You'll be fine, even if you act like a creepy lolicon. We're all Anonymous here. Just be prepared for the possibility of it getting sexual and don't fully expect a serious discussion. Her tits and ass are too delicious.

Umineko summed up.

Also, my interpretation of the infinite parallel worlds in both Higurashi and Umineko is that they are just "possibilities" until a meta being makes them a reality by directly altering the events of the story (Bernkastel made the world of Saikoroshi real by interacting with Miyoko and changing her fate). They can also just find the fragment they want and "observe" it from the MC's point of view (Bern did this with Meakashi and she learned about Shion's theories that she'd never told anyone). Once someone experiments directly or simply observes one of these fragment worlds, it becomes real. Real in the sense that people in that universe actually have consciousness and are not just part of a world of possibilities and what-ifs. They are now real and exist in a real parallel world, no different from the "original" one (whatever it is).

So, Hanyuu is actually responsible for anything awful that happens in all the worlds after the original one where Rika died for the first time. She is, in a way, grabbing random fragments of possibility and making them into real worlds every time she "revives" Rika. Entire universes experienced by millions of consciousnesses (or quadrillions if you believe in aliens). If Hanyuu didn't keep reviving Rika, the world of Tsumihoroboshi would just be a possibility that exist as a fragment in the meta but that didn't really "happen" and wasn't really experienced by anyone. Just a what-if. Every time Rena blew up the school during Rika's journey, it was Hanyuu's fault for making that world a reality.

This explains Umineko too. Why is the single truth given so much importance if the meta is real (even more real than the real world) and there isn't a single "real world" among the infinite number of possible fragments? Because we are dealing with a specific world where Eva survived after Kyrie and Rudolf hijacked Yasu's plan. That was the original world of Umineko. All the gameboards we are shown are real too, but they don't really matter because we are focusing on the original world.

Not only is it the original, but we also have Eva and Battler surviving, meeting at some point and sharing what they know about the incident and Eva raising Ange into a suicidal emo bitch that needs to learn about magic to find happiness. The story is worth telling because those three elements allow Hachijo Tohya to write about the truth (Eva filled in his blanks), Ange has a shitty personality as a result of being raised by Eva and she can get a sort of happy ending by eventually meeting up with Tohya. That's what makes this specific fragment the focus of the story. Otherwise, it wouldn't be as interesting.
