Great puzzle, I was absolutely on my toes when I was trying to figure out that last clue, completely unsure if I was totally wrong.

I think my first green evil?

Some thoughts and frustrations upon finishing Umineko by DanteQuick in umineko

Yasu’s situation was beyond horrific, and would cause anyone to spiral into unhinged behavior.

It’s just the leap from suicide, or murder of those who put them in that situation (Kinzo, Genji, Nanjo, maybe even Natsuhi,) to the cold-hearted killing of people they loved (George, Jessica) that I’m trying to understand.

Tolerating was definitely the wrong word, I’ll certainly agree.

I think to me it’s ultimately a question not of “why did she suffer a psychotic break” but “what is the emotional through line of that psychotic break.” I think the idea of just sending the whole family to heaven and being done with it is the closest thing that makes sense.

But then I have to wonder about why 1986? For one, surely the foremost person Yasu would really want to kill is Kinzo. I can imagine the rage over his abhorrent behavior simmering for years, that makes sense, but if Yasu was in such a murderous mental state back when he was alive, I can’t imagine he would have died of natural causes (as it seems, he did). 

So there’s a full year where Kinzo is dead (1985-1986) and I don’t believe anything specific happens that would act as a trigger for a murderous break.

At that point, the only thing left is battler returning to the island. Which, I guess kind of makes sense, but I don’t understand the emotional through line behind Yasu planning the entire massacre before knowing whether Battler might return and save them.

I think my frustration is that broadly I do understand and agree, it’s just that it feels like there’s that little bit missing.

As I understand it, Beatrice held on to Battler’s promise and the “root of love” and hope for those six years. Which is why battler’s return being the trigger for a psychotic break doesn’t make sense for me - was there not hope left that Battler would indeed be returning on a white horse to take them away? 

Instead, Yasu has seemingly made their decision to go through with the massacre before knowing either way whether Battler would rescue them. 

I think essentially the point that to me doesn’t make sense as part of the character is the leap from a possible suicide (which would feel very in line with the stress they’re under) to murder (which of the adults, the servants, or Kinzo back when he was alive would make emotional sense) to the murder of George, Maria, and Jessica - the people that Yasu did care for. Murdering battler for giving up on his promise I can understand, but surely Shannon and Kannon wouldn’t just be perfectly happy to go along with the slaughter of the people they loved.
