Anyway, don't surrender.
Episode 2, Witch's Tea Party.
Bernkastel watches Beatrice wander off, then turns immediately to Battler, who is sort of naked and has had his spirit crushed :( Poor Batora. What ensues is her attempt at a pep talk.
BERNKASTEL: ......I'm sorry. That troublesome one came, but don't mind it.
More importantly, .........things sure got ugly. I thought I'd experienced a very tragic end in Lambda's game, .........but this time, ......it's exceptionally horrible. ...It isn't as though I don't understand that feeling which makes you hug your knees and close your heart.
If you meet that end several more times, your heart will be killed without having to wait one hundred years.
......Beato saw through me, so I'll confess.
You are now just like I was in the past, when I was imprisoned inside Lambda's world. Shut inside a labyrinth of cruel fate, tormented by a witch, in a manner of speaking.
...I am a witch who was born from there. ......So maybe I'm like an older sister to you. So I decided that I'd lend you my power. However, ............even compared to my fate, ......yours is, ...truly brutal. Not only do I sympathize with you, I'm almost brought to tears by your tragic fate.
But please, don't lose heart. Please don't submit to Beato, no matter what. Certainly, that child's game is quite unfair. I've only been allowed a glimpse of the game board, but the unfair and clever devices set up on the stage are so disgusting that they probably far surpass those of Lambdadelta's game board.
And what's even more frightening, is when that child moves a piece, it's not like she always makes the best possible move. This is where she is very different from Lambda. Lambda always uses an overpowering number of pieces to make the best possible move, in order to win. But Beato sometimes intentionally cuts corners when she moves her pieces.
Since when we are in trouble, we try to seek out our opponent's strategy by looking at their moves, this creates a very formidable amount of noise in our information. This could cause a troublesome amount of disorder.
......However, as in chess, a player might be able to create some noise for their opponent with a useless move, but they would still miss out on a more valuable move. In other words, it's not like your opportunities to take advantage of it are zero.
Although you may not be able to believe it, this game was also like that. ......Even though those developments looked so overpowering, ...there actually was a weak point. One that makes me want to take advantage of it. ......Even though I don't know if it's a trap or if she's testing us.
Anyways, don't surrender. Don't stop thinking. Don't deny any possibility. As long as you continue to hold the will to fight, Beato will not win.
What's the most important element in defense during a witch's battle? Rather than trying to win, try not to lose.
...If you lose when you accept her, then you definitely must not accept her. ......Making you accept witches. There is no longer any doubt that this is one of Beatrice's victory conditions.
Now that I have announced that I am your ally, I too will make as great an effort as possible to lend you my power. Make an effort yourself as well. If you're still hugging your knees, quickly stand back up.
......Umm, in times like this, what did I used to say again? .........Umm, uh, .........Fi, ...fight, oh~. Mii, nipa~☆
............It's so embarrassing, doing this. ......I've done this much for you, so quickly stand back up.
Effects:
• NEVER SURRENDER IN A GAME to be honest this is the most important one. There is always a way to win, even when things seem hopeless, she she says she's experienced the cards being stacked against her and she seems fine so!! Clearly there was a way out.
• Knowledge that Beato is the person who owns this witch's game. Basic facial recognition of Battler.
• Knowledge that Lambda is the person who trapped Bernkastel in her own witch's game! She doesn't know Lambda visually yet, but she has that recognition. Also that she calls her "that troublesome one" and other terms like that. Lambda can be pretty annoying. But she's not terribly annoyed, more like...slightly empathetic?
+50 empathy for trapped people's suffering?
• If she likes you she may even say dumb things for you, she'd go that far. She doesn't remember anything about not being a witch yet but it's still important.
• Unlocked: knowledge that she is a witch born from suffering! (From suffering at Lambda's hands, mind you.)
• Knowledge that she is very good at chess.
• Knowledge that you can try to guess people's moves in order to plan your next one in a strategy game.
• Knowledge that Beato is actually setting up the board with overwhelming things, but that she is a messy player -- seemingly intentionally cutting corners to give Battler (so by definition, Bern) a chance to make a move and win.
• Extra knowledge that Lambda likes to win by sheer numbers, overwhelming her opponent.
+100 suspicion about Beato :'|
+10000 confusion because like what is a witch's game really and who is this who are these people
+100 add some more confusion because Umineko and why is she helping? Who knows??
• She does learn that she poker faces a lot though, that's nice.
