I noticed the reporter and teacher being the same as well. I'm very curious to figure out the truth behind all the many, many secrets we've seen in Therium's and Alvy's routes, and what that vision at the start with the updated prologue actually is, but because there's going to be multiple chapters of the VN, I can only imagine how long it might take to uncover the truth.
I know it's too soon to call, but I have a feeling that Scribbles is the guy who stage this whole things, that character is funny and interesting for sure, but you know what ? I always find sth so suspicious about him, and...demons are demons after all, so I may not be surprised if it turns out to be true.
