Is Krauss's name actually supposed to be Klaus? They seem to have a lot of German sounding traditional names, except Beatrice, whose name is pronounced in a very Italian fashion, so I wonder.Umineko no Naku Koro ni " Welcome to the world of "Umineko When They Cry" (When Seagulls Cry) I like the idea of it being in the house, but assuming Krauss, Eva, Rudolf and Rosa grew up there, it would be fairly weird for them never to notice anything.
