Discussion topic for George Ushiromiya, son of Eva and Hideyoshi, oldest of the cousins.
Please spoiler tag any reference to events from beyond the current Episode covered in the Tea Party with the [spoiler] tag, providing adequate context in parenthesis.
Based on my Ep1 experience, George… honestly doesnt do much. Actually, its the fact that he survives Ep1 until the end, and yet I still have a hard time defining him that makes him interesting to me.
Unlike many of the characters on the island, George seems like someone you could trust. He’s the oldest of the cousins and therefore a role model, he’s mature, dependable, and honest in appearance, and he usually stays pretty calm. On the surface at least, he doesnt seem deceitful.
You know who else would want to be perceived in all those ways? Someone who was trying to deceive you. Im not making any official accusations here or anything, but, man, I dont like those glasses. Especially all those sprites where you cant see his eyes. He’s definitely hiding something…
Well, obviously, we already know he’s hiding something! He was hiding his relationship with Shannon. And you know, people who lie about something more trivial are much more likely to lie about bigger thing. Bigger things, like… murder!?
It’s a stretch to point the finger at him this early, but I can see what you mean. George has a very cool and collected personality for the most part, but he also strikes me as the kind of person who has incredible strength and fortitude. Maybe enough to commit murder if he had a good enough reason.
I’ll save further comments for after you’ve read Episode 2, since you’ll see a lot more of his character there.
