Hi! I have a few canon specific questions, most of them are spoilers related to Higurashi and given that the newest iteration of the series (Gou) is recent, I'll be marking them here, highlight to read:
1) In terms of canon updating - Higurashi characters go through various Fragments (alternate worlds) with the same characters in them; would it still be applicable to canon update? For example: if I were to apply for Mion here from Meakashi-hen, would I be able to eventually canon update her to Matsuribayashi-hen? The two arcs are set in different 'worlds' so to speak. In terms of memories, while they don't exactly remain between arcs, there is a posssibility for characters in the canon to have memory flashbacks of past worlds due to memory accumulation by characters looping through various Fragments.
Because of that nature, would characters canon updating forget what happened during the events in game until they have that recall as well?
Or would this even be possible?
2) And another spoiler-related question, this with an added cw: illness/murder - Higurashi characters have something called the Hinamizawa syndrome - something that, in canon was considered practically 'incurable' until the core of the syndrome changed. In terms of the syndrome, it can cause characters to grow paranoid (under certain circumstances) to the point where they'd wind up killing other people, including themselves. Would they still have the syndrome in this environment?
Thank you so much for reading and your future response!
