What For?

erebus-cheslock:

What did the P4 hope to achieve by ‘hiring’ or getting the help of the Aurora Society and UT? If Redmond got the idea to send for them to help out with their murdered students and deputy headmaster problem, then it stands to reason that he (and by extension the rest of the P4) knew what they would be doing with the bodies.

As I and others have said before, it’s more than likely that Derrick’s body, and possibly the others, were hidden away at Purple House for safe-keeping. It would explain Violet’s irrational outburst preventing others from entering the building (when it was ON FIRE!). 

Going with the idea that the P4 hired the AS and UT to bring their murdered victims back to life and carry on as if nothing happened (why else?) it begs the question why they were so utterly horrified when BD Derrick made his debut at the tea party. 

Were they not expecting him to be fully awakened so soon? Where they told by UT to bide their time until he was ready, only for the doll to be brought out prematurely? The way Greenhill reacts one would be forgiven for thinking that he never expected Derrick to be walking around like this at all, let alone talking about tea.

Of course, the P4 wanted to clear their consciences and desperately try to undo their terrible deed by bringing their victims back from the dead. But this, I think, is yet another example of just how foolish they are. All they had to do was burn or bury the body and get rid of the evidence (burn the cricket bat if you have to) and so long as Greenhill kept his mouth shut, Weston nor anyone else would be any the wiser that a brutal mass murder took place. 

Now, I know that the P4 going overboard in an attempt to right their own wrongs is well within their personalities, but still. Their first priority was Weston. if they cared so much about their own consciences they wouldn’t have done what they did in the first place. The remaining three P4 were quite willing to raise the bloodied bat high and smash it down onto the dead Arden’s head. They all had blood on their hands, that would not change even if they brought Derrick back. All they needed to do to keep beloved Weston safe was dispose of the evidence – the witnesses were all dead, and the weapon could be easily disposed of too.

So where they simply delusional, trying to have their cake and eat it, or was this just Yana’s way of getting UT and the AS, and by extension Ciel, into the plot?

Thoughts?
