That's a late discussion i've started, but i've found it interesting after discussing it with my friend.

So, remember that one video Netease posted of the groups from different manor games taking pictures with skins? Then there suddenly was one with: Qi Shiyi, Joseph, Robbie and Percy.

Felt crazy and pretty random at first, didn't it? That is, until we came to the information that "Subject 12-1-1-C" is a device that's present on Game 13 creating illusions that are causing the participants to break down. Yeah, so, it's very clear now that 12-1-1-C is Joseph's camera with Joseph inside, just like Wu Chang was just a tool used to affect Jose during Game 5.

So right now, it's safe to assume that Game 13 is currently composed by Qi Shiyi, Dolores Whyte, Percy and Joseph Desaulniers(kind of).

A noticeable pattern that can be seen in that hypothetical cast is that everyone there has a sense of grief regarding a dead loved one. Qi Shiyi seeks Tang Si but seemingly came to the conclusion that she's already gone and likely that it was Joseph's fault.

12-1-1-C, from it's serial number, implies that Joseph has been in Game 12 as a tool from the start and 12-1-4(Tang Si) had enough information about him to leave clues that would end up leading Qi Shiyi directly to it.

Now, about the other participants, i personally find it unlikely that Percy would be a common participant with a room of his own. He must display a similar role to Bane and Leo, in which he's supposed to attack participants on sight.

It's safe to assume that there are more participants there, ones that Dolores would have conspirated with against Qi Shiyi upon perceiving her as a possible threat after Qi destroyed Joseph's camera. Dolores decided that they should eliminate her first... i find it interesting, because that's kind of a break of how we perceived Dolores as a character. Of course, we're not to expect any morality from highly drugged anxious grieving hostages, but i'd imagine Dolores acting so dirty as a rat. And even with all that, it appears that Qi Shiyi was able to defend herself just fine against all of them.

To finish things, what can we take from Dolores Whyte likely being on Game 13 as an antagonist to Antiquarian? That the orphans are distributed and a reunion between them isn't actually happening. For example, people have been thinking that Florian seems closer to the main story than any manor game from his background, even if everything points towards him having been at the orphanage before. Emma's second manor game seems to have an entire cast with memory loss, which isn't really Florian or Dolores' case.

So yeah, Emma's second manor game is also gonna have a pretty random cast that is somewhat irrelevant to her past... kinda sad, as i wanted them to reunite. Oh well, Antiquarian's Manor Game is still FIRE 🔥🔥🔥

(I'm making a drawing about Game 13, hope i can find the strenght to paint it)
