i love the kind of twist where because we’re viewing everything through the narrator’s eyes, we’re subsequently biased because of their subconscious bias on all of the story’s events and so their own emotions get in the way of their investigation … does that make sense ? so like even if all the evidence is pointing to it from the beginning , if the guilty party is someone they feel affectionately towards they’ll just subconsciously deny it and because we’re seeing their thought process we’ll just assume that they’re giving us the facts when actually they’re not even being entirely honest with themselves. i just find it very interesting that when you have a personal/emotional tie to the situation it puts an entirely new spin on it (which gives the opportunity for a much more interesting character arc imo)
