Really interesting

Recent tunnelling headlines brought me back here.

Glad the dog is safe from that house.

The thing I fear most in this chapter is the architect's rich imagination.

The couple was supposedly trying to hide the kid, but the real state agents and thus people interested in buying the house have been informed about him. Even the room is labeled as "the children's room".

This one at least is possible.

Saitama is kind of bedroom neighbourhood to Tokyo. It’s possible that the residents typically went out from morning and only return at night to sleep, so interaction between neighbours would be minimal.

They don’t need to hide about having a child from the real estate agents, nor hiding the hidden room from prospective buyers in the future. The family wouldn’t be interacting with them that much. It’s kind of like the windows trick, if they don’t act like there’s something to hide, people typically won’t feel suspicious.

The important part is, keeping the neighbours from noticing, which wouldn’t be so difficult. If they never saw the kid, they will just assume this couple got no child. Not like they will check their neighbour's floor plan like a creep.

Worst way to make a murder house imo

When i first watched the video this was adapted from, I kind of thought the reveal was that the couple was hiding a second child- the one who lives upstairs- with the second child living in the mysterious first floor room.

I thought it was going to be a sex thing.

This is really entertaining but idk how this man instantly thought "MURDER!!!" like idk why not oh the child is sick and can't move around freely, or maybe it's for some freaky shit

I mean it is fiction.....what can you do. Even with all of their hypothesis, there are too many plot holes, like an actual architect pointed out in the forum, the house has no first floor supporting walls for the second floor. And I have other reservations about the feasibility and motivations of the murders but I am hoping the future chapters can explain this.
