Follow-up on last night's post

This is going to be a very short post, but it's going to chronicle a thought I've been having:

What if we're presented a lot of the scenes out of order or completely out of the context that we think it is. For instance, we see Kinzo scenes at the beginning of every arc, but we also know Kinzo is dead at the beginning of every arc. I know I wondered yesterday about whether we could trust anything that we're shown without Battler in the frame, so this post may not be saying much, but what if, for instance, all of the scenes we see with Kinzo without a definite time context happen, they just happen way in the past.

Now, of course, this doesn't resolve everything. What happens in Arc 4 for the first twilight obviously doesn't get solved by this. Natsuhi also has some 'splaining to do, given that obviously her "you have the one-winged eagle engraved on your heart" conversation couldn't have happened with the real Kinzo, since Eva putting the paper on the door gives context to when that conversation must have occurred. However, it seems resaonable that the sequence at the start of the series with Nanjo, Genji, and Kinzo could have happened earlier.
