If we have two unreliable narrators, we can subtract one story from the other and see which bits are different.

... and end up with the unreliable bits, sadly. With people, that sort of math doesn't work. :-/

I'm curious to how Reg is going to spin the killing of a group of people, perhaps she will leave that part out. It is conceivable that neither has exactly the correct story, both are capable of bias and having their own interpretations of what happened that day.

...'Bias' is part of being a creature. Demon or 'Cubi; what you say happened is correct, so long as you don't leave survivors to argue otherwise. :P

Well when it comes from the persons lips, I would have to agree.

But the power of flashbacks does sometimes give us a perspective, that at times does, make us question both narratives. It will be kind of interesting to see what kind of dirt the two share will be dug up by the two of them. And see how it matches up with the others story.

well sure. but only in the finer details. two differently biased sources can be used, alongside details we do already have, to sort out a general narrative.

If this was a sit-com they'd be making out in the next scene. But no, we get delicious plot instead!
