I’ve been thinking about this. Maki does physically resemble Lottie, in height and figure, more than anyone else who’s been mentioned. The trouble is, she was the only one who spoke Japanese who was present when Miyamoto cleared Lottie. If she was actually the one who framed Lottie, why would she have told the truth about his final words? Why not claim that he’d definitively fingered Lottie, instead?
