A lot of locations got simplified in the PS2 remake. Makes sense, since although it's nice to see a full city and house layout, those are kind of useless clutter that a lot of players will feel compelled to explore and then feel like they wasted time when there's nothing interesting.

I wanted to have this on hand just to help display that the manor is supposed to be way larger than the remake shows.

I don't know if the rest of the manor's rooms have their uses specified through the game (I really need to go back through it properly), but Hugo's study is mentioned by name when you first arrive. I don't know if any of the bedroom's are Leon's, considering none of them are obviously Hugo's either, and Proust kind of implied that Leon doesn't stay at the manor after a certain point. (Then again, Proust was also published 2 years after the game, and the manga that started publication 2 days after the game had already made several changes. Continuity, who needs it.)

The eerily realistic portrait is definitely Chris. It's interesting to see how that portrait changes through adaptations and artbooks. Since it's so realistic, I wonder if it was sourced from a real photograph?

Illustration from the same guide of a younger Hugo making flan meant for Chris. Leon inherited his love of sweets from her. Hugo used to make sweets for Chris a lot?
