Despite the lack of a body this week, you've had more than enough to explore and investigate; some of it may have answered some questions, while the rest...well, the rest may have just raised more.
However you feel about it, the fact remains that as soon as you all step out of that new section above the third and make your way back toward one of the primary hallways, the lights quite suddenly go out, casting the hospital into complete darkness.
Several seconds pass before something seems to happen and what sound like backup generators kick back on; the lights struggle their way back to life, only to immediately flicker and die again.
It happens twice more before the power seems to stay on for good - they're feeble, but they're on, and at least it's enough to see by. It seems the power is stronger in one place in particular, however, and it shouldn't be a surprise which it is; the courtroom remains just as illuminated as ever, the seats ringing the old operating theater remaining as starkly unoccupied as they always do, and the podium circle that awaits you seems to have been set up in its final configuration. Sakura Kashima's portrait has joined the ranks of the deceased, her podium draped in black cloth. A final reminder of all you've lost here.
Perhaps it's upsetting. Perhaps it'll only serve to make you more determined.
The public-address system remains eerily silent, even after you've found your places in the circle; once in a while the quiet is broken by soft bursts of static, by a heavy, electric-sounding humming noise. Occasionally, whispers can be heard; whatever they're saying, it's probably not for you. Regardless, however, one thing is obvious: this is the end of the line, wherever it may have taken you.
Eight Patients remain.
Good luck. |

[ He thinks for a moment before listing. ]
First off, the fact that the rooms were all created for us in the state they are in now.
About herself, she said she's been created and has never been alive, but she's a real person. The Risen didn't make her, she is not affiliated with them.
These games... they have different benefactors depending who is running them, but it never benefits the players. This specific game is under full control of the Risen, no further party involved. They did not create the game itself though.
The Risen's power can not revive anyone permanently, but it is not impossible and we may be able to attain the power while we're here.
Further, Greed ask if this is a simulation, which received no answer. Noteworthy, because otherwise she said outright if she could not answer.

Simulation means too much shit to narrow down. Could mean a test, it could mean something faked, or it could mean somethin' else.

[ So dumb. ]
Most of the rest aligns with what we guessed about Submerged. The reviving... Dunno what to make of that. Or the part about the simulation.
