Taking Responsibility.

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.

And if our inner darkness, our despair... if that is what makes us susceptible to the Risen...

Then beings who do not feel this are of no use.

So...basically, ducks are soulless here?

Well, they are not human, so whatever souls they might have would not be the same.

And... the Risen wouldn't need those.

Do you think whoever started this game does? Whoever gave them the reins?

...I wonder what these originators are even after. It doesn't seem like it could be the same thing as the Risen.

...What did that entity say...? "Who it benefits depends on who's running the game. Sometimes it benefits everyone outside. Sometimes it benefits no one. Sometimes it benefits the people running the game. It never benefits the players."

Someone must have begun it all. I wonder which was the case for them?
