trustfelled | 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.

It's alright. We're gonna kick their asses.

They could not even let her keep the photos of her friends...

Of her...

[ Oh. She takes out Photo 4. ]

... they didn't do whatever happened to this one, did they?

I do not expect so.

That means... this one is probably important.

[ Hey... from what she can see, what are the two in this picture wearing? And do they recur in the other photos? ]

[ Pretty plain clothing! The teenage boy, as stated, only appears in this photo, and he's wearing pretty plain clothes, from what you can tell. A green hoodie and a white shirt.

The one with their face ripped out, however... From the clothes, you can tell that person is in every picture. The most identifying item? An over-sized red jacket. ]

It's too big...

[ Sharing clothes. Heh. ]

If that jacket on that grave was Michael's, I think... I think this might be the Transmitter.

She only ripped her face out on this one. There might be regrets associated with this other boy specifically.

He's not in any other picture.

... Do you think maybe he's Michael?

Her message implied that she harbors guilt over his death, so...perhaps.

...Hmm, would this other boy be relevant to this place then? Possible newly a-Risen?

So that's what's going on! Michael is the Transmitter!

[...

...

...]

Wait, no. The Transmitter had a female voice. So either Michael had a really high-pitched voice -- it's possible -- or he's not the Transmitter.

A sister. That's who the Transmitter is. Do we have a name anywhere?
