- What Akane says is true: Leucocholoridium Paradoxum and Spinochordodes tellini are parasites that cause fatal behavior changes in gastropods and grasshoppers/crickets in order to propogate their life cycles. Toxoplasma gondii similarly affects nearly all warm-blooded animals and can cause negative behavioral changes in humans, though its effect is most pronounced in rats, making them less fearful of felids (within which the virus can reproduce).

Path Summary ("Anthropic Principle")
- Team C awakes in the Rec Room, where Carlos reveals that his parents died because of his inexperience.
- They complete the room's puzzle and are forced to play an unfair game - all three of them must roll a single die, and all must roll a 1. Any other result is death.
- (The player witnesses two bad rolls and they are gunned down. However...)
- Miraculously, all three roll a 1 and they survive. This prompts a discussion between the three about the Anthropic Principle, Tautology and Sophistry.
- It is revealed that Team Q is dead, as are Diana and Sigma.

Path Summary ("Suspicion")
- Akane and Carlos awake in the pantry, with Junpei missing.
- After completing the puzzle, they find Junpei's severed head in the freezer with a bloody axe and chainsaw nearby.
- Akane takes the chainsaw and cuts down the door, and the two exit the room to the lounge.
- Carlos flash backs to his sister, suffering from Reverie Syndrome (which causes memory fragments to flood one's mind continuously). An offhand remark about the promised money causes Akane to believe him to be Junpei's killer.
- She threatens him with the chainsaw before fleeing, leaving Carlos to ponder who really killed Junpei.
