DR5 - Mirrored Embers - Chapter Six - Finale [Surviving Participants + Jane win]

“Well, what do you think of your boxes?”

“There are more revelations about your past still to come…but I can’t say that all of them are nearly so cheerful…”

“Wow, this is old, older than me actually…and actually. my dad wrote this. Guess he thinks that the Atlantic Wastes shouldn’t need to be bound to international regulations.”

Whatever that means. He looked up at Aretena, a little worried.

“…I’m not looking forward to it.”

But… but…

Mastermind tries to stops the loop?

Why defeating them would stop it?

It’s a trap!

We need to NOT lynch a MM to stop the loop!

the MM is right!

If I remember the lore correctly, Mastermind is actually trying to make the loops worse and worse to make those outside the Knot stop the loops (because they think that those outside the Knot are willfully continuing this despite how awful it is).

It is amusing, however, that catching the Mastermind is what stops the loops, because that means that the Mastermind, despite wanting the Knot to stop, is ultimately the thing that’s keeping it going.

I fucking hate this job.

I just want to grill for gods sake

And they are right about that part

My traitor, oathbreaker/
don’t say you had no choice/
He was my son; it was your promise/
There are things I can’t forgive and this is one/
And though this world may burn I’ll see my justice done.

Oh yeah did I mention my boon for Ch5?

I got a new passive which would have only worked if I were the blackened for Ch5.
If I was able to correctly guess the Mastermind, then I’d still win even if I were found guilty by everyone else.

Pffffft.

Also my items in my box are a human tongue, a book on Homunculi, a book on computer programming and my medical evaluation.

alyx puts the gameboy away

“so, did i miss anything?”

Well I’ve outed what I received after this trial.
Two books, a human tongue and my medical evaluation.
Apparently I have a condition that makes me severely tried. They did bloodwork on me to try ruling out common causes.

“…have you tried sleeping?”

I doubt my medical evaluation would have been necessary if it could just be fixed by sleeping.
No I think this is something more than sleep deprivation.

Also I just realised that out of all the students still alive here, Alicia is the only IC as of now.

“…maybe it’s just your sleep schedule?” alyx shrugs

“guess i’m not a medical expert.”
