"Zugai", "Skull"
What?
That was a fast day
Oh, my God, what's going on? (Welonz chuckles)
There is now
I can only imagine that she would do 
this to protect her own son
Who else would she care about more than herself?
(Welonz chuckles)
Ooh
Why?
Does she think that her son did it? 
Is that why she's saying that?
Pipes
Camera...camera
And then Surveillance Camera B,
I don't think we can see it from this angle, 
but it's like, above us?
For some reason, Boss is not with me inside 
the room today, she's on the other side
If she's lying, we should be able to
catch her in a lie pretty quickly,
so I'm not too worried here
Yeah, I don't get the impression that 
she knows how to work computer stuff
She didn't do it
Yeah, the whole buying a laptop and 
connecting the thing to the Wifi,
The whole thing was very planned, and 
right now you are improvising
Where?
(Welonz chuckles) You gotta tell me where 
you can pick up a laptop from the garbage
To protect your son from Iris, 
you decide to stab your son
One interesting thing about Ota's Somnium is that,
everything that happened in it,
well, not everything was real, but 
it was very straightforward
And we didn't get any warnings 
from anybody about how,
"Oh, what you see in the Somnium is not
really how it plays out in real life"
This is kind of an aside, but thinking about how
they keep emphasizing that all 
the eyeballs have gone missing so far,
what is whoever has them doing with them?
'Cause if you told me that somebody died,
and their eyeball's missing,
I would normally think, "Oh, okay, well, 
their eyeball's missing, and",
"somebody squished it somewhere."
Disgusting, I know, but
I wouldn't think that they'd do anything with it, 
but because they keep emphasizing it,
Now I'm like, imagining a killer with a 
jar of eyeballs, inside their house.
Mayumi...
Then what's your motivation?
Okay, why did you kill Shoko, then?
She's willing to lie to a police officer
to cover up something else
I feel like it's gotta be for Ota, but--
Can we bring Ota over here? Mm...
Y'know, back in the vision
when we got knocked out by the wok,
what did Iris do to her?
We saw in the corner of our eye, tha-t--
Iris raised her hand, and then nobody spoke
And then Ota's like, "Hey come on, let's go get the car"
and then they both kinda snapped out of it
What happened there?
Wow. We get two in quick succession.
How would she get to the warehouse before Ota, if
she bought the chocolate at the 
same time as him leaving?
What?
Slave driver
(Welonz chuckles)
(Welonz chuckles)
You guys are terrible people.
Maybe because we haven't seen the other path--
the ending of the other path yet, but this 
is splitting off a bit more than I imagined.
I just wanna really quickly look at the flowchart here.
'Cause initially, I thought that coming back here,
well, we got stuck here; I thought that
similarly we would get stuck again, 
but then there's a Somnium here,
and now there's another split
And then we might get another one once 
we get to Psync with Ota's mom later on
So...I don't even know how far this is gonna go
Oh, come on.
This is based off our preconceptions of 
him, because we think he's a energetic,
boy who is only into
uh, admiring idols and
writing light novels and Otaku stuff
Yeah, but do we have any
hard evidence that he can't be the killer?
I would love to have that
"Iris had her eye taken out" is not a real one, no.
Mm...even with the van thing,
Well, it's not...the eye one.
We know he has some kind of like--I mean 
Ota, he has some kind of like, um...
He wants to be the hero
So things that we see in the Somnium, we
 can't take for stuff that happened in real life
If you look at it like that,
"Ota and the polar bear" thing might 
not be hard evidence
because it might be a manifestation 
of him wanting to be a hero
But in real life, the polar bear existed, too.
Hm...
Okay, let's go with that one.
Mm...
Mm.
Especially because we confirmed she can drive
Uh, for the sake of Devil's advocate, 
why don't we try the eye one too?
Wow, that might be a bit too kinky, even for Ota.
A performance that involves...
people getting stabbed and eyeballs getting taken out?
The stabbing--might even be okay, okay? 
'Cause that's gonna heal,
But an eyeball irreversibly getting taken out?
Livestreaming is something that both 
Iris and Ota would know how to do
Especially Iris
Really?
Oh, I never noticed this
Really good point
Mm, I'm kind warming up to this theory 
because, I think it makes a lot of sense why--
Okay, earlier, we were talking about why Ota was suddenly so brave,
why is he so willing to go rescue Iris, but then Mizuki,
the moment he saw a corpse, he ran away
If he was that scared, then he shouldn't 
have been able to help out Iris, either
But it's so crazy though, because
if this performance was allowed to go through properly,
then they both would've died really gruesome deaths.
both of them sawed up.
Oh--No, then it's impossible then, right?
Because ...
in the other route, we saw that Iris 
got killed; she got sawed
and then when we got there,
Iris was moved to the back, and then 
Ota himself got sawed on the table.
Are you telling me that he moved Iris to the back,
and then he laid down on the table, and 
then he pulled on the lever by himself?
I can't see him doing that either, he's--
I feel like he's...really afraid of death
It makes sense but I don't think 
that's it. There's gotta be more
Oh, my God
Yeah
It's kinda like the thing where...
there's two killers, and they kill each other's victims,
so that they can't be linked back
to having a motivation for killing the person they killed
That's a really big plan, though.
(Welonz exhales)
The more we get into this, 
the clearer things should become
but it really doesn't feel that way
Did we let Mayumi go earlier then, because 
the Psync machine wasn't working?
I think she's still at the police station 
while we're fixing the machine
They love each other
They only have each other because 
Ota's dad is gone now
And they're both trying to protect each other by lying.
Well, at least we know where Ota got it from
But all they're doing is making it 
harder for the truth to come out
Hm
Hey it's that photo that he told me to 
look at so that I would get hit by the wok
We know this kid has no poker face
if he actually put on a performance, 
he shouldn't be acting like this
Or--is he so good with his poker face that
 he makes it look like he doesn't have one?
That would be insane,
'cause then he would also be faking his 
thermograph and all too; no, that's not possible
Oh, we're in a bit of a weird situation right now, because
Ota thinks that she confessed 
because she actually is the killer,
but Mayumi confessed 
because she wants to protect Ota
because she thinks Ota's the killer
which makes it more likely 
that neither of them are the killer
If we don't get the Psync machine working,
I feel like we should just sit them down 
together and have them talk and then listen
(Welonz chuckles)
The good thing about Ota, is that 
we can just tell him or theories
and he'll automatically confirm it 
or deny for us (Welonz chuckles)
Mm, no his reaction does tell me that it's not like that
'cause if that's what he did, and we got it right,
he would be more like, 
"No, that didn't happen, that's not real"
but that's not his reaction
That's true, we should remember that
we should take everything she says with a grain of salt.
They loved you
This is where the link to the Kamakuras
 come in, I think, according to Mama
Mm, that's the worst, especially when 
you have some shred of conscience
'cause you'd rather get yelled at for doing something bad, but when you don't get that punishment, it's like,
"No, please, punish me, I feel 
even worse when you don't."
Ohh, she loved him so much, 
but why does he not understand?
He's telling me that he understands how
 much his parents slaved for him
but yet, on the other hand, he's like, 
"I'm gonna become a writer."
One of the hardest jobs to break into, 
to make a living off of
and not finishing university
the thing that his parents slaved over to pay for
Even if she thinks you're a serial killer, my gosh.
Ota, why do you not have a job right now?
 What are you doing then? You're still--
you know, immersed in your idol stuff 
and trying to become a writer
those things are okay, but are you--?
Again, how are you guys financially 
upholding anything here?
Why do you even still own this house and restaurant?
I seriously wonder
I thought it was a given that he was lying, so I didn't 
even register that he was lying (Welonz chuckles)
You tell me you feel bad about it, but 
I don't see any actions that change anything!
I bet Ota feels like a real shithead 
for treating his mom like that
Hm...
Oh, that's rough.
(Welonz exhales)
It is rough, but this is...
Partially because of the dementia, too, like--
his mom does not intend on
trying to irritate him
and I think it's easy to say,
"Oh, my God, Ota why are you so--?"
"Why are you treating your mom so badly?"
But to be on the receiving end of that,
the constant forgetfulness,
if you're living with somebody like that, it'll get to you
At heart,
he's not, like, a horrible person, but his actions...
they don't really match up to what 
he wants to be, and that's why
he's always enamored with the idea of becoming a hero
Yes
Yes
(Welonz exhales) You gonna be okay?
Hang in there, okay?
Speaking of the cold warehouse,
there was one thing that,
I was editing the video that I thought was kinda weird,
the police guy told me about how
they had warm jackets, like, some kinda
 technology that keeps them warm in the jackets
that could just be flavor text, but I 
feel like it's such a random detail that
maybe we should pay attention to it a bit more
Cars are still here
Zero
Mm...well, I shouldn't say 0 because it it possible that--
(Welonz chuckles)
She got in the car, and then drove to the place,
got out, got the chocolates, and then ran back in the car
and then drove off with Iris? (Welonz chuckles)
Oh, my lord.
But that's so weird though, because ehh
where would Mayumi get another car?
They barely have a house
they have one car among two people, you can't tell 
me they have two cars in their place, okay?
That makes no sense
but then where would she get another car?
Did she take the bus here?
That makes more sense (Welonz chuckles)
Oh, my God. A new lead
(Welonz chuckles)
(Welonz chuckles)
More puns
Mm...Lemniscate
And the polar bear guy
Did we--'cause um, when we got here 
the night of the incident,
we ran out of the back door, assuming 
that's the way they left
Why did I do that?
I think Ota told me?
Ota said, "They left through the back 
door", something like that
I'm just thinking here, if there's a 3rd car
 and it's parked here, then
could the polar bear guy have 
gone out through the front instead?
(Welonz chuckles)
But that also has really scary implications
Oh, like Tetris, heh.
But that has really scary implications, because
if the polar bear guy left, like 
when we got to the warehouse,
Mayumi wasn't there
so the taxi that got here took her back
But then the polar bear guy left by themselves?
Or are they the same person?
Or did they go together, did they carpool?
Mayumi and the polar bear guy carpooled?
With the taxi, to the Leminscate parking lot?
(Welonz chuckles)
Think I'm starting to really, really confuse myself now
Yeah
It's so strange why they made it a point to say the 
other one was frozen and doesn't move
Hm
To Lemniscate we go.
