She stares toward the large metal doors to the playroom, "So the emergency protocol refers to the Dragon's room. That button, the Dragon's Fury button may be what set off the protocol. Then I killed the Sheep, but I could not have known that I would have."

"Hmm...I'm not sure about this theory," he says, "I don't see any other injuries on Mei's body that would suggest she fell from a great height."
"That doesn't make sense anyway," Taikong mumbles, "We know for a fact that Sunny doesn't have any other injuries. And what would be the point of an emergency protocol that kills everyone in the room?"
"Maybe we're misunderstanding how this thing works..." Amethyst mumbles.
[Also, nothing on Suyin's dress seems wide enough to cause the strangulation marks.]

"Maybe she was holding onto it after the floor started descending?" Sun Taikong suggested, pacing about manically. "Perhaps instead of the whole room going down, only the floor does."
"That's a fact and we know it," X's voice echoes in the playroom in front of her. "We heard through the vent, which we would not have been able to do if it had been dragged underground. The vent was not so thoroughly disconnected. We know now that the room was lowered in that time. I think her holding onto the vent is implausible. Nobody would do that. The bruises on her hands might be from her being locked in something."

Amandi removes Suyin’s bandages and compares them to the marks on her wrists. They appear to match. He can only guess in regards to Mei’s bandages, but they seem close to.
However, it doesn’t seem like Suyin’s bandages had been removed at any point.

"Yes, yes, you're right," Sun Taikong agreed, still pacing about. "Actually, there is something we've overlooked! What if someone killed Mei and Mao while Suyin was out voting? They must have merely knocked Sunny out, not wanting to murder a child. Suyin came back to find the others dead, which is why we only heard her at that time. That means," he concluded, stopping in place and sweeping his eyes over the others, "that the killer could still be alive, standing among us right now!"
"Well, when I left to vote, you and Monk came after me." Amethyst said. "We left X in the monkey room alone."

"The weapons they used were their own. Perhaps the killers simply wanted a peaceful release from this life and this game. Waiting inside that playroom for eventual death would only make the struggle continue for eternity." She sways very close to the gate, "It is the ultimate goal of humans, to have a contented death. One they can agree to."

"Let's think this through, from the perspective of those in the Monkey room. Amethyst told us that Fujisaki had said he was going to betray. Then Amethyst told us that, for some reason, she was going to betray too. Knowing this... wouldn't you want to 'ensure' Suyin didn't pick betray as well?"
He began pacing around again, pointing a finger erratically at things as he thought. "So this 'someone' from the Monkey room enacted a plan. This fucker set out and murdered each and every person in the Dragon room, though I suppose they spared Sunny. After Suyin left, they got into the Dragon room via the vent and killed Mei and Mao. Then they went after Suyin, and ambushed her before she voted. At this point they could bring Sunny out of the Dragon room and hide him in the throne room, thereby avoiding taking him through an Afterlife gate. He lost CDPs from being moved about, but the killer could just donate them back to make up for the deficit. We'd never know.
"After setting everything up, they returned via the vent. When Yang announced the results, they went running off, making sure we couldn't see what they were up to. They set off the bomb, triggering the emergency protocols. Suyin, who had been tied to the mobile by bandages, would later fall as it gave way, which we heard. When this happened we shut down the emergency protocols, and guess what? Our killer ran off once again! This time they got to the scene early so they could reach in with their bracelet-less arm and retrieve their bandages from Suyin's body, and move Sunny into the antechamber. We all arrived, and found them standing right over him...
"How's that? Am I any closer this time, X?" he snarled, turning to glare right at her.

She laughs hard to herself, her pale face blushing with barely-contained glee.
"Alright, Rat. You forget that our conclusion about the playroom comes from what we observed after the murder. You think the killer had prior knowledge about how it works, tying up the Sheep so she would fall to her death. If that's right then I can't be the killer. That much is impossible. The rest is incomprehensible. I will point out that I would have been seen following the Sheep to the throne room though."
X lets her hair roll out of her face and the others notice that she seems to have a few fewer bandages on her face.

X looks past Taikong at the doctor, "Dr. Uwem, tell us what has been going on. I know that you have enough information to understand everything. You're always so reticent to share your thoughts. Why did they die?"

"Mao probably died first, because if Mei died first, then it would poses a problem... Mao have the sledgehammer, so he could easily take down the attacker... So, you got ahold of the sledgehammer and killed Mao by striking him in the head. I don't know how you knocked out Suyin, but you did. I think that Mei was next to die. You removed the bandages from your face and used them to strangulates Mei. All this happened while Sunny was in the corner, frightened by what he was seeing. You knew that you didn't want to hurt him, so you searched Mei's bag for the sedatives so you can drugs him. This was what Sunny meant when he said that he saw a demon. The demon was you without the face bandages!"
"But the real problem came was that it was Suyin's turn to submit her vote... You knew that someone would get suspicious and check on Suyin's group. So, in order to move suspicions off Suyin's group.... You disguised as Suyin and went to 'vote'. Monk couldn't tell that it was you pretending to be Suyin. He was none the wise to your ruse. Once the coast was clear, you went back and put Suyin's otufit back on... This was probably why Suyin's dress was a bit loose; you didn't know how to put on a dress like Suyin's! So, you tied Suyin to the mobile. Then you must have hid Sunny in a place where you only would know where to look. Then you snuck back to the Monkey room, without the people knowing you were absent. I don't know how they didn't notice, but that doesn't matter anyway..."
"What matter now is... Finally, when Yang told us the battle have been lost, you rushed out to detonates the bomb by pushing the Dragon's Fury button. The bomb blast would triggers the emergency protocols causing the floor in the Dragon Room to fall and the door to be locked down. Suyin was left hanging in the air, dangling above certain death. It was only then when we attempted to make contact with Suyin's group that Suyin called out, just before the mobile's string snapped due to it being unable to support Suyin's weight. I'm sorry, I didn't mean to be rude, but that's what happened. So, after we shut down the emergency protocols, you quickly made your move. You needed to hid evidence that you did all this. First, you got Sunny from the hiding place and placed the boy exactly where we would find him. Then you reached in, with your non-bracelet arm to remove the bandages from Suyin's wrists. That way, we'll be stumped on how it all happened."
"I don't know how much of this is true, but it's closer to the actual truth of what happened." The doctor concluded. "As for why they died, frankly, I don't know the answer to that question... But maybe you do, X."

"Dr. Uwem, your thinking has the same hole as the Rat's. How did I know about the true nature of the playroom? It's ridiculous isn't it? To base my entire plan from the start on something so outlandish would be foolish." She takes in a raspy breath, not bothering to move. "Isn't that strange, Dr. Uwem? What would you call it? Maybe insane? Or is there something else?" She wheezes hard.

"There's two ways that you could have known about the true nature of the playroom... First option is that you probably checked what was on the flash drive that Monk found. Second option is that you somehow accessed the Morphogenetic Field and saw information that revealed the true nature of the Dragon room..."
"Or.... Third option; maybe you still have Spectre Syndrome and you somehow found out about the true nature of the Dragon room from your spectre friend...? But that can't be right..."

X props herself up on her hands, covered ash. She struggles to her feet, stumbling from side to side. "The killer doesn't want to escape. They have enough points but they won't leave. They even hid The Dragon in the twelve door before moving him back out here. They made a confusing murder based off things they shouldn't know. Are they the Cat? Or are they just me?"
She walks up to Dr. Uwem and tries to yank the cane out of his hands, "You talk about that day, but there really isn't anything special about it!? Why do you watch over me!? Why do you put up with me!?"

"Is my behavior so strange?! Is it worth all the poking and prodding and trapping me?! It could have been the two of you doing an experiment on my body. Maybe you two irrevocably messed me up and now you can't let me go because you would be responsible," X says, ending her sentence in an eerily-level tone of voice.

It sounds like the doctor was hinting that there was a third person who know about both X and the experiment that day. Just who could this third person be?
"I'll let this person speak for themselves." The doctor said as he glances towards the rest of the group.

"Here's everything that happened in this incident...
"It was actually a quite simple murder, once you understood the central trick. Instead of the killer murdering the Dragon group while everyone had an alibi, they murdered them while everyone else has an alibi.
"Their plot began when they heard Amethyst decide to Betray the other groups. They resolved to take the vent over to the Dragon room, supposedly just to move the large bomb outside. However, once they did this, they grabbed the large sledgehammer and killed Mao with it. They then used it to knock Suyin unconscious. Afterwards, they took the bandages off their face and used them to strangle Mei. Then they took a syringe from their bag and approached Sunny with it. The 'demon' Sunny saw was actually the killer's horribly scarred face, uncovered by bandages.
"The killer wanted us to think the group was still alive, so they put on Suyin's mask and dress and walked to the dungeon. Fortunately, Monk saw them on the way. Because the killer didn't submit anything at the terminal, the Dragon room was locked down...We assumed it was because Suyin allied. Once the killer returned, they put Suyin's dress back on but failed to tie it perfectly. Then the killer used some of their bandages to hang Suyin from the solar system mobile, knowing that it wouldn't hold up for long. Finally, they moved Sunny out of the playroom through the Meridian Gate, thinking he was dead. Then they returned to the server room.
"After the results of the Wood Battle were announced, they ensured they were first to the throne room for two reasons. First, they wanted to blow up the bomb to trigger the emergency protocols in the Dragon room—which was actually a bunker in disguise. Second, they wanted to hide Sunny in the [12] door, now that they had enough points to do so. As for why they didn't actually escape through the [12] door, I'm not sure. Presumably, they had reasons they would prefer to stay here.
"When we were all in the server room, the most devious part of the plot began. The floor in the bunker descended as part of the emergency protocol. This left Suyin dangling from the ceiling, with a deep elevator shaft beneath her. The killer knew that the bandages supporting her wouldn't last for long, and they were counting on this. They believed that when Suyin fell to the bottom and finally perished we would hear of it from Yang, thereby securing her—and everyone else—an alibi. However, she didn't count on Sunny still being alive. Fortunately for her, Suyin woke up in the shaft and began to scream, but her trashing about was enough to break the mobile holding her up.
"Afterwards, the killer once again made sure they were first on the scene to cover up their tracks. They moved Sunny out of the [12] door and left him on the floor outside the Afterlife Gate, then they reached in and grabbed their bandages from atop Suyin's corpse. This created the illusion of a seemingly impossible series of murders.
"The only one here with the means and the opportunity is Patient X...but as for the motive? I have no clue..."
