[BLIND LET'S PLAY]
Taking Kibiki's second research tape that Yuka managed to get ahold of, Neo and the group learns the specifics from Kibiki himself on how to correctly perform the Sachiko Ever After to escape Heavenly Host, before witnessing his demise at the hands of his protégé. The group then uses what they saw in the tape to uncover a hidden ladder in the custodian's closet. After climbing it and seeing themselves entering a familiar bathroom, the group laments over Seiko's death. Afterward, they discover two things: another tape (but with no way to watch its contents it might as well be a paperweight), and the fact that Naomi doesn't have her scrap of paper from the Sachiko Ever After charm. When Naomi panics over her missing scrap, Satoshi and Yuka promise to stick with her in case the worst case scenario for Naomi becomes inevitable.
Neo then switches to Ayumi and Yoshiki, and has the two groups reunite and discuss everything they've uncovered up until that point before going off on their own once again, but not before Ayumi remembers to give Naomi back her missing piece of the Sachiko Ever After charm that she discovered earlier.
Still controlling Ayumi and Yoshiki, Neo eventually takes them to a sinister-looking room where, after a contrived way to separate Ayumi from Yoshiki is created, the two finally reunite with Ms. Yui. The happy reunion is cut super short, however, with the floor beneath Ayumi and Ms. Yui's feet opening up beneath them, with the two of them clinging to the edge of the floor for dear life. Ms. Yui urges Ayumi to use Ms. Yui's body to pull herself up and save herself, and after doing so Ayumi is forced to flee the room, ending Ayumi and Yoshiki's final encounter with their teacher in tragedy - and adding some context to an extra end Neo had seen in earlier episodes. The duo continues on, before falling into another trap.
With Ayumi and Yoshiki no longer being available for Neo to control, he is forced to take back control of Satoshi's group. He guides them to the principals office in the second wing, and after gaining access to the room he discovers Sachiko's tongue and a hidden ladder leading into the sealed-off basement of Heavenly Host - the bomb shelter. It is here that Neo uncovers the largest collection of corpses he's seen within Heavenly Host, and Taguchi, Kibiki's assistant, who flees from the sight of Naomi for some unknown reason.
Moving further into the bomb shelter, Neo eventually uncovers a dissection room, where he witnesses Yoshikazu both attacking Taguchi and handling Seiko's corpse, while Satoshi's group hides out of sight to watch these events unfold. Seeing Seiko being dragged away, Naomi gives chase, not wanting Seiko's corpse to be further desecrated than it already has, forcing Neo and the rest of the group to chase after Naomi in turn...
