Fragment flowchart shows a split after the fourth piece. Right side only goes down 1 slot; left goes down two.

Suspicion, it says. They're in the Pantry now, and Junpei's not with Akane and Carlos. The door is locked...Carlos thinks Junpei might have done it, and that now he's Zero's accomplice. Akane says that's not possible. Carlos asks Akane directly what Junpei is to her. She considers him very special, as she didn't have many friends. We get a truncated version of the rabbit story. But she concedes that the past year, he's been the exact opposite of how he used to be. She wonders if it's because of her somehow. Yeah, that's probably accurate. Carlos says that he hasn't had much luck with romance, but he can tell when someone's in love. Akane asks if that means he doesn't have anyone like that in his life, and he says that the only person that means that much to him is his sister. Fair enough. Akane teases him that he has a sister complex, though. And it seems we finally have our first escape segment.

Fwip, fwip, fwip...ah, right, my stylus went missing a couple of months ago. I assume based on when I last had it that it got eaten by a piece of furniture but I've checked the area multiple times. I go back to do my most thorough search yet, but all I get for my trouble is a face full of dust bunnies and the attention of my yandere cat. I search for something else that can serve as a stylus. I suppose this pen cap will do. Hmm, two screens seem to be showing almost the exact same thing, but not quite. Until I choose something to zoom in on and the top screen stays with the wider view. Machine, powered down, hole looks like a gingerbread man. Boxes have rations, but no interesting text. Locked door to freezer; four-digit passcode. Air duct's too small to crawl through...Ah, a cabinet. Locked of course. A blue doll and a right arm are in there, and the glass has various green lines. On the other side, a bottle and a card, and the lines are pink. Trying to examine further only gets the other contents examined, even though what I want to examine are the lines. ...Oh, wait, we're going to find a way to project more lines onto it, which will make words. Ah, thought I saw something, but I guess it's just the foot of the cabinet because clicking on it took me back to viewing the cabinet. A box of potatoes also has a "round part", and two lines of text:

L-door -->
<-- R-door

A poster with a gelatin recipe. Powder, water, and the mold. Directions in a picture. I think that's going to unlock the machine. ...Oh, hey, we get a back log of past text! Another box, this time with a mannequin's right leg...we can't take it. In the golden timeline, Junpei would've been the one to go through the Number 7 door, not Akane. But we've completely circled around...oh. The locks on the glass doors are literally one input? No, they are not...I try pressing right and then left, repeatedly. After six inputs--Right, Left, Right, Left, Right, Left--it tells me I'd failed. Damn, I was hoping that would be the key! Oh, wait, we do have one item...huh. It fits in the head of the gingerbread man. We can power it on already. ...No we can't, we still need the gelatin man. I go to the left door and hit right six times. No good. I find a sliding door in a cabinet I'd already looked over, but all that's in there is a left mannequin arm handcuffed to the bar. There's also a drawer without a handle in the fridge-machine-thing. I am thoroughly stumped, and have a sneaking suspicion that this game has evolved to the point that even the puzzles themselves can't be solved without accessing the morphogenetic field. It would be in line with the First Nonary Game, after all. I save and head to the flowchart. Heh, maybe I should've picked "Team Select". Well, this does confirm that there are versions where I have to kill off a team early. I jump to another of Team C's fragments.
