"Penalty. Penalty. You are charged with a rule violation. That means you must be punished. Time to exterminate." This Q has ridiculous strength, sending them flying with a single punch. Carlos sees the deaths of Q-Team. How to survive? Carlos decides to SHIFT again, but he can't leave them behind. He'll come up with a plan in another history and SHIFT right back. And now into the timeline where Carlos murdered Akane with an axe after she came at him with a chainsaw, because Junpei was dead in a freezer. This Carlos is shocked to see Akane dead, but realizes which history he's in. He says he killed her, then corrects it to say it was the him from this history. Has to be fixed somehow...I was right, he did lose a hand here. He sends a message to Q-Team: "Search the Family Portrait".

I'm absolutely certain that this does change something in a Q-Team fragment, but I can't tell what. Where was the family portrait? I feel like it should be "Pop Off"; that's the same timeline where Carlos landed. But every possible input down that path has led to the wrong side. Maybe it's the three-way standoff?

..."No One" was actually an option this time. It wasn't in other name inputs. Well, that's how we get Q killed here. Hold on, this is something. "Three Days later". We get the same scene as in Eric's flashback to when his Mom was alive. He wants things to be like this forever and ever...then things go red, and it's a game over. Okay, that was strange. I expected maybe some real exposition. Well, it seems we only have one fragment open for new content if we can't get the password to a Force Quit Box. "Suppression", over on D-Team's side. In the Healing Room. We actually get all three of them for once. 18:05. As I should have figured, since we still hadn't grabbed the very top of the "C-Team Executed at 13:30". Phi wonders if this isn't the first time they've woken up. Not vertically, though, but laterally. In other words, alternate histories. Matches in a drawer, and water and a note on top of the chest of drawers. Also a tumbler. A poster with a demon that says "Defeat Me". I pour water into a glass and pitcher as the note suggests, and find a dial. This changes the walls, and I play a game with flowers and pick up a knife. Back in the first iteration of the room, stabbing the poster changes the monitor, telling us to shoot more keys. We can see the pixel plate better after shutting down the room entirely, but we can't properly take note of what is clearly a very important hint. Oh, but we can light the candle. Hmm...shoot more keys. Piano keys! But how do we shoot them? The tumbler can be placed in the center of the pattern that appears in the forest section, but...now we have zero inventory items. I see a few things I can click, but none seem to do anything. The chairs with the odd pattern, the inconsistent part of the wall (which is inconsistent in the forest as well but we can only click it in the black-and-white segment)...the lit candle casts a pattern similar to the one that appears on the tumbler, which the game says looks like a key. So maybe my piano keys guess is wrong. Not that it matters when we have zero items.They don't comment on the candle holder being different in the forest. Damn, pixel hunts are hard enough when there's only one iteration of the room! ...Huh. That big device, if I click certain areas, it instead says that the cover is closed and there's a letter at the bottom. It goes from C to G and then back from A to C, unsurprisingly--one octave. So it's related to the piano. There's even a play button. I think they were wrong and I was right--it's talking about piano keys. But how do I do anything with the piano?
