02:33. The game is over, so there's no more reason to make them sleep. Diana wonders if Akane will come back. She asks Sigma if they want to try turning on the transporter again, but Sigma's certain it won't work. It'll take 10 months to recharge. There's plenty of food available. If they eat frugally, it'll last them 9-10 months--and yes, Sigma confirms, he took Gab's needs into account when calculating that. They head to the Manufacturing Room...there's no balls in the bomb now! It's empty. It's been disarmed. Cut to Sigma telling Diana to eat, and she says she's not hungry. Cut to the incinerator room. Diana's been coming there a lot, trying to remember. Remember Phi. She still has Phi's brooch...That's the word! So it's the six, not the nine. Yes, they've called it that before. Brooch. Cut to Diana banging on the X-door, calling out to Zero to let them out. Over to the locker room, shower running. And relaxing in the healing room. It's been two weeks. Sigma's been marking the wall. Diana says it's so peaceful. There's no war here, no murder, no innocent children being abducted. Sigma says it's still going on in the outside world, but Diana says that's why it's peaceful. They don't have to know about it. Ha, Diana's fallen victim to "social media depression". Ah, and now she's got out a music box with Maeterlinck's "The Blue Bird". Diana feels like this is similar. "Happiness is closer than you think". Sigma believes Diana's interpretation was wrong, because the bird flies away. "Happiness will slip through your fingers the moment you believe you have it." It implies that the process of dreaming is true happiness. Diana says Sigma just ruined her dream then. Sigma apologizes, and Diana asks if he'll disappear, too. Cut again to Sigma trying to get her to eat...it's basically glorified dog food. It's been a month now. Sigma wonders if Akane's forgotten; that the bracelet was still on, and she's been made to forget. Diana believes that Akane did this intentionally. Murdered Carlos and Junpei; manipulated Carlos into voting for Q-Team... Diana's going crazy because of the sameness of it all. Day after day. She says it's all Rebecca's fault. We heard that name before. The head nurse who suggested Diana join the experiment. Sigma says Diana had another reason, though. She's single now, but she's been married before. An abusive spouse, alcoholic. He screwed up at work and garnered a large debt. He'd seemed serious and kind while they dated, but no more. He drank to his eyeballs and laughed as he beat her. So she left him, but he persisted in following her around, asking her for money and sex, and beat her if she didn't comply. One time he came by her work and made a scene, flipping the table in the cafeteria. And every time, he'd end with "I love you. I love you so much, Diana", and he'd weep. And she always caved. So she secluded herself to escape him. That's why Rebecca brought it up. Diana wonders why Sigma knew that. He asks if she'd believe him if he said he heard it from her. Another cut. She's been drinking heavily. Sigma tries to cut her off. It's been 1.5 months now. Diana wonders how Sigma can be so calm. He says he has experience with this sort of thing. He breaks the bottle. She tries to drink the spilled alcohol right off the floor, then tries to play it off like it was a joke. She's clearly drunk. Then she asks Sigma to sleep with her. I can't tell at first which meaning she means, but it becomes clear that she does mean it sexually. She calls him a coward, says he doesn't have the balls. Then she says if he won't do that, he should just kill her. She'd rather die now than wait to waste away. She heads back to the transporter and breaks down crying again. Sigma apologizes for everything. He could see how she was feeling, but he couldn't offer help. He didn't want to get too close to her, afraid something would shatter. She said the shelter was peaceful, that happiness could be found there, but in reality, he was the one who believed that.
