Door of Fate first, of course; those Force Quit Boxes are likely our endgame so I want to save them whenever possible. Er, Door of Truth. I've been calling it the wrong thing. The door opens. They enter the Pod Room and open a pod, finding Eric's dead body...no, his live body. His head hurts. Diana asks how he got there, and he says he was going to ask the same thing--how did they get into Ward Q? Diana thinks that's not right. Sigma opens another, and finds Q, but...they don't remember him being there? And Eric seems to think that they wouldn't have met Q yet, either. Q doesn't recognize them. Eric introduces them to him as Diana and Sigma from D-Team. He recognizes the names and wonders how they got here. Sigma says he'll explain later and he wants to check the other pods. Q asks Eric what's going on, and he doesn't know. Next pod, body under a sheet. Mira's, still dead from strangulation. Okay, they got the forgetfulness drugs. More pods. The next one has a body and blood spatter. Akane's. Eric's still trying to revive Mira. Next pod has a bloody sheet as well. Diana faints...ah, it's Junpei. Still with his head severed, as it was when he wound up in the freezer. While she was out, they investigated the other pods. One was empty, but the other three...Sigma says Diana shouldn't look. She says she's calmed down, but Sigma says it's not about that. The truth is beyond comprehension. And then Eric says he's going to show her. Sigma tries to stop him. Sure enough, it's the headless bodies of D-Team. Diana knew it, though. That they'd transported into a timeline where they'd died. Diana tells Eric about the transporter. She reminds Sigma of the blood in the Healing Room, that these are their bodies from this history. Sigma realizes that they were executed by the 13:30 vote. Diana agrees. Sigma says it was all for nothing. They transported to find a history where Phi existed. Eric's back to his usual agitated demeanor. The static of the television...Akane and Carlos's duel, axe against chainsaw. Diana asks where Carlos is. The PA announces the current casualties. Akane, Junpei, Mira, Diana, Phi, Sigma. JUNE, JUMP, VIRGIN, BLUE, RED, MILK. Like I said, there's one in there that we'd never be able to input in timelines where we actually have to do so. Q, Sigma, and Diana head to the X-Door, expecting Carlos to beat them, but Eric's still in shock. They go to Ward D's Lounge, and find...Carlos. He reacts poorly to Q's presence, unsurprisingly. Sigma demands he drop the axe, and he says there's been a misunderstanding. He tosses the axe away. The one in Ward D is fried, too?! Bullet holes, same as Ward Q's. Eric, again. He vaguely remembers what happened before being put to sleep, so he knew about the shotgun. He says he has to shoot the one who did it. If whoever does it confesses, he'll spare the others, otherwise he'll shoot them all. He doesn't even believe that Diana and Sigma are the real Diana and Sigma, finding their explanation ridiculous. Carlos tries to get his attention. Eric turns on him, saying he admits it, and saying that they all saw the footage where he killed Akane. Carlos says it's true, he may have killed her. Eric's angry at him for saying "may", and Carlos said even if he did, it's not what he did right now. Eric asks what he's talking about, and Carlos admits that he doubts Eric would believe him if he explained it. Eric says to go ahead and try. Carlos says he shifted from another timeline. Sigma recognizes the word. Diana misunderstands and thinks he transported, too. Eric is sure that Carlos killed Junpei and Mira too. He denies involvement with both and points out that he was limited to the space in Ward C, and Mira was on Q-Team. Q points out they're in Ward D right now. Eric thinks there's a secret door, and Diana's not so sure. She asks Eric to shoot the wall with the shotgun. It shorts out. The entire room was projected. It's just a projection. There was only ever one ward. If you rotate the angles of the three wards...they fit together like a jigsaw puzzle.
