Tabori/Living Room/Day 2/15:19:59

Inside a closet in the abandoned house, Harumi Yomoda is awakened by the sound of conversation and laughter. She suppresses a scream of horror with her hands as she peers through the crack and discovers that the source of the voices is the happy Shibitofied Maeda family gathered in the Living room.

Harumi Sightjacks all of the Maeda family. Mr. Maeda, Mrs. Maeda and Tomoko Maeda. Watching the family’s patterns, Harumi tries to plan her escape. Mr. Maeda first stands up and prays to the Buddhist alter in the next room, then he enters the Parlor and has a cigarette, he then enters the toilet to urinate and then finally washes his hands before starting over. Mrs. Maeda first takes a walk of the ground floor of the house, and then she returns to the living room to watch static on the TV, she then unlocks the kitchen, looks at a key on the kitchen shelf and chops up a chopping board with a knife, finally she locks up the kitchen and stares at the front door for a few moments before starting over. Tomoko starts by drawing on the floor by the stairs, then she goes upstairs and draws on the floor on the landing, finally she unlocks her room and draws in a book on her desk for a while before locking her door and starting over. When Mr. Maeda is in the bathroom, Mrs. Maeda is in the kitchen and Tomoko is upstairs, Harumi sneaks into the kitchen and takes the key from off the shelf. Harumi then hides on the stairs and waits for Tomoko to enter her room. Harumi sneaks into Tomoko’s room and takes Tomoko’s Toy Monkey from off the floor. Harumi unlocks the door to the clothesline and exits onto the roof, climbing down some boxes and leaving the house. Harumi makes her way to the front gate but she is intercepted by the now Shibitofied Reiko Takato. Reiko calls out Harumi’s name as she chases the little girl around the house. After one complete lap of the houses grounds, Harumi finally escapes out of the front gate.

On a hospital bed, Yoriko Anno regains consciousness after being transfused with Kyoya’s blood, she looks up to see Shiro Miyata looking down at her.

Passing into Ward 1, Tamon heads through the Security office, past the Isolation rooms and into the 2nd floor men’s toilet where he attaches the hosepipe to a tap and hangs it out of the window. Tamon goes down to the 1st floor men’s toilet, pulls the hose in through the window and lowers it into a grate on the floor. Tamon then goes back upstairs and turns the tap, filling the grate with water, and revealing a key floating in the water. Tamon goes downstairs to retrieve the key for the 2nd floor of Ward 2; from there he heads upstairs, unlocking Ward 2. After defeating some more Crawlers Tamon enters the Directors office and takes a Record player needle from a broken record player. Tamon then enters the Reference library and finds a very old photo of Hisako Yao in an old album dated 1967, proving that she hasn’t aged a day in years.

Taking Yoriko with him, Kyoya heads up some stairs and shoots out a Shibito in the garden of Rokkaku’s house, Kyoya then proceeds to take out a Sniper guarding the area outside the Cafeteria with his Revolver. Moving on through the Cafeteria, Kyoya and Yoriko move round the back of the Rice Shop, taking out another Shibito and picking up a Folding saw. Heading down the alley in-between the Cafeteria and the Rice shop, Kyoya shoots out some more Shibito and Sightjacks a Sniper watching over the area, and when his back is turned, Kyoya and Yoriko run to a nearby ladder.

The Nest/Level 1/Day 3/00:14:26

Harumi Yomoda keeps plodding along the path, covering her ears with her hands to prevent herself from listening to the Sirens. Spotting a sobbing villager by the roadside Harumi drops her guard and approaches her. But without warning the villager turns to reveal herself as a Shibito, and starts cackling insanely, causing Harumi to run away.

Harumi runs past a Shibito hammering the wall and hides behind some trashcans until the Shibito turns to work on a table. Harumi runs past him and crawls through a hole to the Hayashi residence and passes the house by its left side to another hole, which she crawls through. On the other side, Harumi enters the Kondo residence and unlocks the back door, leaving the house, Harumi moves round the right hand side of the house and craws through another hole. Harumi ends up at a house that has been near enough knocked down; Harumi enters and finds an old toy from the 70s called “Bag o’ laughs”. Harumi activates the toy and the laughter distracts a Shibito nearby, allowing Harumi to escape the house and crawl through another passageway. Harumi emerges at the Chibiki Bridge and is chased by a Crawler down to a smaller wooden bridge underneath Chibiki Bridge, where the wood breaks and washes the Crawler downstream on a small red water river. Without bother Harumi proceeds through the next hole. On the other side of the hole Harumi enters another house and Sightjacks Eiji Nagoshi who blocks her path. Harumi then takes the batteries out of the Toy Monkey she took from Tomoko Maeda and puts them in an alarm clock. Setting the alarm for 1 minute later, Harumi kills her flashlight and hides under some stairs leading to the house. After one minute is up the alarm starts blaring and Eiji Nagoshi runs down to the house and Harumi retraces his steps to the Sanja Bridge, crawls through one last hole and arrives at the Central Crossroads. Harumi collapses in fatigue.

As Kyoya Suda dreams, he and Miyako sit next to each other in a vibrant green grass field, with a beautiful blue sky overhead. Miyako proceeds to tell Kyoya that when she first met him, the light she saw around him was totally different from the light around the other villagers, more warm and caring. As Kyoya asks what Miyako means, she wishes for the Hanuda and all of its villagers to disappear. Suddenly, Miyako vanishes and the blue sky turns a stormy, pitch black.

The Nest/Near Level 4/Day 3/03:03:27

Tamon Takeuchi regains consciousness in the depths of the Nest, repulsed to find himself revived by the red water he notices Kyoya Suda and Kei Makino have revived also. Tamon tells Kyoya that they must stop Hisako soon before it’s too late. Kyoya attempts to help Kei to his feet, but the spiritual leader simply falls down again in a deranged state, muttering to himself. As Kyoya and Tamon continue on their way they are dismayed to find that they have lost all their equipment while they were unconscious. Kyoya feels bad about leaving Kei behind, but Tamon tells him there’s no time to worry and if their to have a chance they should split up.

Tamon starts off at a Clothes shop and picks up a nearby flashlight. Sightjacking a nearby Shibito, Tamon copies the phone number of the bar it is looking at and then dials it on the Clothes shop phone. The ringing phone in the bar around the corner alerts a revolver Shibito guarding the street, as he goes in to answer it Tamon runs down the street and jumps over a wall to the Hayashi residence, heading down the left side of the house, Tamon finds a Steel Pipe to use as a weapon. Climbing up another wall and down a ladder on the other side, Tamon enters the Kondo residence via the unlocked back door. Inside Tamon Sightjacks a revolver Shibito blocking his path outside, so Tamon attaches his Record player needle to a Record player in the living room and plays a record. Tamon hides out the back until the revolver Shibito enters the living room to investigate. Tamon runs past the revolver Shibito, up the wall he was guarding and follows the path to the power transformer that supplies power to the Factory that leads to the Nests core; however Tamon is cornered by a Sniper Shibito, so Tamon has no choice but to hide and wait.

Kyoya meanwhile has made his way to the Ohyama Demolition Services workshop where he obtains a floor jack that he uses to jack up an abandoned van nearby, Kyoya crawls under the van to arrive at the Chibiki Bridge. After crossing the Bridge, Kyoya is chased up a ledge by a Crawler to a small cemetery where he finds a Hunting Rife on a gravestone. After shooting out the Crawler, Kyoya climbs up a wall into a long corridor that ends up at some stairs where after shooting out some more Crawlers, Kyoya runs down one last hallway, where he ends up at the Factory that leads into the Nest’s core. Unfortunately it is guarded by countless Snipers and Crawlers.

Meanwhile the Sniper guarding the Transformer has left his post, stealing the opportunity, Tamon races over and smashes the Transformer with his Steel Pipe, plunging the Factory into total darkness.

In his head Kyoya hears Miyako telling him to run and to use her eyesight to get past the Shibito. Using the power of Miyako’s sight, Kyoya dodges past the evil lights emanating from the Shibito and enters the Nest’s core.

The Nest/Intersection/Day 3/07:42:44

Harumi is awakened suddenly by an approaching person, fearful Harumi crawls through a hole in the wall and escapes. Kei Makino appears out of the darkness and stops when a beam of light, belonging to Shiro Miyata’s flashlight hits him. Kei then admits to Shiro that he has been nothing but a pathetic coward and fool and how if things had been different the incident may not have happened. Shiro then states that he has served his purpose and raises a Revolver to his head. However after Shiro drops his flashlight to the ground, plunging the area into darkness, Shiro adjusts his aim and shoots Kei dead instead.

The Nest/Level 2/Day 3/09:48:21

Harayadori/Yabay Settlement/Day 3/12:21:08

After leaving the Nest Shiro Miyata, now dressed as his deceased twin brother Kei Makino, makes his way to the abandoned village. Now completely deaf to sound of the Sirens, Shiro appears resolute with a Revolver grasped firmly in his hand.

Shiro backtracks to the Storage Shed and onto the roof of Kawasaki’s house, where Shiro faces off with many different Shibito, including Akira Shimura, who has further mutated into a Flying Shibito. With most of the Shibito out of the way, Shiro jumps off the roof and heads down past Nakajima’s house and to the drained well. Shiro ties a coil of rope he took from Kei’s corpse around the wooden frame of the well and climbs down to a secret storage room at the bottom of the well. After shooting out a Shibito guarding some wooden crates, Shiro opens the crates to find a stash of powerful explosive grenades, perfect for his plan.

As Shiro manages to smile for the last time he slowly walks forward, falls into the pit and with his job done he is finally at peace.

The Nest/Mirror Pool/Day 3/20:57:55

After recovering from the red water tidal wave, Tamon struggles to maintain his sense of self, in the half-destroyed Nest as he experiences the effects of mutation. From out of the darkness, 2 very familiar old voices call Tamon’s name, as he blindly makes his way to the source of the voices.

Tamon makes his way into a clearing but comes face to face with the Shibitofied Naoko Mihama who has further mutated into a powerful Crawler. Despite his flashlight being broken Tamon beats down Naoko before climbing over a wall and running past a Scrap material yard. Tamon then runs into more bad news as he comes across the Shibitofied Reiko Takato who has further Mutated into a Shibito Brain. After defeating Reiko, Tamon takes a Cassette tape she drops and returns to the Scrap material yard. Tamon heads to the top floor of the Scrap material yard and shoves a large neon sign down, off the side of the building and through the floor. Tamon heads downstairs, drops through the hole and follows the path to a ladder at the base of the Sanja Bridge. Tamon Sightjacks a Sniper at the end of the bridge and when his back is turned, Tamon climbs the ladder and unravels the tape from the Cassette he took from Reiko, he ties one end of the tape round the sign, and with the other half, Tamon descends the ladder and tugs it, pulling the sign over. The noise of the sign causes the Sniper to approach it to investigate. With the Sniper distracted, Tamon climbs the ladder on the other side of the bridge, climbs a ledge, goes through a door, and climbs a path to exit the Nest.

The fourth and final round next.

I'll Kill Ya :-)
