Phase VI

Ruka comes to the door of Room 308, 'Mizuki', where she used to stay, but finds it locked and inaccessible.

Raising the camera to photograph the door rewards the clue image Five Organs (Five Maidens).

Looking to the left, the Ghost: Man Heading to the Gallery appears. Following him, Ruka enters the Gallery 'Gensho'.

On the furthest wall, she discovers a faintly glowing painting. Photographing it yields the image Erased Face, and she picks up the Mizuki Key that fell from behind the frame.

Turning to leave, she discovers the corridor door is locked! At that moment, she sees the ghost of Yuromitsu Magaki step through a side door and follows into Room 309, 'Irodorizuki'.

In the center of the room, she witnesses the Ghost: Man Painting on the Floor.

Eerie painting of a woman in red

Approaching, it is an eerie painting depicting a woman in red. On the small table to the right, she retrieves the file Magaki's Creative Notes 1.

Nearing the spot where the ghost was painting, the Ghost: Crawling Man suddenly appears on the floor.

Leaving the studio and returning to the corridor, she uses the newly acquired Mizuki Key to unlock the sealed door and enters Room 308, 'Mizuki'.

Stepping inside, fragments of childhood memories of struggling in agony on the bed flood her mind.

Memory of struggling in agony on the bed during childhood

In the left bookshelf, she retrieves the recording Tape 'Consultation Record: Ruka Yomotsuki'.

Heading toward the piano, she spots the Ghost: Girl Playing Piano.

Investigating the bed rewards the file Ruka's Diary 1.

As she prepares to leave, a faint music box melody echoes from somewhere.
Investigating the music box in the cabinet left of the piano reveals a missing gear. Photographing it yields the image Cradle, suggesting the gear is inside the cradle.

Leaving the room, she walks right into adjacent Room 310, 'Kamisari' (Misaki's room).

In the cradle by the bed, she successfully retrieves the Small Gear. As she prepares to leave, Ghost: Shoji Katagiri appears to attack.

After defeating him, she returns to Room 308, 'Mizuki', with her prize.

Installing the small gear back into the music box and adjusting its position restores its function.

Ruka finds the music box melody strangely familiar, so she steps to the adjacent piano to try playing it.

As her fingertips strike the correct notes, she recalls warm moments learning piano from her mother. Immersed in the melody, Ruka's consciousness slips into the depths of memory, returning to the Yomotsuki Residence.

Ruka's consciousness returns to her childhood home, waking up in her own room.

Retrieving the file Ruka's Diary 2 on the nightstand, she exits the room into the corridor.

Turning the corner, she catches a glimpse of someone's back entering a room. Following it into her mother Sayaka's room, she witnesses Ghost: Sayaka Looking Down at the Courtyard.

Investigating where Sayaka stood rewards the file Sayaka's Diary 1; near the head of the bed, she finds Sayaka's Diary 2.

Returning to the corridor, she proceeds downstairs to the first floor. Reaching the end, she opens the left door to enter the Altar Room.

Going deeper, through the left window, she can see the Ghost: Girl Gazing at the Moon outside.

On the small wooden table in the center of the room lies a Photo of Man and Mask. Picking it up, her father's focused silhouette crafting masks vividly appears in her mind...

Consciousness is abruptly pulled back to reality.

Consciousness returns to reality

Moving just a few steps forward, she spots the Ghost: Sayaka Sitting on a Chair by the bedside.

On the floor where she sat, Choshiro finds the Small Cherry Blossom Key and discovers a small wooden box underneath the bed.

From the small wooden box, she retrieves the file Ruka's Diary 3 and the Kanade Mask (Mask of the奏者).

Staring at the Kanade Mask in her hand, Ruka recalls the terrifying memory of being forced to wear this mask during the Kagura festival in the past...

Leaving the room and returning to the corridor, turning left at the corner reveals the Ghost: Patient's Spirit with Head Bowed out the window.

At the central reception window, she retrieves the file Nurse's Notes.

The moment she finishes reading, the Ghost: Nurse Standing in the Office suddenly appears inside the reception desk area.

Investigating the cabinet inside the desk rewards the file Sayaka's Diary 3. Unlocking the diary with the Small Cherry Blossom Key reveals that Sayaka discovered everything strange was deeply connected to Shigeto Haibara and Ruka's father...

Taking the elevator from the third floor back to the first floor. As the elevator doors open, the terrifyingly tall female spirit encountered elsewhere suddenly charges out from the corridor on the upper right!

Terrifying female spirit charging forward

Be sure to run quickly to the dining room on the left to hide, and return to the elevator lobby once the crisis passes to proceed down the corridor where she appeared.

Walking past the corner, she finds a tightly sealed gate on the right, which is confirmed locked. Photographing it yields the clue image Hole Under the Floor, deducing that it connects to the basement switch room.

Continuing forward, opening the door ahead, turning left into the courtyard, and taking the underground passage down to B1F. On the path to the switch room, she encounters Ghost: Wandering Woman. Following her leads into the switch room.

Investigating the dark opening beneath the central floor yields the Long Iron Key. Upon standing up, she sees the Ghost: On-Duty Nurse sitting at the corner desk.

As she approaches the corner desk to investigate, she is suddenly ambushed from behind by Ghost: Shie Onosaki.

After winning the battle, she retrieves the file On-Duty Nurse's Journal 1 from the desk, then leaves through the other door to the Purification Path.

Reaching the door at the end of the path, she is blocked by the powerful spirit Ghost: Takahisa Kamizuki.

After defeating him, she returns to the first-floor corridor and uses the Long Iron Key to unlock the sealed gate, leading to the Connecting Passage.

Proceeding along the passage, she is ambushed midway by Ghost: Yuzo Takemura.

Reaching the end, she officially enters the second-floor lobby of Haibara Infirmary.

Entering the nurse's room on the left leads to the old general ward.

Returning to the lobby and going down to the first floor, entering the elevator next to the stairs reveals the Ghost: Girl Sitting in the Elevator.

Activating the elevator to descend to B2F.
While descending, raising the camera toward the elevator doors captures the Ghost: Man Waiting for the Elevator right as it passes B1F.

Arriving at B2F, she walks forward to the ritual site. Images of being kidnapped here years ago flash through Ruka's mind; the air carries a nostalgic yet hair-raising scent—what is this familiar smell...

The ritual site filled with an eerie presence

Ruka found a music box in her ward, and its familiar melody awakened her teenage memories—times spent at the Yomotsuki Residence with her father Soya, a mask maker, and her mother Sayaka. Yet, her father's face in these memories remains completely blurred, unrecallable...

Ruka snaps out of it, shocked to see the Kanade Mask, crafted by her father's own hands, materializing out of thin air before her eyes. During the spirit-away incident years ago, the kidnapper had forced this very mask onto young Ruka.

In Sayaka's diary, she documented her suspicions of her husband Soya—that he seemed to plan to use the young girls for a forbidden ritual and was even involved in a string of crimes.

Ruka finally understands why her mother was determined to separate from her father back then and fled the island with her. As she steps once again into this basement of Haibara Infirmary, once a place of kidnapping and confinement, an inexplicably intense sense of familiarity silently speaks of a forgotten dread...
