Breathe…Breathe…
*Cough* Okay, I'm alive again.
At the time of writing this, I can say with some confidence that this story is pretty much done. I've nearly completed the writing of the last chapter and I have about 50% of the chapter after that sitting around somewhere. So this story will be finished. In case any of you were concerned about that.
This next chapter will get back into some of the dark and depressing content that was common in the earlier parts of the story. Beware of that. I mean it.
Anyhow, with this chapter things will be a bit messier. As in death count wise. And I'm talking about primary cast. Not redshirts like the majority of the people who died in the last chapter.
Also very important read this before continuing: I've done a slight rewrite of the last solution report. It's mainly towards the end of it. I would advise going back and reading a part of it before continuing.
So…Without any further delay, here, have this thing.

In closing, I would like to bring to the table the details of a certain final tale – the one that I as a human being certainly cannot ever be aware of. Yes, I am talking about the Everyone Lives Chapter.
In this story, all sorts of twisted and demonic things begin to happen, even though no single character appears to have died at any point in the story – all that is mentioned from the perspective of Ryuugu Rena, in this, the only story she holds any prominence in, is that people have been injured, but not killed. Rena claims to be caring for her stepmother, but in fact is simply holding her hostage. Rena takes note of a strange lack of people, but the lack of people isn't strange at all.
Her syndrome as described by this story is her inability to cope with reality.
And this, coupled with the diary that is found by Satoshi in the classroom certainly pertains to the user defined truth on a serious level –
Indeed. It was all a ruse. It was all fake. It was all insanity – but it wasn't insanity at all. It was all simply a hoax. A hoax that an emotionally collapsing girl generated willingly to survive for as long as she could.
Then we come to Keichi's half of the story. Keichi is still as guilty as ever, although we see a far more helpless variant of him in this tale. In fact, this Keichi is almost completely different from any Keichi you've seen prior to now. And yet this is the most prominent of the dreams.
Why is this? Because this is not Keichi.
This is Keiichi we are being introduced to here. We are being introduced to a Keiichi who lives out of fear and has yet to sin. And this Keiichi is fundamentally different from Keichi in that singular sense. That is why the Unreliable Narrator showed him this tale. For this tale, while woven in such a way that the revealed truth clashes with it significantly, the establishment of Keiichi under the guise of Keichi was essentially only to the End Dreamer. Because he needed that tale to establish the reality of everything.
But really, what is all of this single 'I' nonsense really about? I'm certain you'll find out soon enough.
The segment with Mion in itself is simply more hopelessness to add to the situation. There is nothing relevant about it. Or at least I didn't seem to think so.
But the Unreliable Narrator – she reveals herself more fully in this tale. Certainly there must be truth hidden in her words, even if they are unreliable by nature.
That is all. There is nothing more I can draw from this tale. But if there is more, then perhaps there is a deeper meaning to it all.
But I have a feeling that such a deeper meaning might not be worth the effort it takes to find it.
