Fluctuation Hotspots

The hotspots are known locations that Louise have recorded quantum fluctuation from the double slit experiment.
There are at least 5 known locations according to a map that Louise used to keep track of these hotspots.
They all have 1 common point for each of these locations and that is it is or was a concentration of The Ruling victims.
* Mondragon Hospital
** The Ruling victims are transferred to many hospitals, once the highways open, overcrowding them.
** This is where Sofia's grandmother stay at and where Sofia goes to visit her.
* Hillstop Cafe
** This used to be a spot where the Ruling Victims gathered and volunteers and the cafe owners used to provide shelter and aid to the victims.
* Bagong Tahanan
** This is a new village to house Ruling victims who lost their homes.
** This is where Jessica lives.
* Mokal Refugee Center [Double check the name]
** One of the many refugee centers that hold Ruling Victims until the highways opened or the victims managed to get out of the area.
** This is where Nicole and Kate used to stay at during the Ruling. [Double check if true]
* Lnsing Pacoling [Double check the name]
** Currently unknown what location this is
** Could also not be a hotspot given what the image shows.
There are also other areas that shown fluctuation, such as:
* The road outside of Liamson High School Gymnasium
* Mark's room
* Nicole's hometown
* The Corpuz residence
* And potentially other areas as the quantum fluctuation gets worse
== Disappearances ==
These hotspots or areas where fluctuation can occur can cause other people to disappear from reality.
Known disappearances was Jessica, Ryan, Polly (Louise's chess opponent), Cath and many more.
There is no definite answer as to where the people disappear to. Some fan theories suggest they gone to the true timeline given the player's viewpoint over Mark's and Louise's 'dreams' or 'visions' when they also phase in and out of the current timeline they are in.
But what is known is that once someone has disappear, there is no explanation as to why or any leads to what happen to them.
There was a theory by Mark and Louise in Act 1, where they believe if someone is not with another person while it is raining, then it is possible that that unobserved person will disappear. This theory was proven false and a red herring.
== Relation to Fixing the Quantum Timelines ==
These hotspots have some correlation to the quantum timelines and the ruling. Initially when Mark and Nicole met and make direct eye contact, they enter another dimension that contains condensed memories from all the timelines mixed together. After a period of staying in that dimension and experiencing the memories there, both Mark and Nicole transfer to another timeline where the ruling effects are much worse, but some slight positive changes on some people's relationship.
* Cath and her brother, Andrew are getting along
* Ridel becoming more present and there for his friends
* Paolo Borja, Mark's dad, accepting that his wife is gone and making sure he is there for his son
In later hotspots where Mark and Nicole meet up to fix it, a storm of wind and potentially quantum energy occurs when they attempt to make direct eye contact, making it more difficult for Mark and Nicole to maintain direct eye contact.

== Trivia ==
* At the end of Act 1, when adult Mark is looking through a box full of childhood memories and chance upon a photo of him and Louise at prom night, Mark mentioned that the disappearances and such stopped after that night and life went on normal.
