* "Against all odds, this solution created mutations in the infected crows instead of curing them."
* "Some subjects managed to escape by breaking the bars of their cage!"
* "God only knows where they are now... I hope their condition has stabilized now."
==== Solution ====
When examined the Beheaded notes:
* "Another failed cure..."
* "How many crows drank this solution?"

* "Those crows give me the creeps!"

The Alchemist leaves the following on his research notebook:
* "I hope looking at the stars will allow me to greatly advance my research..." 
* "Bodies always act different during a full moon."
==== Notes on the wall ====
When examined the Beheaded notes:
* "Some weird sketches... Planets, stars, constellations."
* "The Alchemist really went down every path to find a cure."
The Beheaded then nods repeatedly and offers a thumbs up before exclaiming:
* "How selfless of him!"
==== Cell vat ====

* "The body bathes in moonlight..."
* "... It does feel good, this light, when the moonlight is reflected off wisps of fog."
