### Bloodstain

* 2/13: The Expense of Spirit, during the 12:10 AM VR investigation segment:
	1. **Mizuki:** I see some bloodstains...
	 **Aiba:** (It appears that much time has passed. Years, at least.)
	 **Aiba:** (And footprints in the blood...)
	2. *It's an old bloodstain. There are footprints as well.*
* 2/13: The Expense of Spirit, during the 12:55 AM investigation segment:
	1. **Mizuki:** (Bloodstains...)
	 **Mizuki:** (Looks like some old and some new.)
	 **Aiba:** (Correct. These stains also must have come from multiple sources.)
	 **Aiba:** (It is safe to say that one source is Tokiko.)
	 **Aiba:** (I cannot yet tell who the other sources were. That will require a thorough inspection.)
	2. *There are bloodstains all over...from multiple people...*

### ?/Tooth

* 2/13: The Expense of Spirit, during the 12:10 AM VR investigation segment:
	1. *It's so dark, it's hard to see...*
* 2/13: The Expense of Spirit, during the 12:10 AM VR investigation segment (with night vision):
	1. **Mizuki:** Is this...a tooth?
	 **Aiba:** (It is the first molar of the upper jaw.)
	 **Aiba:** (It does not appear as though it was pulled out with any instruments.)
	 **Aiba:** (There are no marks on the tooth's enamel.)
	 **Mizuki:** Then how...?
	 **Aiba:** (Perhaps the owner of this tooth was punched in the face...)
	 **Mizuki:** Whose tooth is it?
	 **Aiba:** (Unknown.)
	 **Aiba:** (Let us call this person "T" for now...)
	 **Aiba:** ("T" for tooth, of course.)
	2. *"T's" tooth is on the ground. It's the first molar on the upper jaw.*

### Door (Entrance)

* 2/13: The Expense of Spirit, during the 12:10 AM VR investigation segment:
	1. **Mizuki:** It's the door we came from.
	 **Aiba:** (Right.)
	2. *It's the door we came from.*

### Metal Plate A

* 2/13: The Expense of Spirit, during the 12:10 AM VR investigation segment:
	1. **Mizuki:** There's an iron plate above the door... What's that doing here?
	 **Aiba:** (Perhaps some sort of shutter?)
	 **Aiba:** (If that plate came down, the door would not be able to be opened.)
	 **Mizuki:** Hmmm...
	2. *An iron plate above the door.*
* 2/13: The Expense of Spirit, during the 12:55 AM investigation segment:
	1. **Mizuki:** The door we came from is covered up...
	 **Lien:** Hey, what are we gonna do? How are we getting out?!
	 **Mizuki:** Can't you open it, Lien?
	 **Lien:** Of course I can't! There's no lock to pick on this!
	 **Mizuki:** Ah. Too bad.
	 **Lien:** What?! Are we gonna die here...?
	 **Lien:** No! No, no, no! I haven't married my Kizzy yet!
	 **Aiba:** (Does he think getting out of here will improve his odds...?)
	2. *The door we came from is being covered by an iron plate.*

### Metal Plate B

* 2/13: The Expense of Spirit, during the 12:10 AM VR investigation segment (before using X-ray):
	1. *It's an iron plate... There might be something on the other side...*
* 2/13: The Expense of Spirit, during the 12:10 AM VR investigation segment (with X-ray):
	1. **Mizuki:** There's a door on the other side of the plate!
	 **Aiba:** (And perhaps a hidden secret beyond it...)
	2. *There's a door on the other side of the iron plate.*
* 2/13: The Expense of Spirit, during the 12:10 AM VR investigation segment (after having used X-ray):
	1. *There's a door past the plate!*

### Power Switch

* 2/13: The Expense of Spirit, during the 12:10 AM VR investigation segment:
	1. **Mizuki:** It's a power switch. It was on when we came in.
	 **Aiba:** (Is it a light switch...?)
	 **Mizuki:** It looks a little big to be a light switch...
	 **Aiba:** (Perhaps it powers the entire room.)
	 **Mizuki:** Could be...
	 **Aiba:** (Mizuki, there is a power line that leads to it from above.)
	 **Aiba:** (Follow the X-ray.)
	2. *Aiba thinks it might be the power switch for the whole room.*
* 2/13: The Expense of Spirit, during the 12:10 AM VR investigation segment (with X-ray):
	1. *A power button... There's a power line that leads up to the ceiling.*
* 2/13: The Expense of Spirit, during the 12:10 AM VR investigation segment (after having used X-ray):
	1. *Looking at it with the X-ray shows that there's a power line that leads up to the ceiling.*

### Ceiling Power Cables

* 2/13: The Expense of Spirit, during the 12:10 AM VR investigation segment (with X-ray):
	1. **Aiba:** (A power switch and an electrical line leading away from it.)
	 **Aiba:** (The line splits in two.)
	 **Mizuki:** Let's follow both...
	2. *The power line in the ceiling splits in two.*

### Suspicious Area/Hidden Switch

* 2/13: The Expense of Spirit, during the 12:10 AM VR investigation segment (with X-ray):
	1. **Aiba:** (There is something in this wall.)
	 **Aiba:** (Is it a switch?)
	 **Mizuki:** Yeah, by pressing this part here, it turns on.
	 **Aiba:** (A hidden switch.)
	 **Mizuki:** What happens if I press it?
	 **Aiba:** (It looks as though it powers a different area.)
	2. *There's a hidden switch in the wall.*

### Wall Power Cables

* 2/13: The Expense of Spirit, during the 12:10 AM VR investigation segment (with X-ray):
	1. **Mizuki:** The power line in the ceiling leads to the other side of this wall.
	 **Aiba:** (And if you follow it further?)
	2. *The power line goes beyond the wall. Following it further...*

### Square Hole/Foot Switch

* 2/13: The Expense of Spirit, during the 12:10 AM VR investigation segment:
	1. **Mizuki:** There's a square hole here.
	 **Aiba:** (It is a foot switch.)
	 **Aiba:** (Similar to those used at hospitals to open emergency doors.)
	 **Aiba:** (You can use your foot to trip the switch, leaving your hands free.)
	 **Aiba:** (But it does not appear to be powered currently.)
	 **Mizuki:** If I wanna use this switch, I've gotta feed it some power first.
	 **Aiba:** (And one more thing. There are footprints around the switch as well.)
	 **Aiba:** (The same prints from the bloodstains.)
	 **Aiba:** (These prints are also old. Likely many years.)
	2. *A foot switch. It's not powered right now, so it won't work.*
	*Bloody footprints nearby...*

### Exhaust Duct

* 2/13: The Expense of Spirit, during the 12:10 AM VR investigation segment:
	1. *The exhaust ducts stretch from wall to wall.*
	 **Mizuki:** This is the direction we came from.
	 **Mizuki:** So there must be something past this wall too.
	 **Aiba:** (Some kind of space that would need air to be exhausted.)
	 **Mizuki:** A room...for what?
	2. *An exhaust duct...*

### Vent

* 2/13: The Expense of Spirit, during the 12:10 AM VR investigation segment:
	1. *It's a vent....*
	 **Mizuki:** I wonder if the air is being ventilated properly... It's stale in here.
	 **Aiba:** (We are underground. The air flow is likely quite poor.)
	 **Mizuki:** No, that's not it...
	 **Mizuki:** I don't know how to explain it...
	 **Mizuki:** But there's bad air down here...
	2. *A vent...*

### Corpse

* 2/13: The Expense of Spirit, during the 12:55 AM investigation segment:
	1. **Aiba:** (Her estimated time of death is 19:00, yesterday...)
	 **Aiba:** (Yesterday meaning the 12th.)
	 **Aiba:** (It is currently 1:00AM on the 13th.)
	 **Mizuki:** (So roughly six hours ago...)
	 **Aiba:** (Hm...)
	 **Aiba:** (But why...?)
	2. **Aiba:** (Mizuki, look at her wrist...)
	 **Mizuki:** (Slit wrists...)
	 **Aiba:** (I do not believe this was self-inflicted.)
	 **Aiba:** (The cut is deep.)
	 **Aiba:** (But there are scars as well. Perhaps she did try to take her own life in the past...)
	 **Mizuki:** (...)
	3. *The estimated time of death is about six hours ago. She has cuts on her wrists.*

### Circular Machine/Slicer

* 2/13: The Expense of Spirit, during the 12:55 AM investigation segment:
	1. **Aiba:** (This does solve one big mystery.)
	 **Mizuki:** (What?)
	 **Aiba:** (All of the victims of the HB case were cut at the molecular level.)
	 **Aiba:** (Those cuts were likely performed by this machine.)
	 **Mizuki:** (So this is some kind of slicer?)
	 **Aiba:** (Exactly.)
	 **Aiba:** (Do you see that wire on top of the machine?)
	 **Aiba:** (That is CNT... A braided carbon nanotube.)
	 **Aiba:** (The diameter is about 0.4 nanometers...)
	 **Aiba:** (A single nanometer is one billionth of one meter, so it is not visible to the naked eye.)
	 **Mizuki:** (But I can see it...)
	 **Aiba:** (That is because I am modifying your vision.)
	 **Aiba:** (I am emphasizing it on purpose for your benefit.)
	 **Mizuki:** (So you're saying...)
	 **Mizuki:** (That carbon nanotube was used to bisect all the victims...?)
	 **Aiba:** (That is highly probable.)
	 **Mizuki:** (So all the murders took place...)
	 **Aiba:** (Here, most likely.)
	 **Aiba:** (Including Tokiko.)
	 **Mizuki:** (But...)
	 **Mizuki:** (Why are there two machines?)
	 **Aiba:** (Well...)
	 **Aiba:** (Unknown.)
	2. *It's a carbon nanotube slicer. This might have been used for all of the HB case murders.*

### Other Machine

* 2/13: The Expense of Spirit, during the 12:55 AM investigation segment:
	1. **Mizuki:** (Why are there two of the same machine?)
	 **Aiba:** (They do not serve different functions.)
	 **Aiba:** (They both look to be exactly the same.)
	 **Mizuki:** (Hm...)
	2. *Nobody here.*

### Door (Exit)

* 2/13: The Expense of Spirit, during the 12:55 AM investigation segment:
	1. **Mizuki:** That's the door that was being covered by the iron plate...
	 **Lien:** You're not gonna open that, are you...?
	 **Mizuki:** Yeah.
	 **Mizuki:** But we gotta look around more first.
	 **Lien:** ...
	2. *It's a door... What's on the other side...?*
