Trivia[]
- This is the first Abnormality that can trigger another effect when an employee suffers certain amount of damage.
- This Tool Abnormality is classified under ’Trauma’ as it contains the written thoughts of a person who descended into incoherent insanity during experimentation and research that directly involved Lobotomy Corporation itself in particular.
- The nature of both the researcher's subject matter and the final chapter ending in the words 'born again' specifically appear to nod towards the early past of Lobotomy Corporation.
