Video: I Miss You
This video covers the entire update. Please watch it.



...Hmmm... Ulg... Huh...?



Naomi sits up.



Oof...
Rrk...rrnnnng... ... ...Ah!



Whoa... Are we...?



Big brother!
Yuka!
We really made it...
Yuki... Thank you so much...



...the five of us who survived the ordeal...were able to return to Kisaragi Academy. To the real world, in our own time. For a while, we were all just so happy to be home, and to be alive...we were overjoyed. But it didn't take long before the grim reality of what happened wiped the smiles off our faces.



They weren't with us anymore.





I will.
Goodbye...
Later.
Wait. Before you all go...
Hmm?



Okay.



...but I wound up sleeping like a rock. The next morning, it was with heavy hearts...that we all trudged toward a school without Ms. Yui and the others. Yet fate still had one more sick twist in store for us...





Student B: Our homeroom T.A.'s name is Matsudo. You still half-asleep or something?
Student C: A transfer student? Are we getting someone new?

Music: End of Chapter



(It was like...)



No... This isn't right! How can no one else remember any of them?! All those times we spent with Seiko and the others... Am I just supposed to accept that none of that really happened?!
Ms. Yui... Suzumoto... Morishige and Shinohara...
Are you telling me they only exist in our memories now?! That's just beyond cruel!
*sob*



(...Heavenly Host Elementary School stands firm, with a newly-appointed Sachiko at its core. There are those precious few who survived...those who lost their lives...and those who were overcome by the dark curses therein... And among them all are the spirits of those who were wronged, bearing an unimaginable pain and endlessly searching for respite from their sadness.)






Music: None







Sorry to call you in here like this, Satoshi.
Oh, it's not a problem at all. What's up?
There's...something I want you to see.



Huh? isn't that...?



Yeah... I...need to tell you something.



So it...was you?



You don't remember any of it?
...



I didn't care, either. Nothing mattered to me anymore. I would've welcomed death.

Living is too painful. I'm sure Seiko must have died hating me. There's just nothing left to live for...

It's the same message... Seiko... Are you trying to tell me something?

Sound Effect: Text

...!



Music: Yami ni Nureta Catastrophe





No. There's no way she's not mad at me. We had such a huge fight...

Especially not after what I did to her!

Seiko... There's no excuse for my actions. You...

I'm sorry... I'm so sorry...

Hey. Seiko... She...



She did. She was real, Naomi.



*sob* Just one last time...



I know you do...

The credits roll, and the game is over.

Corpse Party has plenty of flaws, but I really love it regardless. And I'm not ashamed to admit I cried at the ending.

Although the game has ended, the LP is far from over! Chapter 5 has seven more endings, and there are another six extra chapters as well. There are also a few more nametags, which I'll be showing in the next update.
