[Indeed, nothing happens when Higekiri pushes the cassette into the slot. However, it's an entirely different story once he presses play.
Unlike the last time, there are no angry duplicates coming after them. Instead, the P.A. system crackles to life for a fourth time. There are a handful of seconds of nothing but distorted, garbled audio... But once they get through that, the same voice as before begins to speak.]
I spoke to H ҉̵͢-̶̧҉̶͜-̀͏-̨͟͏̵ again. He seemed to be in a bad mood. But that's hardly surprising nowadays... It's easy to forget how he used to be when this all started.
"This is pointless," he said to me. "They're hunting us down, like we're -̡͜͠͞͠-̶́̀͟-͏̷̶͢-̕҉̶̡-̷͟͠. There were 33 of us four weeks ago. Now there's only 12! And my brother, he was--"
I asked him to calm down. Pleaded with him to hold onto his hope. We would speak to C ̶͟-̢̛ ̵̢͘͝-̶́-͜͝-̸̡͘͞͞ ̶̧-̵̶̕͡͠ later, so he could share with us what t͘͘͜͟͠-͘-̶͏ ̶̴͡͏e̸̵ ̶̢d́̕͟é̛ ̧̨͘͜-̸̛͢͞ ̵͢҉͜-̡r̶̶̶͡҉t̶̷͠e͜͠҉̧-̛̕͡ had whispered to him.
But as our conversation carried on, I could not let go of my guilt. I could not tell him what I had done, and who I had protected.
[Once again, the audio becomes heavily distorted towards the end, making it so they cannot understand what comes after this brief clip of audio. As Junpei and Beck are standing close to the door, they will be able to hear a click coming from it once the cassette has finished playing.]
Higekiri is almost disappointed he didn't get a demon to cut.
Well, he's still listening!! And he's thoughtful about it, looking like he's sincerely trying to trying to focus for once. Then when it ends, he'll wait for the two to open the door and then retrieve the tape afterward, pocketing it again as he turns back to Beck and Junpei.]
Let us depart.
[he does look a bit concerned for a moment - but it just as quickly disappears underneath a smile]
[She listens to all of that, but it doesn't do much to make her any less distressed - still, it's information they didn't have before, at the very least.
All the same, she doesn't hesitate when Higekiri says that. She's stepping forward to head out the door as quickly as she can.]
[They won't have any trouble getting out of the room now that the door is unlocked, at least. They'll even get to keep any items they've taken with them. Nice! As they all step out into the first floor corridors, however, they will hear something shuffling and moving behind them. Should they glance back quickly enough, they'll catch a glimpse of the room resetting itself. The switchboard resets to its original settings, the dildo Junpei threw pops off the door to roll across the floor to its previous location, and the camera spins back towards the bed.
As the lights inside the room switch themselves off, the door closes behind them. The lock will click shut once again.

All's well that ends well.]
