Time to recap for the visually-impaired. "Specifically, there're nine posts numbered one to nine, and they've each got a nail to hang something on. The labels are in text and not numeric, and bracketed, if that matters. There're a bunch of gas masks around the room, each with what looks like a name or word engraved on the back.
ALESSA, CL-9, ROBIN, LEE, CHERYL, JANE, JOHAN, BLUE. And there're three Ambidex rooms here. They're labeled THE BETRAYER, THE ENDURING, and THE INNOCENT.
That's three rooms, eight masks, and nine posts. It seems like the masks should be hung on the posts, but if so, we're missing one. Unless that's part of the puzzle? Either way, I don't see any clue sheets like there usually are."
He thought for a second. "Alessa and Cheryl were the names of people we encountered in some of the experiments earlier. I ran into them in the twelfth round, though since we were split into groups, it would've been different for each group. There was a reference to CL-9 in the theater back in round 7, too, but back then it was a clue based on a simple code. You know, A=1, B-2?"
He wasn't sure how helpful any of that was, though. "Another thing Zero really likes is digital roots. But a lot of the inscriptions have the same root. Alessa, Jane, and Johan would both be 3. Robin, Lee, and Blue are all 4. Plus the digital roots of the numbered posts don't match, either."
Hmm. Hmm.
"...I'm gonna dredge around in the pool and see if there's a ninth gas mask or anything else that might help. It might be that the water's not just gross just to be obnoxious. It might also be to hide somethin'."
