The core logic of Nine-Day Talks was in the previous chapter—Chapter 4, "Review." If you haven't read it, please read Chapter 4 first, especially the dialogue between Yimo and Qin Muse.

"From this point onward, you may choose one of three places to spend your days."
"A. Happiness Academy. We strongly recommend choosing this place and reliving a happy period of student life."
"B. Happiness Inn. This is only moderately recommended, because apart from sleeping, you'll feel anxious from having nothing to do."
"4. Happiness Hospital. Not recommended. You won't feel any happiness here—only regret."

If the player has already developed problems and then goes to the hospital, they'll see a hospital brightly lit with lamps. Entering it will cause them to fall directly into the inner world, where they'll die.
③ The more you know, the more dangerous it is. The more confused your understanding becomes, the more dangerous it is. Taking only one handbook is the correct choice.
