Why did the director seem to have a split personality?
Yes, that was the question Fu Qian suspected he had found the answer to.
His attitude drifted unpredictably, contradicting itself at every turn.
He both enjoyed watching the chaos unfold and wanted to drive Fu Qian into the sanatorium's central formation—the attending physician's office.
Yet when they actually reached it, he retreated at the last moment, reverting to the righteous persona exposing the dark truth.
Even his favored actor had been tortured to the brink of madness. He had still carried himself with perfect poise from his entrance through the station, only to end up bedraggled and miserable afterward.
Why did the director behave this way?
The answer was that it was not the behavior of just one person.
What Unyielding Man embodied was, in fact, the wills of two people.
A suspicion he had held from the very beginning truly bore fruit at that moment.
Especially the note in Unyielding Man's hand. Though its contents were brief, it was powerful evidence.
First, it indisputably proved the director's existence.
From beginning to end, he truly had been controlling the scene, meaning anything could be interpreted as a conspiracy.
Second was the note's content. As established earlier, it was a contingency plan left for Unyielding Man.
As for the specific brilliant plan, it was that when he could no longer control the scene, he could directly employ a delaying tactic—giving Fu Qian, the intruder, a measure of initiative instead of remaining suppressed at all times.
Honestly, such an arrangement was reasonable. It even reflected the limits of his "operational authority."
As an intruder who had always been part of the design, Fu Qian's behavior had suddenly become aggressive after leaving Mrs. Tracy's male companion.
