Regarding the patient in the fourth floor isolation ward:
I'll be carrying out observations today, but I fear that her condition has progressed to a nearly hopeless stage.
As is so often the case when a strong channeler with keen spiritual sensitivity contracts Getsuyuu Syndrome, her symptoms are particularly severe.
She's probably the best example of the phenomenon. As I write this, her mind is on the verge of collapse.
She has been maintaining a modicum of self-awareness by regarding dolls as parts of herself. I believe that this fixation on various dolls may enable her to stabilize her ever-fluid ego by projecting it into this "yorishiro"-like object.
(Regarding a doll as part of yourself as a means of organizing disordered memories is perhaps a method we could teach other patients.)
However, despite the dolls' effectiveness in the short-term, practically speaking they have only slightly delayed her inevitable collapse.
The director is ardently searching for an effective treatment, but there is so much he has already tried...
Further efforts may serve only to torment her...

四階特別隔離室の患者について
今日観察を行うが、症状は
絶望的な段階と感じる。
彼女のように霊的な感覚が鋭い
ある種の霊媒体質の女性が
月幽病を発症すると、
著しく重い症状に陥る場合が多い。
彼女はそれの最たるものであろう。
精神は確実に崩壊に向かいつつある。
彼女は人形を自分に見立てる事で
わずかに自我を保っている。
彼女がさまざまな人形を抱き執着するのは、
常に流動的な自我を固定させるため
自我を映す「依り代」として
必要だからではないではないか。
（人形を自分に見立て、
混乱する記憶を整理する方法は、
他の患者へ流用する事ができるかもしれない）
しかし、人形を与えることで
一時的な効果があったとしても、
それはわずかに崩壊を遅らせているに
過ぎない。
院長は治療法を懸命に探しているが
すでに様々な方法を試してきた。
これ以上の治療は彼女を
苦しめるだけかもしれない⋯。
Additional Information
A yorishiro is a physical object capable of drawing the presence of a spirit, usually a kami, for a temporary period, especially ritual ceremonies. By using the doll as a vessel for a part of her own spirit, the doll is able to "speak" to her and remind her of things, such as her own name.[1] Many characters in this game seem to naturally seek out yorishiro-like objects, such as Kazuto Amaki's fixation on the mask from the dining room.[2]
