Ability[]
Funeral of the Dead Butterflies' ability triggers when its Qliphoth Counter reaches 0. Its Qliphoth Counter can fluctuate in the following ways:
- Decrease by 1 when an Agent with Justice level 2 or lower works with the Abnormality.
- Decrease by 1 when an Agent with Fortitude level 4 or higher works with the Abnormality.
- Decrease by 1 with 80% chance when getting a Bad Work Result.
When the Funeral of the Dead Butterflies' Qliphoth counter reaches zero it will breach containment.
When Funeral of the Dead Butterflies breaches it will begin walking around the facility with 400 HP. When there is a target in the same room as it, it will perform one of two attacks:
- It extends the arm on its neck and make a gun shape with the hand, then shoots some butterflies towards an employee which will deal (10-15) White Damage.
- It slams the coffin it carries with it on the ground and places it vertically in front of itself. After a few seconds the coffin will open and butterflies will flood the corridor in front of it, dealing consistent low (3-4) White Damage for some seconds to any entities trapped in the swarm.
If the Abnormality depletes the Sanity of an employee with its attacks, the employee will die instead of panicking, with butterflies resting on their corpse. When defeated, Funeral of the Dead Butterflies will slowly float down and enter its coffin before returning to containment.
Origin[]
Part of its origin is currently unknown, but in its entries it is mentioned that this Abnormality came to the facility to 'free' the employees, to return them to their home after they die. However, due to employees being bound to the company and only able to return when they are 'discarded', the objective was difficult to achieve. The Abnormality was then captured by the corporation.
Details[]
Funeral of the Dead Butterflies responds to the four works in order of best to worst: Repression, Insight, Instinct, and Attachment.
Like all Abnormalities, its energy output is determined by the number of PE Boxes (Positive Enkephalin boxes) at the end of the work.
Funeral of the Dead Butterflies' emotional state is divided into 3 sections: Bad, Normal, and Good. Completing 0-6 E Boxes will cause it to feel Distressed, completing 7-10 will cause it to feel Normal, and 11-16 will make it Happy. Its cooldown timer after a task is around 10 seconds and its Qliphoth Counter is 2.

Story[]
- "Where does one go when they die?
Where did all the employees who worked here go?"
- "- They must have returned home. To a haven where family and warmth await.
- The employees cannot leave; once they join the company, the only way to leave is to resign.
- - Then those "resigned" employees must have returned home, having earned what they wanted and being full of hope."
- "We are the feathers of a Wing. Resignation isn't as simple as you think. Just like how a feather doesn't detach from a wing of its own will.
- - Then, where did all the resigned employees go?
- They're bound to the company the moment they enter. Even if they do resign, they are doomed to stay here forever."
- - Long ago, in some world, people believe that they would become beautiful beings with small wings when they died. It's a silly story. Nonsensical too.
- If we get wings, will we be able to leave this place? Do we get our wings only after we retire?"
- "They say the mourner with a huge luggage on his back had come to be a savior to all. Eventually, he himself was trapped in this place, and now he wanders the company with only the memory of an empty faith. He's carrying a coffin. A large coffin to pay tribute to the employees who have nowhere else to go. However, it is still too small to comfort those innocent sacrifices.
- Inside it is a kaleidoscope of butterflies waiting for the moment to fall asleep. Until then, they flutter their wings uselessly. The wings that may have been many jumbled into one, or one split into many. Butterflies are supposed to pollinate flowers, but not a single proper flower blooms in this place. There is no choice but to wait. After all, there must be an end to every world."

- "Funeral of the Dead Butterflies dreams. The curtain draws down on the ideal born in vain, but it is without an accompanying conclusion."

- "The funeral procession never ends; <name> continues to calmly mourn."

Trivia[]

- The file name for Funeral of the Dead Butterflies is titled Butterfly.
