After exploring, they reach the exit. Shannon tells Conway she wants to investigate a tunnel with broken track from before, and has him wait for her. In the dark depths she discovers piles upon piles of helmets of the deceased miners. While waiting, Conway can choose to investigate various objects, such as a birdcage and tape reels, before limping out of the mine and into a wooden shack where he encounters notebooks written by archivists labeled "Márquez." Conway asks if Shannon's parents were the archivists, to which she says that Weaver's parents were; hers were miners who died in the flood.
Conway and Shannon travel to [[Shannon's workshop]], located at the back of a small [[bait shop|bait and tackle shop]] at the corner of [[Wax Road|Wax]] and [[Peonia Road]], where Shannon recently saw Weaver's image on TV. However, Weaver is not there. On the way back to the farmhouse, Conway can choose to stop at Equus Oils where he meets [[Carrington]], Joseph's friend who is looking for a venue for his [[The Entertainment|play]]. Carrington describes his play as "a grand, broadly experimental theatrical adaptation of 'The Death of the Hired Man' by Robert Frost," and asks Conway to keep an eye out for venues for him.

Back at the [[Márquez Farmhouse]], Shannon reveals that Weaver fled after learning of her family's debts, along with her own debt due to university tuition. As Shannon attempts to fix the old TV, she notices moss growing on the vacuum tubes. After cleaning and recalibrating the TV, Conway looks in again. This time, both the image on the TV and the barn behind the house begin to warp and separate, forming an image of the opening to the {{Zero}} and the truck driving down it. Black.
