Act II opens with a prelude in which [[Lula Chamberlain]], an installation artist whose work is featured in ''[[Limits & Demonstrations]]'', receives a rejection letter from the [[Gaston Trust for Imagined Architecture]]. After reading the note, she sorts through a series of proposals for reclaiming spaces for purposes alternate to their current function, such as a proposal to reclaim a distillery as a graveyard. If the player met [[Carrington]] in [[Act I]], he will interrupt Lula, and ask her about his proposal for a venue for his performance. Otherwise, her coworker [[Rick]] talks to her, asking about the proposals and an upcoming office party.

Mary Ann tells Conway and Shannon that the church is actually inside a self-storage facility, and gives them directions on how to get to it via the {{Zero}}. At the storage lot, the two talk to the janitor, [[Brandon]]. He says that he must start the night mass, but tells Shannon the records are in unit C315 and gives her his keys. Shannon leaves to look for the records while Conway rests his leg. Brandon presses play on an old tape player, and the two talk and listen to a prerecorded sermon on the virtue of hard work. Shannon returns with the file they were looking for. As they leave the building, Conway collapses from his injury, hallucinating about his accident at [[Elkhorn Mine]]. When he comes to, Shannon decides their first priority should be to find Dr. Truman.

Following the directions given by Lula, they arrive at where his house should be, but find that all houses in the neighborhood have been torn down and replaced with the under-construction [[Museum of Dwellings]]. Here, they encounter residents of the museum's many dwellings and explore the displayed homes, as narrated by the museum staff watching security footage in the future. Exploring one house, they meet [[Flora]], a young girl who tells them that Dr. Truman has since moved away. Flora also recounts Conway's story of exploring the cabin, in which he said he found an entrance into a hidden basement containing a pit with glowing moss, a garden, and a river. Conway states he lived in the cabin with one of his parents when he was young.

He's a lot bigger and stronger, and he has more feathers than me, but he's still my brother.'']] After exploring a variety of other dwellings, including houses, trailers, birdcages, horse stables, and tents, and talking with their [[:Category:Museum of Dwellings|residents]], Conway and Shannon take a construction lift to the roof where they meet a [[Ezra]]. The young boy explains that he and his brother [[Julian]] fly many of the museum's homes, including Dr. Truman's, out to the [[forest]] at night because the forest is easier to sleep in, but that Dr. Truman asked not to be brought back. Ezra agrees to bring Shannon, Conway, and his dog to the doctor and calls Julian, a giant eagle who snatches them off the roof and flies them to the forest. In the air, the group can observe many situations and locations below, such as an all-night diner, the [[Márquez Farmhouse]], [[Equus Oils]], a wandering guitar player, and the [[bait shop]]. [[File:Forest.png|thumb|right|''EZRA: You have a way of falling behind, don't you? Me, I'm always too far ahead. Maybe I should slow down a bit, like you.'']]

The group lands in the forest. As, Conway, limping and assisted by Shannon, and the rest of the group walk through the illusory trees, stopping intermittently, [[Emily, Ben, and Bob]] can be seen and heard playing "[[Long Journey Home]]" in the foreground. They arrive at Dr. Truman's house and while Ezra and Shannon watch TV, the doctor inspects Conway's leg and gives him a dose of ''Neurypnol TM''. Conway begins to succumb to the drug and falls into into a nebulous, drug-induced sleep, as his vision grows black and the walls of the house to pull away to reveal the forest beyond.
