The Jellyfish can be interacted with on the ending screen, pressing the number keys causes them to chime.The Jellyfish could be seen as a sign that even in death, Madotsuki won't escape her nightmares, or they could also be interpreted as humans in the real world spectating what happened to her, appearing as monsters. The manga supports this by having Masada tell her that the only way to wake up for real is to kill herself (see below), although this was not made by KIKIYAMA themself. This could explain how Madotsuki's eyes are always closed, how the set of stairs suddenly appeared on the balcony, and why the Jellyfish appear. Some fans have theorized that the real world is actually another layer of the many dream worlds in the game. Two Jellyfish from her dream world approach from different directions and surround the red smear as the credits appear, and the mournful ending theme begins to play.

Madotsuki climbs the stairs, jumps off the side of the balcony and plummets downward, then everything becomes dark.Ī heavy, echoing thud breaks the silence, and a pool of blood fades into view. She explores her room, and finds that a set of stairs have appeared on the balcony, leading over the railing. Madotsuki then leaves the dream world by pinching herself awake. She then drops every last one of her effects (by equipping them and pressing the '5' key). After collecting all 24 effects (25 including the Instructions) in the game, Madotsuki must return to the Nexus.
