Summary

Artem and the Main Character peruse the context of Brad Gries' USB drive, finding an earnest audio confession that reveals Brad heard about the "miracle drug" from other families at the hospital and purchased some to analyze. After finding the drug's composition too familiar, he chose to become a whistleblower, but his efforts failed and he went into hiding. When he received word that Brigid Gries' condition had worsened dramatically, he suspected retribution for his actions. He confesses to "killing his future self" to force the suppressed information into the open. Artem and the MC, frustrated that Brad still concealed key information in the confession, agree to pressure Gladiolus Valley Research Center, who seems to have had something to do with the events. At the trial for Felicia Luo, the MC successfully presents enough evidence for Brad's suicide that Felicia is released. However, believing her ex-husband to be timid man incapable of the kind of bravery the MC suggests, Felicia is left in severe emotional distress upon hearing the MC's conclusions.

Audio Recording of Brad Gries' Confession

Evidence Description (Spoilers)

An audio recording saved on a USB flash drive. It was intentionally hidden in the rhinoceros carving by Brad Gries.

---

In the audio recording, Brad Gries described what happened:
1. Brad Gries found the ingredients for the drug circulating in the black market to be extremely familiar. However, he didn't want to believe it and merely scolded the boy who tried to steal money for the drug.
2. After the fall of Heirson, there were more and more victims of the drug. He decided to report it, but all of his materials were intercepted, and he even received death threats.
3. Brad Gries was about to give up and hide away from his family. But his daughter ended up taking the drug. It was at that moment that he decided to sacrifice himself and be a hero.
Doubts:
Brad Gries didn't explain why he found the ingredients for the black market drug to be familiar, nor did he disclose who threatened him.
