Headphones

Once you complete the game as Sabitsuki, enter the dream world, drop your effects into the computer (by hitting the center sparkle) and begin the game as Rust, a paler version of Sabitsuki.

Events

.flow has a few events that, when triggered, typically increase Sabitsuki's Erosion Counter. This counter is only visible through looking at Little Sabitsuki in the Parade Ward of the corrupted Children's Hospital, and is theorized to represent the amount of damage Rust has done to Sabitsuki. Increasing your Erosion Counter has visual effects besides Little Sabitsuki, such as bloodstains appearing on your floor (and later, your walls) and strange objects attached to Sabitsuki's monitor to appear. Once the Erosion Counter has reached a certain amount of points (where the largest bloodstain is visible on Sabitsuki's floor), interacting with the Little Sabitsuki in the hospital with give you a new menu theme, the Rust Menu.

Bar Kaibutsu

When visiting the Sugar Hole, sometimes a normal Kaibutsu will be seated in the furthermost stool. If you attempt to hit them with your pipe, they will immediately kill you with their own weapon. The scene shows Sabitsuki's mutilated corpse in an all-black room, and a door slowly closing on you.

Bloody Room

Enter the sewers and go to the right side where the giant slime is. Go up the ladder and check the grates to the north of you - if there is only one, exit and enter again. If there are two, interact with the grate and head back outside. The slime will have changed colour. Move past the slime and you'll get sucked in and teleported to a long corridor. Enter the room at the end to see a giant white room painted in blood. Attempting to enter the room causes any effects in use to be cancelled and the screen to turn to static briefly. Soon, Sabitsuki will start bursting apart from the inside, and appears to grin while she dies.
