ENTITY CONTAINMENT DIVISION
ANOMALOUS PHENOMENA REPORT
SUBJECT: "FALSE LILIES"
CLASSIFICATION: FALSE WORLD PHENOMENA
STATUS: UNDER INVESTIGATION
Background
The existence of the phenomenon now designated as "False Lilies" originates from the testimony of a single survivor recovered during the first successful extraction from the False World, following the establishment of a temporary breach by Ground Forces.
The individual, identified in surviving records as ███████ ██████, was retrieved on ██/██/1995 near ███████████ following the Fogwall breach operation. Medical examination confirmed severe memory degradation, psychological distress, and significant distortions in the witness's perception of time. Despite this, portions of the testimony remained consistent across multiple interviews.
Among the details repeatedly described were red flowers growing throughout an unfamiliar world.
The witness reported encountering the flowers throughout the environment, often beside television sets displaying no signal. During multiple interviews, she maintained that the flowers were somehow connected to an individual she could no longer remember, though she was unable to elaborate further.

Partial Transcript
Examiner: What do you remember of the False World?
Witness: The flowers.
That's what I remember.
Red flowers. Everywhere.
A red moon.
Too many stars.
Televisions.
No signal.
Examiner: And the flowers? Why are they important?
Witness: I don't know.
They just are.
Examiner: What else do you remember?
Witness: I remember being afraid.
There was a woman.
She was watching me.
Examiner: The woman. Tell me about her.
Witness: I don't know.
Examiner: Can you describe her?
Witness: I don't remember her face.
Examiner: Did anything about her stand out?
Witness: ...
The air around her looked wrong.
Examiner: Wrong how?
Witness: I don't know.
I don't know how to describe it.
Like the televisions.
The ones with no signal.
Examiner: Anything else?
Witness: ...
The flowers.
Analysis
No known specimens have ever been recovered.
All available information originates from witness testimony.
The flowers are consistently described as recurring red blooms appearing throughout the False World.
Several researchers have proposed that the phenomenon may be linked to residual memory retention. Current theory suggests the flowers are manifestations of a recurring memory originating from Mori Shion's human identity prior to the False World event.
This remains speculative.
Researchers have noted similarities between the witness's testimony and memory-related anomalies documented during previous encounters associated with the False World. Of particular interest is the witness's repeated assertion that the flowers were connected to an individual she could no longer remember. Some investigators believe this may indicate a relationship between the phenomenon and the broader memory-loss effects associated with the False World.
No evidence currently explains why a single floral image would persist while the majority of Mori Shion's memories appear inaccessible or destroyed.
Conclusion
Whether the flowers possess any functional purpose remains unknown.
At present, False Lilies are considered a passive environmental phenomenon associated with the False World. Their apparent connection to Mori Shion's retained memories remains unproven.
Further investigation is impossible due to the absence of repeatable access to the affected environment.
END REPORT.
