Paranoia ending (spoilers)

[Noelemahc]

Disclaimer: I am playing on the Switch but the online community for this game is nonexistent so this is the only place I think I can ask to get an answer.

On Day 19 upon returning to my room to save before Lao's dinner, I get a call from Emma and then get injected with something which leaves Jack delirious, paranoid, barricading himself in his room and promptly dying to an armed standoff with Alice.
Ending F: Paranoia, roll credits.

Did I:
- go without sleep for too long?
- go back to my room to save too often?
- fail a dialogue branch somewhere?

I have an earlier save from Day 16 if it was the sleep deprivation but I'd like some guidance before I go back to fight the Waterworks boss again.

I ask, I reply: simply do not return to your room on that day, leaving the Commons without going to the dinner is treated as a failure state.

After surviving the aftermath, I was allowed to sleep normally again.

Seen this a little too late haha yeah sadly I'm getting locked into the paranoia ending trying to do Nia's ending. Story won't progress or trigger cut scenes after a certain point. At least I got the game on sale.

It looks like the game occasionally drop or confuse plot flags (I got a few scenes out of Emma's pre-endboss resolution while doing Terra's plot where there was no infection breakout) but I was able to finish that playthrough despite all the mind-numbing backtracking through the Dark Souls Land of Haunted Empty Churches. All in all, great fun game because of how flexible it is, just wish it wasn't as buggy.
