Oh dear. It seems I'm facing an... "Insane Flower." Someone else did. Hey, can you shut up and just die for once? I don't need to throw my mercy at you!
If you don't understand what's happening... that's okay. You shouldn't rely so heavily on the news. If it was, then your reliance will turn everyone slowly angry as we misconstrue the information provided. With enough fear from one thing, everyone will turn murderous, and that is how the player died. At least, I theorize. But if you survived... you would have killed, instead. And the ending shows attempts to bring life back. "The aftermath."
