* The cafeteria of Zone 3 (the room on the stamp card) teleports the Batter outside where there are no spectres to be found once the batter battles spectres within the cafeteria. If the Batter was a helpless Elsen who barely got away, then this room teleporting the Elsen away could potentially save his life. The cafeteria and the now-largely empty dorms were almost certainly built at the beginning of Zone 3's creation to feed and rest the workers, respectively, so it was built before Enoch learned how to make sugar from Elsens, hence this safety system existing in Zone 3 of all places.
** The presence of safe paths at all are unusual. Most rooms either have spectres roaming around freely inside of them or not. The cafeteria's Elsen safety system is probably the reason.

* The messages when beginning and ending a fight are "Purification in progress" and "Adversaries purified," even though fights consist of the Batter beating the enemies to death. Considering the Batter's ultimate goal of "purifying the land" requires destroying it, it appears he considers oblivion the purest state of being. Also goes hand in hand with the fact that he considers Secretaries and the Purified Zones to be impure; it's an improvement in the Batter's eyes since everything in them is gone, but the Zones themselves are still around and need to be destroyed to be truly purified.
