This WMG only applies to the book version. What if Gary was right that there really was not anything out there that was killing people, but people were so convinced that they were that they ended up really dying? The part that he did not get right was [[spoiler: that uncovering the windows would cure them. It takes a lot more than that to remove a worldwide delusion such as what they are experiencing.]]

This is assuming you chose [[spoiler:Ending 2, in which Saya "blooms" and has her spores turn the rest of humanity into the rest of her kind.]] By that time, the "epidemic" would have 100% consumed Japan, but [[FlowerMotifs dandelion spores]] don't travel so far so fast, so of course it would take a bit longer for it to reach the rest of the world.

As is evident in how the eyes of a victim change, this would be a more sound explanation than just seeing something traumatizing for the moment. The effect would be akin to being sucked into a nightmare world based on a person's worst fears on the spot, only the world hasn't changed, it only looks as such from their altered sense of sight, much like a very bad acid trip that was manufactured by an artificial intelligence.

A person who is already insane might see their lives up until that point as not so different than before, while their motivation for making sane people look at the creatures might vary, based on the nature of their diagnosis. To the insane, it might make sane people look like people they once knew, or at least look familiar to them, and thus coerced the insane to share the experience with the uninitiated, out of some sort of religious union or revenge on those that wronged them for whatever reason.

This in turn would address not just the abrupt change of a normal to suicidal person, but also how the people who are already clinically insane into obsessed zealots. The change extends to how people see other people around them. They will see lethal hazards as portals that look like an exit out of the hellscape they see around them, and anything else like sane people as monsters that won't go away.
