** During Chapter 3-1A, the participants meet Doll versions (called "Dummies") of the people who didn't survive the First Trial. The participants quickly make it clear that they consider the Dummies to have much value as them and don't treat them any different from regular humans, with some even bringing up what happened with the previous Doll. Towards the end of Chapter 3-1B, however, both humans ''and'' Dummies end up prioritizing the survival of one of the humans, with the Dummies even insisting that [[PlayerCharacter Sara]] sacrifice them to protect the human. Of course, if said human dies, it results in ''all'' of them losing, so this is something of a justified case.

For their part, the Prototypes consider themselves superior to humanity and view their superiority as sufficient justification for enslaving the human race (or in Alice’s case, [[spoiler:exterminating it]]).
