How to solve the puzzle with the plates

Once all three plates are collected, return to Hinako's bedroom door in Shimizu Residence I. Hinako will automatically install the plates alongside a pre-existing fourth plate called the Heavens Plate.

The plates must be arranged on the lock plaque in an order that reflects a symbolic battle between the Sword and Fox on scales, with the overall arrangement depending on the player's chosen ending.

Here is the correct arrangement for each ending path:

Ending Top Left Right Bottom Flip instructions
Coming Home to Roost (Ending 1) Heavens Swords Fox — Flip Scales
Fox’s Wedding (Ending 2) Fox Scales Black Bird — Flip Swords, Flip Heavens
The Fox Wets Its Tail (Ending 3) Swords White Bird Scales — Flip Fox, Flip Heavens
Ebisugaoka in Silence (Ending 4) — White Bird Black Bird Heavens Flip Scales

Details in the player's journal hint at the arrangement: The Sword and Fox battle on scales that have been destroyed, symbolized by flipping the scales plate. The sun rises behind the Fox and sets behind the Sword, influencing their placement.

What happens after unlocking
