Well things finally went full Cupcakes in the story.
During the day Vincent discovers that all the info on his phone for Cathrine is missing, every email and photo and even her number are gone. Then he find out that no one ever actually saw her, even during the big fight the day before. Vincent starts freaking out and wonders if she ever existed in the first place, then he remembers that the bartender spoke to her the first night she showed up.
He roughs up the bartender until he admits that he has seen her. Then the bartender admits that he's surprised that Vincent saw through his plan and that he survived all the nightmares. Vincent says he has no idea what the bartender is talking about, but then demand that he tells him the whole story.
Turns out that the whole tower thing is a method of population control. When a guy gets into a long term relationship with a woman and dosen't produce any offspring it slows down population growth. So the bartender, named Mutton of course, weeds out all the dead weight by killing those men off in the tower, allowing the women to find new relationship and expand the population. To make the death easier to take, he some times arranges the men to cheat (or at least think they are) with a succubus named Cathrine, who takes the form of the guy's ideal woman.
Vincent makes a deal with Mutton to take on one last tower, and if he wins all the nightmares will stop. If he loses, then he's dead.
Also, of all he people that Vincent could save by talking with them, looks like I only saved 1.
