In the wreckage of door number one, he will find a wolf's fang, clean and wickedly sharp. Like with the flower, there is a breath when he touches it--
You see young man, looking so, so tired. You want so much to reach out to him, when it looks like a strong breeze might knock him right over, but you know that he will certainly reject it. Regret is a knife in the back, a wolf's lonely howl in the distance.
Unlike with the flower, though, there is no sense of something better. It's just a dead end, something that Ritsuka might have wanted, but is closed off.
The second door is the easiest to find its corresponding item: a large violet gem, cracked so badly it is almost in two pieces. Again, when he touches it--
You see a young woman, one hand pressed to her eye. She looks so lonely, watching someone that you know she is too afraid to speak to, strangled in the expectations of her role. Regret is a sharp pain in one eye, the scent of water and flowers as she sinks below the surface.
The last item is a folded handkerchief, with a kissmark in one corner.
You see a man laughing cheerfully, seated across a campfire from you, exuding a warmth that you feel has to be genuine. Regret is your own loneliness, the greater understanding of a camaraderie and team you could have had, but has been taken from you.
This one is... less final than the other two, but there is no happier ending than with the third door.
The intact doors also have intact statues! The fifth door has a warrior holding a spear, standing in an aggressive stance; the sixth, a hunched shape with a skull mask over the figure's face; and the last door... is someone genuinely huge. It's almost as big as Moon, carrying a cleaver that is nearly as long as it is tall.
When he touches it, it absolutely tries to stab him.
It's not the best shot, because it is still a statue, however magically animated, but unlike Olgamarie, it seems to know how to aim for vulnerable points.
Not my fault that you're weak, buddy. But if you're here to protect something, then that means you're supposed to help Ritsuka, right? I'm looking to help, so like... maybe chill out.
It does not try to attack him again, but also, this might be an automated thing; after a few seconds after trying to stab him, it returns to the same aggressive posture as before.
He can! They definitely appear to be of the same design--the door for the spear-wielding statue and the skull-faced statue match (a spear, and a skull), but the giant with the cleaver appears to be some sort of horned beast. Whoever designed these definitely made them a set.

There is still no other happy ending here.
