Paths Do End:

Paths from the corner of an integral box always end at a corner.

Proof:

The proof is the same as in the case for the rectangle. On every face and at every step the path must pass through points an integral distance from the sides of the face. Each such point can be traversed in only two ways, thus the path cannot continue forever. The only way paths can end is when they strike a corner.
