First come, first saved: C

Junpei, one year... and you've changed so much

well this one was a doozy

I stick with team C and awaken at 18:10 locked in the decontamination room, where I get an overdue but startling plot dump. Junpei's cold and callous persona, he reveals, was a result of becoming a detective and seeing the worst of humanity over the last year, including infiltrating and destroying Free the Soul's headquarters with Seven. he later threatened his way into D-Com after hearing that Akane would be there. it's pretty difficult to parse his feelings towards Akane - there's clearly anger, but it's hard to tell how much of a personal grudge he holds and how much he has simply become damaged since.

anyway, Zero informs us of the mutually beneficial results of the voting, and gives us a chance to "fix" things - by murdering both other teams with hydrofluoric acid showers (ouch). Junpei is totally all for it, Akane against, but Carlos takes the decision alone.

naturally, I choose not to press it. I find it mildly stunning that the game would allow you to make a decision to murder six people (including Sigma and Phi!), and I genuinely sort of hope I never have to come through this path again and press that button. the atmosphere of the game so far makes that feel like a vain hope indeed though. the segment ends in an open-ended fashion, with us placed back to sleep before discovering the outcome of the decision game.

sheesh.
