Topicnonary nonsense: giggs plays zero time dilemma

since that's the end of my team C excursions for now, current thoughts:

- my Saw analogy from earlier seems to be gaining ground. maybe all of this death and destruction somehow needs to happen to save the world from Radical-6, but the violence in this game feels needlessly cruel so far. Sigma and Akane's Nonary Games (while cold and somewhat vengeful) were never this sadistic, and it's very hard to ascribe an altruistic motive to Zero here.

- in the VLR timeline, Sigma, Phi and Akane failed to stop Radical-6, but they all (alongside Junpei) clearly survived - in Sigma's case, with two fewer arms and an eye missing. this begs a few questions: why did they fail, and how could that be avoided this time? how could four people survive this brutal and unforgiving decision game setup? how did Sigma not bleed out despite losing both his arms in the middle of a Nonary Game? did Zero survive?

- I've been in this position before, but it's especially hard to imagine any of the main characters being Zero this time. Team Q are largely unknown entities, and there could be a collaborator or two dotted around, but this game feels so straight up villainous it's hard not to suspect Free the Soul and Brother as the masterminds here. I feel like if Brother is the big bad of the series then he must be someone we already know, too, or else that would be super anticlimactic. we've heard rumblings of Seven and Lotus' fate, but what of Santa? Ace? Snake? could any of them be involved?

- what's going on with Junpei's ring? I feel like, of the major recurring characters, he's the least pivotal to the main plot, but the game is clearly trying to tell his story here too. if Radical-6 was stopped, could Junpei and Akane could actually live a normal life together? that's probably too much to ask, Junpei will probably end up heroically sacrificing himself somehow (for the record I doubt Sigma and Phi are getting out of this alive either).

that'll do for now! if anyone has any specific questions, don't hesitate to ask!
