Play Somnium Files and you will see that it is in fact possible to be too horny.

This time we take the green door with Luna into the Lounge. I am unable to find one of the hemi-hemispheres for the longest time here and end up solving both puzzles without its aid >_> But I do find it before we leave. We go through the motions afterwards, with everything the same until Sigma enters the AB room and finds... a porno mag lying on the floor :O Wait, wrong game, there's actually a dead woman lying on the floor. Wait, what? What?? Sigma mirrors my own reaction here, I wasn't expecting to simply stumble across a corpse like this.

And so we have our first human outside of the 9, an old woman who seems very likely to be Tenmyouji's wife. She was stabbed, and all signs point to K as the culprit. I am failing to remember who went through the far left AB door for round 1 in the other timeline, I don't think it was me and Phi though. Maybe I should go back, whoever takes the far left door that time would immediately become the prime suspect. Or maybe not, with how this game is handling timelines. K insists it wasn't him (Clover was also notably in the same room but unconscious), and before investigating further we have to go back and play the game. Sidenote: Luna explaining ADAM again with a closeup makes me suspicious of this machine, and I think it must wind up playing a role here. Something to pay attention to when I eventually do the Infirmary puzzles.

We get a speedrun tutorial of the AB game, and I of course defy Phi and choose to ally with Luna. For the first time in the game I experience a win/win situation, as good old Luna comes through. I'm liking her now, so of course she will probably turn out to be the Ace of this game. Phi mentions hoping things will be different 'this time', so I wonder if Luna does betray us in some other timeline. It seems unlikely, she's consistently voted ally in every instance so far, so maybe Phi was referring to something else.

There's plenty of drama in the other groups. Dio constructs an elaborate blatant lie about Quark betraying Tenmyouji. This obvious lie defies reason, Dio loves to betray people and there'd be no reason for Quark to share his devious plans with him, and fictional Quark refers to Tenmyouji in the same derogatory terms Dio does. It's so obviously false that I wrap around into thinking there must be some truth to it, because why else is it here. Man, I'm too suspicious after 999 >_>

More interesting still is K and Clover betraying Alice. That pair has betrayed in the other timeline too, but Clover in particular betraying Alice here is very odd. Later on Tenmyouji accuses K of betraying Clover, I'm not sure if that's just a translation error or if he's implying K took control of the voting and betrayed Alice himself, therefore betraying Clover's trust. Either way it seems odd, on paper K's actions are incredibly suspicious but in his manners he seems quite the opposite. And Clover remains a bizarre question mark. I have to hand it to Alice, she takes being betrayed like a champ. There's no hypocrisy on her end!

Our further explorations provide more new info (nobody asks Zero about the dead woman post-AB game for some reason). Clover and Tenmyouji both clam up and refuse to share their secrets out of a lack of trust for us (maybe we should return to this timeline after gaining their trust), though Clover does admit she works for the same organisation as Alice. Suspicious indeed. In the infirmary we finally get some K time, he claims he feels natural in his metal suit and there's a Sontaran style 'pop me open here' target on the back of his head. Is he a robot with someone's consciousness uploaded into it? Mayhaps. He later absolutely refuses to let us take the red door, even after Ten relents. When this guy says no he means no.

Talking with Alice and Dio my earlier suspicions are confirmed that these people were kidnapped on different days. Alice was on the 22nd, and Dio thinks it was on the 20th. There were only three beds in that treatment room, so it could just be us three (or Alice and Dio) who were in there, but the dialogue is trending more towards the idea that everybody was captured at a different time, perhaps a long time before the outbreak.

We head towards our next puzzles (no bomb this time), but not before Quark starts showing his Radical-6 symptoms early. Interesting, Sigma is paired with Alice so I wonder if she will start playing up in our next room. I decide to take Luna into the green door- she's been so nice and trustworthy, and won't betray us unlike Clover and K. Or will she??? I've gotta start trusting these characters more >_> Or do I???

I leave it here today, Gaulem Bay will have to wait.
