We've been through most of the rooms now, the endings should start coming before long!

I realised I missed out a path earlier, so today Alice and Sigma take K into the rec room and watch him have the time of his life riding Zero Jr. Bless him! There's nothing special in this safe, and after the puzzles are done we wander round until, right on cue, Alice dies again. She really can't catch a break. This time Luna dies alongside her to spice things up. This occurs shortly after Alice was looking into the corner of the warehouse, so it could be a similar trigger to the other time when she figured out about the moving container. Quark also disappears again.

K asks Sigma to vote ally, and I acquiesce. I knew that there was a good chance he'd pick betray (he has lied before and is just as fond of betraying as Dio is), but I tried to stay noble. As our reward, K abandons us all to our deaths and I reach my first end of path :( Lesson learned! I should not have put everybody's lives at risk just to maintain Sigma's honesty, I'm kinda annoyed at myself for doing that. I'll be more careful about picking ally in future, though there's not many ally paths I haven't gone down yet >_>

After a quick jump K and I betray each other, and the story goes on. In the infirmary we notice the old woman must've had a bracelet on (again I missed this, I am not looking closely enough at my surroundings!), and one of us was therefore not meant to ever be in the Nonary game. Sure enough, just as we saw Dio had blood on his bracelet in the other timeline, we get him to confess to the murder. This only muddles things further as far as I can see- How did the old woman's body get into Luna's container? Who moved the container and why? Why was Dio ordered to kill her? And why did Dio go out of his way to join this game when, since coming here, he's been working so hard to get out of it? Things still look shady for Luna, who may be in on things with Dio.

We also take a detour into an open Gaulem Bay. G-OLM isn't here and the safe has been emptied, meaning K's key has been taken. Did G-OLM wake up and somehow leave?

Quark is finally found in the treatment pods sans bracelet. Maybe the cryo-chambers can stop the heart briefly? Did he put himself in here? Who took his bracelet? More questions.

After locking Dio in another treatment pod, we search for Clover and Tenmyouji. I worry they're dead in the infirmary like last time but we don't ever visit there to find out. Instead, K remembers an awful lot about his childhood and we get a large info dump. His father was working on some seemingly important but deadly research apparently involving solving death itself, and a mysterious blurry woman (the old woman?) was willing to die for it. Poor K has lived a sheltered and very traumatic life, being created solely as a backup should his father die before his work is done. He's been acting remarkably well-adjusted considering he'd only met two people before this game! Of course several things are still unknown, it's possible he's still a robot, and his father could be... Tenymouji, I guess? He's the only one old enough. I did catch that cartoon baby-K was carrying a stuffed rabbit toy.

I fear K still has more trauma to process, but for now he rests. Maybe we can bring him back to the Rec Room to have some fun after all this is done. Phi and Sig hear a loud noise, and eventually discover Dio dead and his bracelet broken (it's uncharacteristic of Phi to not notice the broken bracelet or attempt to pick it up sooner, she's usually good at that stuff). Once again it appears the answer to progress may involve stopping Phi and K's hearts so their bracelets can come off, so whenever I get a clear-cut answer to that mystery I'll be golden!

The next new path will have to involve betrayal, but before that I scan all the 'locks' looking to see if we can solve one. I choose the double vial path, hoping that something will help me process the meaning of IG replicator so Sigma can forge on ahead. Sure enough, one of the first words I see is immunoglobulin!! How did I forget that!! I save right here for today, but I am optimistic that this path can now move forward.
Answers await :D
