Ambidex

this intriguingly titled segment dumps us straight into the middle of a conversation, with team C locked in the nuclear reactor (?!) as the new year hits. after a nice awkward Akane/Junpei moment (it's been a while!), we solve the puzzle, which reveals that Zero is quite comfortable modifying a fucking nuclear reactor core mainframe with sliding block puzzles.

the decision game this time comes in throwback (or throwforward?) form, with the AB game making a reappearance! this time, it's a straight shootout between Carlos and Junpei, with Diana and Sigma's fate tied to Carlos and Akane and Phi's to Junpei. after another tender moment between Junpei and an unconscious Akane and a pep talk from Carlos, we enter the ambidex room and cast our votes.

Assume everyone you meet is a thief

Carlos picks ALLY, of course. and he is betrayed. Junpei explains himself, as the betrayers always do, but it matters not for Carlos, as he falls to his lovely, peaceful end.

GAME OVER

You're the one who killed me first!

Carlos picks BETRAY. he has to, right? Junpei's about to betray him! of course, in true Zero Escape style, he doesn't this time, and Carlos' appeal to morphogenetics doesn't make Junpei feel all that much better in his final moments (especially considering Junpei's fairly inexplicable apparent ignorance about all that stuff, despite 999). Carlos then stops in this fine moment to consider all that he's going through, just in time for Akane to sneak up behind him and bludgeon him to death with a fire extinguisher in a scene which is uncomfortably long to say the least. she then manages to make her way to Junpei before her own poison kicks in, leaving team D as a very shakespearean pile of corpses. hurray!

GAME OVER

---

Junpei, if we die, I'm gonna kill you!

Carlos, quite hilariously, jumps back in time right in time to interrupt Junpei's emotional monologue. he then creeps him the fuck out by quoting Junpei's own story back to him. Akane wakes up, and decides to get weirdly meta and talk about her love of Back to the Future to explain the concept of SHIFTing and multiple universes.

after a long expository chat, Akane reaches her conclusion: team C, as a bunch of shifty individuals, should completely skip the issue of the AB game, and jump to another history that's much nicer. that's surely kind of cheating, but this game is fairly nuts, so I'll allow it. hopefully for these guys they end up in the nice universe where we won the coin flip at the beginning, but I doubt that somehow.

Akane basically decides to blow up the reactor to help them feel in danger, a chess move that is rendered entirely sensible in comparison to Junpei's next gambit, choosing to switch to the history where they all get gunned down in the games room. as total maniacs, the team go along with this, and the temporal disruption of this nonary game reaches a whole new level.
