Anthropic Principle (Part III)

HAHAHAHA.

what a bold and clever plan, Carlos. just as Evil-Q is about to land its supercharged deathblow on him, Carlos' consciousness lands back in his body, causing him to collapse to the ground. Evil-Q slams into the wall behind him, not only destroying himself but also ruining the mirage wall projections.

"You're fucking kidding me", responds Junpei. I like jaded Jumpy as a sort of player proxy, it works well. Carlos and the team run for it to the transporter room to make their escape (I'm not sure how Carlos calculated this, but we're earlier in the overall timeline than when team D did it, so the machine is still active), where they are greeted by hologram Zero. he informs us that he is no longer alive, because Carlos has already killed him in this timeline (?!), but if we go find him he'll tell us lots of exciting information.

this suggests that Zero must be in team Q, since the execution vote is the only "killing" Carlos was involved in this timeline. could Zero really be Mira or Eric? despite what I posited earlier, the thought seems so ridiculous.

Evil-Q shows up again, and Carlos urges Akane and Junpei to transport to the history in which they were executed while he holds him off. Carlos seems to know well that he can't get to that history by any established means, but he promises that he will meet them there anyway. after the two successfully transport, Carlos has a moment of inhuman willpower to overpower the doll, and damages the transporter in the process. as everything around him begins to rupture, Carlos spots an opportunity.

Light floods around him, and the machine explodes as he makes his uncertain escape.
