Q-team's turn now. Bottom right corner. "Pop off", it says. 18:10, same as the pantry...Pod Room. Eric and Q, but no Mira. Eric has anger issues, but he's clearly in love. Still, he pisses me off. Too white knightish; from what I've seen of Mira, she's capable of taking care of herself. Q tells him to stay calm. Q feels the same as Eric, though...since he's got no memories of his own, Mira and Eric and the others are the most important people to him. He understands how he might seem suspicious, but...

Eric apologizes for yelling at Q. Escape time.

Huh. There's a clear difference...or at least, there was. Something glowing in the middle. They seem the same now, though. Seems like maybe a dart board. There's also a locked case with a hammer, and an upside-down painting. Metal gear stuck in the wall...red circles on the floor and ceiling...but nothing I can find that we can grab. ...Heh, I guess the locks on the hammer case aren't actually blocked by anything. Just go into the puzzle and start moving things. It's a damn simple puzzle. Hammer doesn't help with any of the obvious things...ah, there's a note on the floor. Strike in the middle of a red circle. So, hammer all the red circles. Ah, that reveals more locks at the end...There's a picture of a Zero doll that says "Become me". Also a serrated hole...wait, I was right about the gear, I just wasn't clicking in the right place to open it up! ...But it doesn't work. The gear is officially on the screen as "driver tip", so I try combining it with the only other item in my inventory, to no avail. Aha, another cabinet! The puzzles are getting tougher, but still easy. Finally, I get to the last puzzle...ah, I thought it was a simple matter of alternating between plus and minus, but it's based on the color...And now we can rotate the room far more easily. Easy enough to line it up now. Second-to-last block shifting puzzle is kind of tough; last one, not as much. This unlocks the shotgun, and the button makes the pods appear. One opens, and we've got our escape. Mira was in a pod. She does not appear alive. There's an electronic key in her mouth. Marks on her neck, suggesting she was strangled. Q remembers something. An abusive father, and a brother begging the father to stop. Also Q's name is Chris, if this is reliable. Or, no, I've got it wrong maybe? The wrong person had the flashback. That's Eric's flashback; Chris is Eric's brother. The voice sounded so much like Q's, though...At his father's behest, Eric put Chris's body in the lake. I'm almost certain that was Q's voice, though; my current guess was that Chris was either revived or saved somehow and kept in suspended animation, and that Q is in fact Chris. A screen lights up...Junpei seems to be frozen to death. Also, it seems I've been spoiled on the room that stopped me. Akane and her chainsaw seem dead, but Carlos and his fire axe are alive, if bloody. The six X-passes are revealed, as D-team also got wiped out. June, Jump, Virgin, Blue, Red, Milk. Well, those first two are Akane and Junpei, and the last one is Sigma. Phi is probably "Blue", since Red seems more likely to be one of the other two. Guessing that's Mira and Diana is "Virgin". Ah, Eric suspects, incorrectly, that the reason D-team is gone completely is because of the vote at 13:30. Makes sense from his perspective. Also, I'm absolutely certain now that my theory is correct, or at least, they want me to think that. The dialogue parallel was too perfect. And now Eric's shot out the input device for the X-Door. He demands to know who killed Mira. There's a decision...oh, shit, I have to actually type something in in the time? I closed the 3DS to stop it so I could type this...I type in Zero. He says that's true in an overall sort of way...but still says Q did it personally. Back to the pantry.
