...And boy, did my "reminiscences" help!

"Luna was based on the woman from the Mars mission test site whose voice is heard on the recording in Tenmyouji's path."

"Tenmyouji says in his ending that he knows who Zero Sr. is now, which makes perfect sense because he would've recognized the man in the hologram as Sigma. But he also realized that he met Sigma 45 years ago at the test site.

Sigma's run of bad luck in December 2028 that led to him getting captured was engineered by Akane and the Crash Keys. The "DM" in Luna's product model number stands for "Diana Model", and he says to stay tuned for the next installment to find out what that means but it seems to already make sense to me--Diana is the Roman Goddess equivalent to the Greek Artemis, goddess of the hunt but often conflated to also be goddess of the moon. The goddess who actually held that role was called Selene in Greek mythology, and in Roman mythology, Luna. Seems pretty clear to me."

So...yeah, some things outright changed, but I like seeing the connections between the post-VLR Uchikoshi interview and what we've already learned so far from ZTD. Also, Diana was specifically the one on the recording...so it seems that the timeline that leads to VLR will be one that has D-Team as the survivors. Which kind of makes sense with the bit about Sigma and Phi being the important ones for saving everyone; that Akane couldn't do it herself. Because she dies again in that timeline...wait...no, she and Junpei are clearly still alive in VLR...Goddamnit, Akane, did you set up another time loop where you save your past self's life?

And just a reminder: This is not me violating the "blind" aspect of these playthroughs. This is entirely information from before Zero Time Dilemma was even a thing.
