I have to admit, this game threw some red herrings at me. The fact that Sigma specified "before 2009", after having previously said that Phi was born in 2008, seemed all too obvious. That's where the babies were sent, right? But according to Delta, they were actually sent to 1904. Both of them. So how did Phi end up in this century at this age? I of course can't help but notice that D-Team's phrase could clearly have "Zero" as one of its words. But anyway, what was Junpei thinking trying to connect Q and 10? Then again, we saw eight spare bodies for Q in the Quantum Computer Dome, along with the one he was using. That, too, would make ten with the addition of Delta/Brother/Zero. And on that note...I was so fixated on the error message "enter Q's name" that I completely failed to key on the fact that inputting "Zero" gave an equally custom error message: "Identity not known". Which it is now; it's Delta Klim. Full disclosure; when I went to that walkthrough and learned that my failing was never simply allowing the 20-second timer on Eric's demand for a killer to run out, I had already learned the name "Sean 729" and was kind of curious what I was doing wrong. I got as far as highlighting one letter before deciding that that wasn't the path I wanted to take. A D. Once I learned that Phi's twin brother was named "Delta", I had a hunch that that was the "D" I needed, but I wasn't about to test it without finding the answer in-game. But even then, I didn't key on the correct path. My assumption was that unlike Phi, Delta had been renamed by his adoptive parents. That he was Sean.

But first, we've got more after the credits. Junpei's angry at Carlos, because it turns out that the history he chose to SHIFT to after getting stranded by the exploding transporter was the only one where he knew he would still be alive. The one where he pushed the yellow button. Oh, that's why! "I can't leave with you guys. I made a promise in another history that I'd definitely save you two..." And then he went back in time ten months, and waited. Akane asks why he didn't use that time to stop Zero's plan, and Carlos says if he did that, he wouldn't have met them, right? ...Why does that actually make sense? That shouldn't make sense. This game, this series already has a buttload of stable time loops, from 12-year-old Akane only being able to save her own life because she was already 21 nine years later to baby Phi being sent back in time with a pendant obtained from 20-year-old Phi. Junpei says that that's a hell of a thing Carlos did. Mira and Eric died; Sigma lost his arms and an eye and he's in the hospital. Akane adds that the first Radical-6 patients have left. What happened today is going to result in six billion dead people. This is the end, and Akane has to start over from the beginning. They'll start now, and spend the next 45 years preparing for her plan. In 45 years, she'll call Sigma and Phi's consciousnesses to the future. Junpei volunteers to join her, join Crash Keys. Akane says he can't. She needs him to forget everything. And she's taken the face of the bracelet and stabbed him with it. The memory loss drugs. Akane says she'll never forget him...but please, forget her. He needs to forget. He says he doesn't want to...he'll never forget. No matter what happens, he won't. Carlos asks why she did it as Junpei passes out. She says she does it to accomplish her goals. Even if she loses her life, she'll make the AB Project a success.

...I feel like I still might've skipped a step. Inputting Delta causes Q to spin around and apologize, and fire away from the other two. And there's an anguished sound. "Sean, you..." Mira says, "Out of all your choices, you kill him?" Audentum Forsque Venusque iuvat. This is yet another destiny. This is called "Perceptive End". Huh, that was short. I guess I was fine after all.
