On "Zero Escape: Virtue's Last Reward"
I'm going to try to post what I learn in each room/route. I want to do it as I do each playthough so my experience of it won't be tainted by memory of other rooms. I'll probably do this in point form, and continue it in the Comments. One person on Twitter mentioned keeping track of everything in Excel XD My memory may be incorrect in some places--I

AB Game Round 3 Ally:
→Sigma picks Ally and Tenmyouji (& Quark) pick Betray (which really
pissed my off, they still would have had the BP needed if they choose
Ally. Maybe Tenmyouji didn't trust Sigma even though Sigma has done
nothing but keep his promises on that route. He even forgave Tenmyouji
and wanted to partner with him on the 2ND Round).
→Phi picks Betray and Dio picks Betray (Alice was partnered with Phi,
but she is dead & Dio has her Bracelet).
→Clover & Luna pick Betray and K picks Ally.
→Bracelet Colours:
Not really shown.
→Bracelet Points:
Sigma & Phi = 1BP
Clover, Tenmyouji, & Quark = 11BP
Dio & K = 6BP
Luna = 4BP
Alice (who is dead) = 3BP
→Sigma confronts Tenmyouji & Quark.
→Tenmyouji defends Quark.
→He says he only "promised" to not open the 9 Door once they got at least 9BP.
→Clover opens the 9 Door.
→Tenmyouji says he & Quark don't have to open the 9 Door because
Clover will for them.
→Sigma is so upset.
→Clover says she is going to go call the "others".
→That they need to capture Zero Sr.
→Tenmyouji admits he knows exactly who Zero Sr. is.
→Quark hands Sigma a 2 page letter he wrote for him before the AB Game Round 3.
→It is supposed to tell Sigma what kind of person Quark's grandfather is.
→Tenmyouji found Quark abandoned as a baby in the middle of a rain storm. Tenmyouji was never married or had any children so looking after Quark was hard. Quark was a very tiny child that's why Tenmyouji named him 'Quark'. Quark had 3 accidents/sicknesses that he survived when he was little, and Tenmyouji was scared he would die. Tenmyouji couldn't remember the baby formula recipe, so would always carry the instructions around with him as Quark was a fussy eater & wouldn't drink it if it wasn't exact. Quark grew into a very healthy & clever child. At 6 years-old he started helping Tenmyouji with his work. Tenmyouji's job was to go into abandoned buildings (there were lots of them) & take things to either fix or sell. He didn't even know he was adopted until another boy told him and implanted a fear that Tenmyouji only wanted him for someone to work (that boy had a mom that was his actual biological mother, which was also rare). Quark had that fear until he turned 7 years-old and Tenmyouji took him to the local bar and bought him a root beer float. Root beer was very expensive (more so than alcohol) and for Tenmyouji to buy him something so expensive/frivolous for a kid not even his own dispelled the fear. Once a week a mobile theatre would visit their town to show movies & old news clips. Quark would hurry to go every week, but Tenmyouji would only go occasionally & only to watch movies. Then one day Quark was working alone & had a horrible day, he gave-up & brought his grandfather just junk. They got into a fight and Quark ran-off (feeling like Tenmyouji considered the work more important than him/his bad day). Quark hid in an abandoned building. It started to rain so he stayed where he was (but also out of fear for feeling awful). Tenmyouji never found him all through the night, so Quark headed home to apologise. But he heard a groan and found a collapsed Tenmyouji who had been searching in the rain all night. Quark took him to the doctor and felt so, so guilty (his grandfather had heard him as a baby in the r in, but Quark had heard nothing). He promised to never ask for another root beer float or anything again if Tenmyouji would just be alright. Tenmyouji was very sick & had a very high fever.--But he did pull-through. Quark went to apologise but started crying instead and his grandfather apologised instead. He said that he was so old and was too strict because he wanted Quark to be able to do a good job & look after himself incase something happened. Quark finally admitted his fear of being unwanted. Tenmyouji told him that he had given-up a lot of things, his life, & himself searching for "a really important lady" and that since finding & raising Quark he felt like he had gotten some of that back. Quark vows to stay with him even if Tenmyouji says he can't.
→Fade to credits & "Tenmyouji - END".

Fuck, that made me bawl. Especially the part about the root beer float. [November 6TH has been a very hard day for me anyway (the anniversary of killing my Lorel off), and I've felt utterly alone & unwanted. So to read the Tenmyouji & Quark story today after the plot before just really set me off.] I'm also jealous a bit of Quark since I am 24 years-old and still don't feel wanted completely like that by my adoptive family. I don't care if Tenmyouji is old Junpei, it still made me cry. But it really buggers my shipping of Clover/Junpei if finding Quark as an old man is all the happiness he finds with searching for Akane. Junpei is my 3RD favourite 999 character (Snake, and detective Seven). He is such a wonderful dork, and I think because of Junpei's silliness I like him better than Sigma. Though I kept typing 'Sigma' as 'Junpei' last night XD

I'll do the AB Game Round 2 Betray for the Green route later today probably. Then I'll start the Magenta Door route. I probably won't be around after November the 13TH though.
I started this Lock thinking it'd be short and lead to an Ending. But after the Lock played a whole long route expanded from it and I was like "fuck o_o".
