* In the hidden ending, Clover says that Akane told her and Alice that there was a way to send their bodies back in time, too. She's referring to the transporter that Akane herself used to get to this timeline in the Mars Mission Test Facility, since ''VLR'' follows from the timeline where Team C was killed in the 1:30 vote.

Uncanny Valley is IUEO now and the subjective version has been split; cleaning up misuse and ZCE in the process

* Because of the game's 3D art style, some of the characters end up on the wrong end of the UncannyValley. Luna by far is the hardest to look in the eye. After the RoboticReveal, however, I immediately understood why K rejected her. I don't know if that was intentional (especially since everyone else is much easier on the eyes in their own ways), but if it was, that's one hell of an IntendedAudienceReaction, not least of which is due to K eventually coming under the control of the player.

It took only four months for the complete collapse of humanity, and for the survivors to decide to kill thousands of people directly, and then millions more through a nuclear winter.

* Tenmyouji's general hostility towards Sigma makes a ''lot'' more sense in retrospect. Tenmyouji often comments about not needing "[Sigma] of all people" to look out for him or Quark. From his perspective Sigma would be coming across as incredibly patronising, acting like he was the more naturally youthful and resourceful out of the two of them.

* Thinking deeper on it, it might seem confusing why Luna is still viewing and processing everything at the same speed as everyone else. Given that, as a robot, she shouldn't be affected by Radical-6 that would slow down her processing power. However, the answer comes fairly clearly from the same answer. She's a robot! She, or even Akane, could simply intentionally slow down her processing power and reaction speed, to keep her in time with everyone else. And if, for whatever reason, she accidentally became a bit too slow or too fast before the reveal of what she was, she could just pass it off as stress or side effects from being knocked out with the gas, and then readjust herself to get back in time with the rest.

** It also explains why Sigma is so strong yet he's often slow to run after people. His arm strength remains in his prime, but his leg and lung strength are probably par for the course for even a man his age in peak physical condition.
