Before you say anything, remember two things: the guy who literally broke the crowbar with his theets, and Tom takes out his head out of pure strength. Consider than to be able to chew a crowbar you need very good musculature in the neck, so his neck was probably harder than a crowbar.

I just noticed this inconsistency because my friend pointed it out to me.


** Pretty sure it was Ruby. [[spoiler: [[http://evilcorporation.com.br/rubyquest/scene-508.html Red assaults Ruby]] when she's looking into the box. Afterwards [[http://evilcorporation.com.br/rubyquest/scene-513.html Ace looks into the box]] and she reaches out her hand, but it's not clear whether he let her out or not.

** [[spoiler:That is part of the cure. When a subject dies, it comes back to life without any mutation (As can be seen when she gets her third eye, and had advanced a lot earlier so she probably had it before). It can be assumed that from time to time Tom killed everything out of rage, and it came to life again.

* This troper has been over Ruby Quest multiple time and most all of the loose ends seem to tie up one way or another, but there's still one thing I don't understand... If Ruby and Tom have been through the facility at least three times... WHY HASN'T TOM ALREADY GLEEFULLY FUCKED THE SHIT OUT OF EVERYTHING BEFORE??!!

** [[spoiler: It was his. My guess is that in a previous loop, Tom had just discovered Ruby's past life treachery and the fact that they kept doing the same things again and again, and, assuming he was subject 5, wrote a message to himself in future loops out of fear and anger so that his future self wouldn't trust the supposedly-backstabbing Ruby, and never had the chance to erase the message once he and Ruby were getting along again, if they even got along again at all.]]

* Spoiler for the ending: If Tom [[spoiler:was actually #6 rather than #5,]] then why when he saw the note about not trusting [[spoiler:#7 (Ruby) in #5's locker (which would be Tom Nook's) did he identify it as his own handwriting? Shouldn't it be in Tom Nook's handwriting instead?]]
