Zero Context 8: locked in the pod

Content note: brief mention of incest in relation to YU-NO around 51:00

Axe and Nathalie groggily awake sometime after the start of Virtue’s Last Reward, only to discover they’ve been locked inside a cryogenic pod! Struggling against limited oxygen, they race through a blur of incomplete discoveries: Dio’s an imposter, K has daddy issues, and Sigma really needs to start writing things down. As the hallucinations set in, Nathalie discovers a set of additional rules that might just let her escape this twisted game if she can predict how it all ends. Voting closes in 3…2…1…
