I struggle sleeping too. But, I don’t think anyone should put their sleep down to get a good ending! It’s okay to miss night chats. If you’re awake or want to do that chat, you always can, but doing those chats from 12am-4am aren’t a deal-breaker to good endings. It’s good that you’ve worked out a system for yourself, though. 

There’s a way to do it and still get sleep. Like, I would wake up really early on some days to do the chat around 3am-5am around 6am and then go back to bed until the 8am-10am chat. It’s not all that hard but it just depends on how much sleep you want and how much of the game you want. You can always replay later, but don’t make yourself lose sleep if you can. 

Spoiler warning, obviously. 

I think you took out of my mouth. I was upset that V would go back to that toxic relationship when we spent all that time trying to reassure him and let him know that we’re there for him, just as we’re there for Saeran who has been his main concern from the start. He always wanted to get Saeran out of that place so he could take down what Rika created so nobody else gets hurt. 

I thought that he sincerely understood that he needed help from what we talked to him about because he was trying to help us get out of that place because our choices prompted us to nearly wind up in a similar position to him with Rika in the power balance. Just seeing that I assumed, would give him the power to realize and choose the option of asking for help.

I thought, as day ten was coming to an end, that he was going to try and help us but the more and more that I realized what was happening, him giving the info to Jumin, him trying to close himself off more and more, I knew that he wasn’t just going to come with us. I knew that he was going to do something bad for himself and for Rika. 

They don’t need to be together. They need to be as far from each other as humanly possible; He needs to grow and heal on his own with therapy, and she needs to go to jail and work on herself there but never contact anyone. She and V are not good for each other. They fuel a toxic cycle that will only lead to more misery. 

He was wearing his trademark sunglasses from Common/Deep Route in that last few minutes, and I could only assume that she went and blinded him again, but that’s just my speculation. His vision was to a point where he could barely see with one eye. So, I fear for him in that regard. Rika seems to have left the cult, maybe(?) I have doubts about that. 

It seems like they may be on the run together, that’s what I saw. They burn down the spot that was the event that made Rika finally lose what semblance of her control that she had. After that, she decided that she liked the taste of power and that Mika was right, her devil that was always told to exist within her could really flourish if she kept pushing forward. If they said she was the devil, she would become that devil. 

Her inadvertently killing the Choi’s mother in self-defense was her tipping point, for sure, but that’s for another post. 

It is my hope that we can help V or at the very least, take Rika down with Saeran. He told us himself in that ending that you two will have to tell the RFA about what happened. It can’t happen while they’re looking for Saeyoung, but he wants to tell. He wants to ask V about it, because hell, even Saeran has realized that V is a victim here. 

We, the MC, only have a vague notion of what he’s going to do but we have no proof nor do we know enough to say anything to Saeran. God, that’s the only part of the ending that sincerely worried me for V. I know that Saeyoung will have to be okay, he just has to be okay, but that isn’t a part of the ending that upset me.
