    Got done in by Akinari. Ja feel, man. After all, if there's one thing MegaTen excels at, it's hurling Almighty damage at players who think they've got stuff under control.

    I will never forgive myself for only getting to Akinari's 9th link. I was so close. That's what NG+ is for I guess, which I'll be doing but I still really wanted to experience it during my first go.
    The ending got me good though. I thought he was actually just tired, but when I realized he was dying I was so sad, bro.
