I have a question that's been bugging me about Sigma. Huge spoilers follow for VLR.

Spoiler

What causes his dramatic personality shift between the end of VLR and him working on the AB game on the moon?

Kyle's father sounds NOTHING like the sigma we know. If it had been Sigma from after the events of ZTD then sure I could understand, but this Sigma is the one who was abducted, played the nonary game then spent the next few decades working on the AB game.

Actually that just reminded me of something else.

Spoiler

What's up with Zero Senior's whole speech on termites and 4th dimensions? Is he referencing Akane/the players/God/an unnamed greater entity being able to see a bigger picture than the characters in the game or am I just overthinking it?

Discovering the world ended and you're probably the only hope will do wonders for your personality.

I don't think it has to be much more than that.

Don't remember spoiler #2 but for spoiler #1:

Spoiler

that's probably what going through the traumatic experience that is VLR, then working on the moon for decades, a long time of which you spend completely alone, knowing that the burden of saving the world is on your shoulders would do to you.

I guess that does make sense. It's just such a shock to see

Spoiler

the Sigma from VLR turn into someone entirely different. I would've thought he'd still understand that Kyle wanted a real mother, not a GAULEM.

Spoiler

This is actually what worries me about Zero Time Dilemma, the Sigma in this game is the bitter older Sigma. Even if they succeed will he ever return to how he was before? Or will his consciousness swap with post VLR young Sigma?
