I’m so glad to see you post this because I was considering this exact same thing last night! If you don’t mind, I’m going to toss a little more circumstantial evidence in your ring.
As our resident K overanalyst, there’s a curious bit of foreshadowing that I’ve always wondered about. I know, I know, but bear with me for a minute.
In Luna’s route, a 5 BP Phi is stuck in a difficult position. She’s paired with a 6 BP Dio and facing off against a 6 BP K. If she betrays and K allies, Dio gets 6 BP and books it. But if she allies and K betrays, he’ll obviously bail, too. She could betray, but she’d need to ensure K also betrayed – otherwise, Dio would screw them both over.
Instead of that, she elects to put her faith in K. She locks Dio out of her AB room and – to my considerable surprise – K actually allies with her. Sigma and Phi were as confused as I was, and decided to ask about it. His answer was… interesting.
