**Destination Atami END**, commonly referred to as **Atami Route** or **Atami END**, is a Joke Ending route featured in *AI: THE SOMNIUM FILES - nirvanA Initiative*.

During his investigation into the Half Body Serial Killings, Kuruto Ryuki suddenly finds himself possessed with the desire to run off to Atami with the receptionist at Lemniscate.

The Atami Ending is a joke ending that can be obtained during the course of Explosion Route or Komeji and Shoma Route. It is the only ending, besides **閭陜ｶ荵句邱ｨ END**, obtained from a dialogue option. It is obtained during "2/13 Ryuki Chapter 3 - Farewell" by talking to Ritsuko Enshu during the free move investigation at the Lemniscate Entertainment Offices.

Atami END is the seventh ending of the game, based on the order of achievements. It is the first ending that is available to be obtained.

## Story Overview

While investigating the mysterious murder of Jin Furue, Ryuki received a call from Iris Sagan, telling him that she had information that could be helpful to the case. She had a recording to attend to, however, so asked him to stop by Lemniscate later to meet with her. Iris completed her recording and then met Ryuki in the Lemniscate lobby alongside Ota Matsushita and Moma Kumakura, who had stopped by to not-so-discreetly hang out with their favourite idol. After introductions, the Masked Woman also made her entrance, silently taking a seat away from the group.

Despite the array of strange characters and intriguing points to follow, Ryuki found himself drawn instead to the woman behind the reception desk. Ryuki suddenly told her to run away with him to Atami, to the surprise of the receptionist, Tama... and Ryuki himself, who didn't know why he'd been overcome with the urge to go to Atami. Nevertheless, he continued pleading with her to run away with him, Tama getting increasingly annoyed and concerned inside of his eye socket. Eventually, after Ryuki asked her five times to run away to Atami, Ritsuko relented and agreed to go with him. Ryuki took Tama out of his eye socket, left her on the reception desk, and then drove off in his limousine with Ritsuko in tow.

Ryuki and Ritsuko arrived in Atami and settled down together. Ryuki gave up his life as a police officer and instead became a staff member at one of the hot spring inns. The Half Body Serial Killings were never resolved, and the fate of the rest of the cast was left a mystery. A happy ending for everyone.

## Trivia

* Based on the image used in the achievement, this ending can also potentially be unofficially referred to as the "Ritsuko END" or "Receptionist END."

* Prior to the 1.02 Patch, the ending card for this route read "Complete". This was updated to read "Fin." instead, matching with the ending card for the Atami END in the first game.
* The event of running away to Atami with Ritsuko is referenced in other conversations with her later in the game:
	+ When talking to Ritsuko in "2/15 Ryuki Chapter 5 R1 - Not All A Dream":
		- If the player has *not* obtained Atami END and asks Ritsuko to go to Atami, Ritsuko will say that she's not in the mood, but would've been if she'd been asked two days ago.
		- If the player *has* obtained Atami END and asks Ritsuko to go to Atami, Ritsuko whines "Again?!" and asks to be taken somewhere else. This suggests that Ritsuko remembers the alternate timeline where Ryuki took her to Atami.
	+ When talking to Ritsuko in "2/13 Mizuki Chapter 3 - The Expense of Spirit", she will ask if Mizuki is trying to seduce her into running away to Atami with her.
