## Trivia

### General

* Of all the album images of Aiba and Tama goofing around, only the ones given in Nefarious Institute (Chapter 1: Chikara A), Nostalgic Idol (Chapter 1: Kizuna A), Necessary Intervention (Chapter 2: Gen A), Neurotic Inception (Chapter 3: Masked Woman B), and Nonentity Incognito (Chapter 4: Tearer A) are images taken within their respective Somnia. All other images are taken in the real-world counterparts of those locations, noticeable by the day/evening/night lightning, the sky color, and/or lack of any visual effects from that Somnium.
	+ The two images from Necessary Intervention are supposed to be paired together, with human Aiba eating a meal that AI-Ball Aiba is sitting inside. Despite this, the version focusing on human Aiba is taken within the Somnium, while the version focusing on AI-Ball Aiba is taken in the real-world location.

### References to Media and Pop Culture

* The album image rewarded from Nonentity Incognito (Chapter 4: Tearer A) of Aiba holding a bloodied barbell is a reference to a scene from *999* (spoiler). This is particularly fitting as the owner of the Somnium, Tearer, is a *Zero Escape* fan in-universe.
* The album image rewarded from Novel Ingress (Chapter 4: Lien A) of Aiba leaping upwards against a red background is a reference to the superhero Ultraman, specifically his 1966 "Rising" pose.
