Oh, and if we did start taking the girls with us into Eternum through our teleportation power (as I've speculated before will happen because it's now in a way safer than entering Eternum via the implant, since we would act as the exit portal), then it could be that in this moment when one of the girls die, their real body would just die, and they wouldn't turn into an NPC. If that is the case, then maybe instead the girl would get fatally injured, and we would have to quickly get them back to the real world, put their visor on (maybe not their Eternum suit because it's stated at the start that it's technically not necessary but might result in bugs), and then I guess.. kill them in Eternum as a last ditch effort to preserve their life by turning them into an NPC.
And if I had to put money on the girl that would die, it would unfortunately probably be Annie. I think given our history together, it would probably be the punchiest option narratively-speaking, and it would be kind of a cruel twist that the girl who was so addicted to Eternum ends up being the one trapped in it. I'm not sure, though. And it would likely have to come after whatever scene with Luna and Annie that Luna saw so that even Luna would be unsure what will happen. That could tie in nicely with our conversation with Luna where she said she would do necromancy to resurrect us if we died. That after having a threesome together (and everything leading up to it), Annie and Luna grow closer, and then when Annie is fatally wounded, we're freaking out and emotionally a wreck as we said we would be if Luna were to die, but then Luna is the one who comes up and tells us there's a way to save her and refocuses our emotions, and we put Annie into Eternum via the implant and kill her there to make her an NPC, planning to save her eventually, essentially accomplishing necromancy.
But separately from all that, I do really think one of the girls will become an NPC. It would provide a clear emotional hook for us to really want to and need to free the Eternum NPCs. We care already, but it's not our main focus. With one of the girls as an NPC, it becomes the foremost emotional and narrative priority.
