In Ray's route, Saeran still goes by both names. On the last days of Ray's route and V's AE, both alters integrate again and become one. Saeran is significantly less careful and more rushed with his hacking. Ray's skills are more meticulous and considered better than Seven. As hackers, Ray and Saeran have different skill sets. Saeran thinks lowly of Ray and considers him weak while Ray is terrified of Saeran taking over. The two alters are aware of each other and seem to be able to communicate with one another. In his own route, he resorts to starving her (reminiscent of his own mother's torture) and mocking her in the chatroom. This Saeran also has no qualms about force-feeding V and other believers with the elixir and openly degrading the player with insults and ridicule. Saeran, however, is very aggressive, arrogant and demeaning the complete opposite of his delicate and gentle self before his induction to Mint Eye. Later, it's revealed Ray is an alter of Saeran, born of the select traits. However, he's also highly possessive of the player and deeply afraid of losing her. He loves gardening and knows the symbolic meaning of each flower. Besides being focused on tending to the player's comfort inside Magenta, he's an excellent hacker and programmer. He has a welcoming and charming demeanor towards the player and is very open about showing affection towards her. He tries to trick the player into thinking the characters in the game are AIs programmed by himself and incites her into making them reveal their secrets.

He explains he's an app developer and needs the player's help to test "his game" (which is actually not a game but the RFA chat app itself). In Another Story, the player becomes the major focus of Ray who's obsessed with keeping the player by his side and secretly grooming her to join Mint Eye. By the end of 707's Secret Ending, Saeran is a lot calmer and quieter compared to how he was before, thus marking his road to recovery and becoming his own person. Slowly, he begins to see his brother's unconditional love and starts his healing process, which leads him to make amends with the RFA and 707. After being rescued from Mint Eye following a major mental breakdown, Saeran's aggressiveness escalates and he refuses to trust anyone ever again due to his deep fear that he will be betrayed and abandoned again. Saeran only begins to overcome his emotional trauma in 707's route and his Secret Ending. Saeran despises the fact he is not as great at hacking as 707 is, thus growing bitter that even after all these years he's still the weaker sibling. Yet despite this, he remained hopeful and looked up to his big brother, to the point that he eventually learns to hack as well. However, it is revealed that he is simply a victim, subject to years of manipulation, brainwashing and drugging by Rika which has led him to become severely mentally unstable.Īs a young child, Saeran was a lot kinder and gentler, often seen as the "weaker" twin compared to his brother, and as a result, bore the brunt of much of the physical abuse his mother subjected both him and 707 to. His faith in his Savior leads Saeran to believe that what he's doing is for the good of other people and that he's helping them by leading them to Mint Eye and, therefore, to paradise.

Saeran's devotion to Mint Eye makes him one of its most faithful followers to the point he even has its symbol tattooed upon his entire upper right arm. Admitedly, this is a last resort for him as he would much rather recruit the MC into Mint Eye. It is his particular hatred of 707 that has Saeran make one of his main goals to be taking revenge on 707, with his anger and animosity stemming from when 707 left Saeran at a young age, and this left Saeran feeling as if he was abandoned.Īs such, Saeran is willing to do everything he must in order to inflict as much pain and damage as he can onto 707, even going so far as to hurt the MC, and even killing her in order to take his revenge against 707. Much of what drives Saeran is his deep hatred towards both V and 707, seeing the two of them as being 'traitors, 'liars', and 'hypocrites'. Although he attempts to achieve this through forceful and even violent means. However, he also sees himself as being an "angel" that will lead the RFA and the MC to "salvation" in his paradise. Throughout the story, Saeran is seen to be manipulative, tactful and sly as he manages to trick the MC into going into Rika's apartment.
