June wiki.

... no matter how I explain this, it will be confusing, so just go with it.

There were two Nonary Games; one in "present" day, and one nine years ago. Akane was involved in both. The whole idea behind the game (the first, at least) is that 9 pairs of siblings (18 in all) were separated, 9 to a boat out in the middle of the ocean, and 9 to a building labeled "Q".

The idea is that one sibling, the one in the building, transmits messages through this morphic field, to their sibling on the boat, who receives this message, and uses it to protect their life. In Akane's case, she was the transmitter and her brother, Aoi, was the receiver. Unfortunately, they made a mistake. Akane was placed on the boat. It doesn't seem important now, but I promise, it is.

So the kids in the boat worked their way off to the ninth door, and inevitably, there were only a few of them left. They got trapped in an Incinerator, and to be straight forward, it wasn't looking good. That is, until a totally random guy popped in through a vent. Wow, awesome. So he pulled them all up, and they scurried on away, looking for another way out. And Akane was following, that is, until she realized that she left her doll behind.

So she went back to get it.

Unfortunately, when she went back one of the men in charge of the game captured her and threw her right back into the Incinerator. Well, shit. In the last 20 seconds before the room would be engulfed in fire, a small puzzle popped up from the center. Even more unfortunately, because she didn't have anyone to transmit information to her, she was pretty much stuck there until she burned to death.

Oh wait, but I said she would be in two Nonary Games, didn't I?

Rather than let herself die, Akane searched for someone, anyone, who could give her any type of information. That was when she connected with Junpei...

... Nine years into the future.

See, the whole idea behind the second Nonary Game was to have Junpei transmit data to the past Akane, in order to allow her to live into the future. So, yes, Future!Akane was the one who began the second game, and Future!Aoi was the one who made it all happen.

... got that?
