Continuation of this post (bc it'd be wayyyy too long if I put all of this in a reblog):
Special Episode #8! I actually saved this one for last, knowing that it would be the one that I was the most interested in. I love that the menu even tells you that this one isn't going to be a 4th-wall-breaking silly-fest like the others are.
I told you their hair looked closer to the same shade in-game! God, seeing them side by side like this just really reinforces the siblings headcanon. As does them dramatically pointing their weapons at each other!
Unhinged. I love them so much.
Zacky-boy I love you so much Rouge. Get his ass.
(Also fun fact: More Chalices is actually solved by Phoenix in chapter 5, so he's already kicked Barnham's ass both in and out of the courtroom 💙.)
And then, we come to the flashback.
Given this dialogue, and given that she states this is the "first time he set foot in this tavern", AND given the whole mass-hypnosis thing, I headcanon that the two of them forgot they were siblings once they joined Project Labyrinthia, but there's still something that draws them to the other that they can't quite remember (à la Espella and Eve).
(Also given the whole "people wanting to forget their old life and start anew" being the volunteers for Project Labyrinthia, I also headcanon that it was Zacharias that wanted to leave his old life behind, and Rouge came along as the older sibling to make sure he'd be okay.)
I'm not going to put any screenshots of the Constantine origin story here because I took screenshots of basically every single line of dialogue and we'd be here forever and also this post is about the siblings, but to summarize: I Would Die For Zacharias Barnham, And Constantine Is The Sweetest Bestest Boy Ever.
GET HIS ASS x2!!! Definitely the older sibling. Also I had to grab this sprite of Rouge - she's too damn cute!:
Bonus: grabbed a screenshot of the locations gallery entry for Rouge's tavern:
