In the Sigma and Phi endings, when he is exposed as the one who planted the bombs, Dio refuses to detonate the bombs by his own hand and some hesitation is seen in his eyes when Tenmyouji taunts him to detonate the bombs. However, considering Akane is an Esper and knows how the entire game will play out, she is probably just trolling Dio. Dio is shown to be highly irascible, mean and insensitive towards the other players. Eventually, he got intel from his detective firm that Akane joined the Mars Mission Test Site (Dcom) experiment and he used "force" and "coercion" to force his way in.
