GNOSIA (グノーシア)

I'm in my own room?

Does that mean I've looped again?

But...

I'm surprised... you figured it out.

Honestly, I was fooled, too... until I realized it during today's meeting.

But didn't you investigate me as the Engineer?

Sorry to say it,

but even humans lie...

Are you kidding me?

We put Remnan into cold sleep, I survived,

and we succeeded in getting rid of all the Gnosia.

Knowing the truth is no simple matter.

Survive this loop.

If you manage that, I will tell you everything.

Does this mean that I'm supposed to go see Yuriko?

Or...

Is this still not full enough?

Oh, Yuri. You're awake already.

Comet...

We're all in the cafeteria eating right now. Wanna join us?

TRUTH

So I've been thinking...

-About what? -Aren't you just naked, Shigemichi?

-I'm not! -Wait, really?

-I'm wearing clothes here! -Ah, Yuri.

Oh, hey. Did you recover already?

You were hurt pretty badly, weren't you?

Huh? Yeah...

Yeah, there was, like, stuff sticking out.

Come on, bud. Don't talk about gross stuff when we're eating here.

I see... So I was hurt.

That's why I got carried into the medical pod to receive treatment.

Come to think of it, I wasn't in the pod this time.

Every time I loop, I always wake up in that pod.

You'd better thank Setsu, too, Yuri.

Thank Setsu?

Yeah! If it weren't for Setsu,

we wouldn't have been able to escape Liu-An

without being infected by the Gnosia.

I'm grateful to Setsu, too.

It's just, my gratitude kinda morphed into lust.

Y'know, maybe it was a mistake to save Sha-ming.

You may be right.

Infected by the Gnosia...

U-Um...

Hm? What's up?

Well, um... Are we gonna have the meeting?

Meeting?

For what?

Er... Never mind.

Yuri...

Did you, like, lose your memories, or something?

Do you know my name?

Er, yeah, I'm fine. You're SQ, right?

Oh! Well done, lovely Yuri!

Sorry. I have to use the bathroom.

There's no meeting.

They didn't even know what I meant by "meeting."

Then...

LeVi.

How may I assist you?

Do you detect any Gnosia on board the ship?

Negative. I do not.

Due to Setsu's quick guidance,

this vessel successfully avoided any Gnosia infection.

I knew it.

So that's what's going on.

This is a world line where no one's been infected by the Gnosia.

Maybe the truth is here.

Would you refrain from making me repeat myself?

It's absolutely clear that the optimal choice is to set course for Glyze.

Racio, please... It's okay.

I'd like to hear your opinion about this, Setsu, since you're in the military.

What is it?

If you'll entertain a foolish old man's idea, I think we should set course

for a nearby military base so that we can notify the proper authorities of Liu-An.

The "foolish" part is right.

If we end up in military custody, just think of all the reports,

inspections, and who knows what else? I can't imagine how long they'll hold us.

Well, you heard them.

Right...

Setsu should be the one to decide.

Then no one'll have to argue.

I'll be making a report about Liu-An myself,

so I don't think there's any need to stop by a base.

Are you certain?

According to interstellar regulations, if Gnosia infection occurs,

-we must immediately— -But no one on this ship is infected.

So we don't need to follow those regulations.

Well, this is a surprise!

Setsu, you're more cooperative than I thought you'd be.

Hm. So be it.

We will set course for the Glyze star system as Racio requests.

Racio...

No need to thank me. I just want to hurry up and get back to Glyze.

No, I get it.

You knew that if we went to a base,

they'd find out that I ran away unlawfully and capture me.

Hmph. I'm sure everyone here thinks this already, but...

Remnan, you're rather creepy.

Huh?

Um, Jonas...

If we're heading to Glyze, could you stop by Dr. Yoshikado's place on the way?

But of course. This, too, is fate.

I shall take you all to your desired destinations.

Yay!

Everyone's here other than Yuriko.

There's nothing untoward going on.

So the truth I came here to find...

Yuri, is something bothering you?

Huh? No, I'm fine. I think that's a good idea, too.

There aren't any Gnosia infectees here.

Everyone managed to safely get on board the ship.

Is there really anything hidden about the mystery involving the loops in this world?

In fact, this is the world we all wanted...

So is there actually information I need to discover here?

Kukrushka...

"Soon"?

Is something about to happen?

The universe will... end?

Soon?

What's that mean? What's going to happen...

to this universe?

An anomalous lifeform has been detected within the sick bay.

I repeat.

An anomalous lifeform has been detected within the sick bay.

An anomalous lifeform...?

The sick bay...

That's where I always wake up.

Yuri!

Setsu, what's going on?

I'm not sure.

LeVi seems to have detected a lifeform that shouldn't exist.

It could be an error in the detection software,

or something might've snuck on board.

Let's go see.

You didn't notice anything when you woke up?

Huh?

Apparently, the presence was detected

in the vicinity of the pod where you were being treated.

You've been looping, right?

Huh?

Don't worry. There aren't any Gnosia infectees in this world line.

There's no need to lie.

There's a possibility that something else got onto the ship in place of the Gnosia.

Setsu...

I didn't wake up there.

Huh?

I didn't actually wake up in the pod during this loop.

Then...

I'm not sure... but...

There's no way.
