Sumika continues to flail about in Takeru's arms. Perhaps her mind is flooded with memories of when she was captured by the BETA...

When they hear that Vice Commander Kouzuki has a special mission for him, they give up, trying not to push him too hard. Takeru apologizes for not saying so from the start.

Takeru asks if there were any memorable events in "this world" between Takeru and Sumika that Kasumi has read.

After seeing how strong Takeru was as a trainee, seeing him this successful isn't much of a surprise.

If it's a mission, his teammates say, that's more important. They're worried about Takeru’s return, but send him off with smiles on their faces. He appreciates their kindness.

Kagami Sumika was the only human being who was taken prisoner by the BETA and returned alive, albeit as only a brainstem.

Sumika reveals her desire to slaughter the BETA. Without knowing who is in front of her...

Sumika's memories in Takeru's mind are all happy ones. If they can deliver a lot of happy feelings, it will surely help Sumika regain herself!

The brainstem has been removed from the cylinder. That was Sumika's brainstem…

August 5th, 1999. Operation Lucifer. In the depths of Yokohama Hive, the only person to be captured by the BETA and survive is found.

Takeru was simply happy that Sumika wasn't in this world, and avoided thinking any more about what the brainstem might be because he was scared of the implications. It meant no more to him than that.

Takeru continues to talk to her, but she doesn't seem to respond. Time to get silly…
