"Glad you understand!" Takeru gets a hard slap on the back.

Finally, Captain Isumi gets ready to tell Takeru about the unit's motto. Takeru braces himself.

Tears are trickling down the corners of Takeru's eyes. Is it from joy at being reunited with Sumika, or is there something else?

Yuuko says that Takeru has passed his "interview". Takeru has won his place.

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

Sumika finally recognizes Takeru's presence. The chance to give her that carved wooden Santa rabbit he had prepared for her came.

Kasumi urges Takeru to talk to Sumika. Takeru readies himself to do so.

Christmas is coming soon. Sumika doesn't seem to be responding to his promise to give her a present, which he made to her when she was a child.

Sumika's seizures seem a little different than usual to Kasumi.

Takeru reports on the previous day's tuning. Sumika's various values have changed, but she is not progressing at the expected pace.

Alternative IV was based on the fact that the BETA did not recognize humans as a life form, information which was obtained through Alternative III.

Sumika had become something other than a person. No matter what harsh fate awaits her, it is better than being kept alive as a brainstem.
