Before she left, though, she spoke to Takeru. What Jinguuji-sensei would’ve wanted was for everyone to overcome this sadness.

Meiya tells Takeru that the living have a duty to make the sacrifices of the dead mean something, and that he’s here of his own will.

She gave him the formula. They should have no more to discuss. Yuuko asks jokingly if he plans to take her with him.

Takeru invites her back to his old world. But that’s just hypocrisy, as he seeks an escape from the insane world he's found himself in.

Her plans for Takeru's birthday were derailed after the murder. Sumika offers to take him out to celebrate, too, but only the answering machine knows that...

Marimo comes in, too. Takeru came here to talk to Marimo.

When she was a young rookie, she had a baseless self-confidence too. It ended up getting all her comrades brutally killed.

The Surface Pilots participating as Red Team are all veterans with over 20 combat sorties.

The veterans tell Takeru he's obligated to answer the questions of a superior officer. Takeru has no choice but to tell the veterans that yes, he is the one behind the new OS.

In the blackness, he can hear the sound of his own heart beating. The sound of explosions and vibrations breaks the silence. Is that the sound of the BETA tearing apart his machine?

He's told that there’s no time to argue, and that he has to go before the Laser Class arrive, but still he insists. The rest of his platoon intervenes to persuade him.

Takeru gets annoyed at himself, too. He's been forced to use hypnotic suggestions and drugs, and treated like an errand boy. He's better than this, he says.
