Yo! Yo, yo! Are you, like, awake?
SQ...
Can you stand?
I'm back?
Hm? What do you mean by that?
Er, nothing...
What are you doing here, SQ?
Hm? Setsu said I should come and get you, since we're both Guard Duty.
Both Guard Duty...?
Yup! We didn't leave the ship at Liu-An during the whole Gnosia mess.
You and cute li'l SQ.
EPISODE 11: 511
This probably means there'll be new information here again.
No! Why...?
Why? You know why.
It's because I love you, Remmy.
Hm?
What's wrong?
Oh, nothing.
I was just thinking they were really pretty... your nails.
Oooh! I know, right?
You've done well to notice, my good sir!
So... who else is on board?
Huh? Um... There's you, me, Setsu, Remmy...
Jonas, Kukrushka, Chipie, Shigemichi, and Yuriko.
Nine of us.
Two Gnosia have been detected,
and there is one each of the Engineer, Doctor, and Guardian Angel.
Furthermore, as Yuri and SQ
remained on the ship as Guard Duty, it is confirmed that they are human.
All right. Let's start the meeting.
Kukrushka and Jonas...
Why do you know about Kukrushka?
I don't recall ever letting you meet her.
Since Kukrushka is here,
I should be able to ask Jonas about her without him getting suspicious like before.
But...
What should I ask?
I was told there were two of her...
But does that mean this one is a doll, too?
First...
If you have Engineer credentials, make yourself known.
And do your sworn duty.
I'm the Engineer, bud.
I'll check out someone tonight to see if they're a Gnosia.
W-Wait...
I'm the Engineer.
So there's two of 'em.
And what about the Doctor?
No response, I see.
They do say that the deeper the river, the more silent it flows...
The Doctor is only able to use their ability after someone is put into cold sleep.
It wouldn't be in their interest to declare themselves right now.
It appears as though this is all of the information we can currently obtain.
Now, how shall we proceed with the festivities?
Well, why don't we ask the two confirmed humans what they think?
There's not much I can say...
But it's dangerous to freeze the Engineers before we hear their reports.
Meaning...
We'll be choosing from the remaining five after excluding the Engineers and Guard Duty.
This is difficult. We can't clearly tell anyone's suspicious with what we have.
The votes will probably be divided.
Kukrushka...
Ah... Even frozen, her beauty remains unchanged.
As though it's been sealed in ice forevermore.
Well, that's out.
Now that Kukrushka's been put into cold sleep,
I won't be able to ask Jonas about her in this loop.
The more I loop, the more things I don't understand.
Yuriko is definitely hiding something...
and I don't know why Kukrushka, who's a doll, did what she did,
or why Remnan is always cowering in fear.
I still don't know any of those things.
Right now, I'm just going to have to work hard to fill this thing up.
Yay, it's lovely Yuri!
SQ...
Ooh, what's that thing? It's pretty!
Oh, uh...
It's almost time for the warp...
Yeah, I know.
But I thought we should have a little chat before that, y'know?
So, you and I have been, like, confirmed as humans, right?
That means we're soulmates that don't have to suspect each other.
I see... This is the first time SQ and I have been on Guard Duty.
Does this mean the information I'm supposed to find could be...
What? Am I not good enough to be your soulmate?
Then... should we see how far we can take this?
Huh? No, I...
Oh, right...
If I'm going to get information about SQ, I need to be friendlier to her.
Y-Yeah! Let's take this as far as we can go!
Huh?
Huh? Did I say something wrong?
Your eyes are a bit scary...
I was just kidding, y'know?
I didn't expect you to be, like, so gung-ho, Yurinchy.
Yeah, never mind. See ya.
Argh! I'm such an idiot!
What the heck was I saying?! Of course she was kidding!
How many times have I talked to SQ before?!
That's right. SQ is always joking around like that.
There's no way she'd be serious.
Ah, Chipie. Have you seen SQ?
Yeah, I did. I think she went...
The shower room...
This place again.
SQ? SQ?
Whoa!
Huh? What's up?
No! Wait! You've got the wrong idea!
I wasn't trying to...
What? You interested in my bod, bud?
Yeah, whatever.
What's this?
Did you actually come looking for cute li'l SQ?
Y-Yeah...
Really? Why, though?
Er, well, you came to talk to me, and I ended up saying something weird.
So I'm sorry.
So, who do you think is a Gnosia, Yurinchy?
Hm...
Honestly, I think it's a bit difficult to narrow it down yet.
How about you, SQ?
Oh, I dunno.
But out of the two Engineers, I think Shigemichi's a li'l more sus.
Why is that?
Well, I don't think Remmy's able to lie that boldly.
If he did, I think it'd show more on his face.
It's all about love, baby.
That face... I guess you do remember, Papa.
Papa...
Hm? What?
Is Remnan... your papa, SQ?
"Papa"? What do you mean by that?
Er, nothing. Never mind.
Right. You want to know who I think is suspicious.
Jonas is sticking out for me.
You know...
Yuri...
You're hiding something, aren't you?
Huh?
You know way too much for an amnesiac.
You can't fool my nose, partner.
Y-You think so?
Anyway, if you don't wanna tell me, you don't have to.
Who knows? We might end up disappearing either way.
What should I do?
Even if I try to play it off,
I don't think I have the acting skills to fully commit.
So you've collected all this knowledge throughout your loops, Yurinchy?
Yeah.
So there's probably more information and knowledge
that I don't know about everyone on this world line.
Ah, so that must be why you came to ask me about Remmy.
Huh?
Yeah, sorta...
I see.
Well, I can't blame you. It can be hard to tell what's a joke or not.
I guess no one would try to get close to me without a reason like that.
Huh?
Okay! Then let me fill you in on cute li'l SQ!
You seemed to be on the right track about Remmy, too.
Really?
You seem happy.
Well, yeah. I've been curious this whole time.
Okay, time for an SQ quiz! First question, ba-bam!
Why is my name "SQ"?
Huh? SQ?
Is the S short for something?
Um, uh...
Tick tock, tick tock...
Bzzt! Yurinchy is out!
You won't be going to the next stage!
What?!
Just kidding.
Let's start counting alphabetically from A, B, C...
all the way to Z.
After that,
if we kept counting using AA, AB, AC, and so on,
what number would SQ be?
Um... There are 26 letters in the alphabet...
So...
It's 511.
Meaning cute li'l SQ over here is a spare.
The 511th created.
A spare...?
Yep. More precisely...
My mama... Oh, her name is Manan...
I'm the 511th new body for her to use so that she can be young again.
That's me.
So you're not... human?
It's really hard to define what is human and what isn't...
but if anything artificially created is out, then I guess I'm not human.
I lived in an incubation pod ever since I was born,
an empty vessel without a consciousness.
But when Mama tried to transfer her own consciousness across...
For some reason, the spare body had, like, developed its own consciousness somehow.
So Mama's transfer failed.
The spare was left with, like,
its own newly born consciousness mixed with bits and pieces of Mama's memories.
Combine all that together into one half-baked existence, and what do you get?
This cute li'l SQ right here.
So when you said you were only one year old...
Hm?
Oh, I get it now.
That's something I told you in another world line, right?
But thou speakest the truth! No falsehoods detected.
I mean, just look how flawless my skin is!
You said that, too...
Hm, you're making this difficult. It's like you know everything about me.
That's not true. This is the first time I'm hearing this.
I see.
I mean, I'm just a spare body, y'know?
A failed experiment that lied its way into pretending to be human.
I doubt I'd wanna talk about that in any world.
I'm sorry...
Hey, no worries.
It is almost time for the warp.
Please return to your rooms.
Whoopsies. Looks like it's about that time.
Well? How's the Silver Key doing?
Oh...
So all that's knowledge?
Yup.
Well, I'm glad.
I'm glad that knowledge from a phony like me was still able to help you out.
Yeah...
Depending on the loop,
you probably met some SQs where Mama's transfer succeeded.
That might've been what Remmy was scared of.
Scared of?
So, like, some of Mama's memories are still in my head.
And a lot of them are, like, super intense and gory.
I used to be someone else's property. Someone's pet.
So the one who owned Remnan was...
Wait. "Papa"?
SQ?
I guess she left...
I... I feel like I did something I really shouldn't have.
It is almost time for the warp.
Yuri, please return to your room.
I focused too much on just gathering new information!
Yuri, for your safety, please return to your room.
Warp commencing in five,
four, three, two, one...
S...
Whoa!
Ow...
SQ...
LeVi! Do you sense SQ?
I do indeed sense SQ's presence.
Thank goodness.
Yuri...
SQ! I need to talk to you.
What's this? Why so serious?
Are you about to confess your feelings to cute li'l SQ?
No, that's not it...
Unfortunately, the meeting's about to begin.
Ms. LeVi's super strict, so we can't be late.
So Jonas has disappeared.
Okay, then I'll start things off.
I'm the Doctor. Is anyone else going to claim that?
I figured as much.
What's that supposed to mean?
I investigated Kukrushka, who was sent into cold sleep yesterday.
She was a Gnosia.
Oho...
So that's why no one else claimed Doctor besides me.
Because there's only one more Gnosia left.
I see. And since he already proclaimed himself the Engineer yesterday...
he can't claim he's also the Doctor.
So... That means that the last remaining Gnosia is either Shigemichi or me...
That is indeed what that means.
W-Wait. That's not the only possibility.
Precisely.
It could be that Kukrushka, who was frozen the first day,
was the real Doctor, and Setsu...
You might be a Gnosia pretending to be the Doctor.
I see. I guess that's also a possibility.
Man, what a pain.
Yuriko does have a point.
But...
If either SQ or I disappear, I won't be able to talk to her in this world line anymore.
Yuri...
I can't deny that what Yuriko described is a possibility.
But... Let's say that Setsu is the real Doctor and Kukrushka was a Gnosia.
That would mean our victory has already been decided.
Huh? Why's that?
LeVi, show us yesterday's voting results.
Displaying now.
I see.
Shigemichi and Kukrushka voted for me...
Remnan voted for Kukrushka.
There's no way a Gnosia would vote for another Gnosia here.
Which confirms that Remnan is human and...
Wait a minute!
It could just as easily be the opposite! What if Setsu and Remnan are the Gnosia?
True, that possibility isn't zero. But...
Setsu voted for Yuriko, and Remnan voted for Kukrushka.
If Setsu and Remnan were both Gnosia,
they most likely would have voted for the same person on the first day,
when the votes were most easily divided, to minimize the chance of being voted out.
W-Well...
I believe that you are the remaining Gnosia.
It is almost time for voting to commence.
The Gnosia presence has been eliminated.
So we... survived?
Yeah.
Right-o.
Then let's feast until we can feast no more!
SQ.
SQ!
This is a hologram...
You forgot this.
I'm surprised you knew which was me.
I'm sorry.
Jeez, you don't need to apologize!
I wish I had a better idea of what to say...
But all I can really do is tell you how I feel.
Wh-What?
There's something I really wanted to say to you.
You're not some failed experiment or lie, SQ.
You're not just some spare.
Hmm, I appreciate the thought,
but the truth is what it is, y'know?
In reality, cute li'l SQ is indeed just another spare.
But I was able to find you out of all these clones, SQ.
You're not just some spare.
I've met you many, many times across many, many loops.
To me, you're not just a spare. You're SQ.
You're not the fake to your mother's original.
You're the original you.
Oh? What's this?
Did you fall for cute li'l SQ?
I dunno, though. Yurinchy, you're a bit too serious for me.
I'm glad I got to know more about you, SQ.
Because you always tried to hide yourself behind the lies.
I finally got to meet the real you.
I was able to catch you.
You're about to loop, aren't you, Yurinchy?
You're gonna meet all kinds of SQs,
including ones where Mama's transfer succeeded, right?
Then lemme just give you a warning.
Ready? Never ever trust cute li'l SQ.
She... Manan is a natural-born liar.
So make sure you don't fall
for a liar like me again, 'kay?
SQ...
But also...
I hope you don't ever forget THIS cute li'l SQ right here.
Yeah, I promise you. I'll never forget you.
This is, like, no fair! Making a girl cry...
Just go! Scram already! Shoo!
SQ...
No! Stay here with me!
Yuri...
I love you, dang it!
