Gnosia (2025) s01e13 Episode Script
Interlude
1
Jina! Jina!
Do you understand?
Y-Yeah.
What am I supposed to do?
How can I make everyone happy?
How can I make these things stop
happening over and over again?
Or is this all just fate?
Does someone always have to be sacrificed,
no matter how many times I repeat this?
Yuri
Setsu?
I'm fine
Setsu
Setsu!
EPISODE 13: INTERLUDE
Setsu
Yuri
How are you feeling?
Today How many days has
it been since we left Liu-An?
No. You didn't loop.
Huh?
Yuri
You fainted on the way to the meeting.
But don't worry.
I had LeVi check you while you were asleep,
and apparently, it's just exhaustion.
On the way to the meeting? Then
We have to get going.
It's about to start, isn't it?
E-Er
I had them delay the meeting.
Also, Stella's the one who undressed you,
so you don't have to worry.
I keep telling you all, I'm not a woman.
What happened?
Actually, you don't have to tell me if you
don't want to. I could be a Gnosia, after all.
And I could be a Gnosia, too.
Though if that were the case, I probably
wouldn't go through all this trouble.
Passing out right before
the meeting like this.
Yeah.
Yuri, how much do you know about Kukrushka?
About Kukrushka?
The more I loop,
the more I keep getting world lines
where Kukrushka is present.
It probably means that there's
still information about Kukrushka
that I haven't gathered yet.
She's a doll right?
Yeah. I guess you know that as well.
Also, under certain circumstances,
she goes berserk
and lays waste to the ship.
I experienced that as well.
I have a feeling that Kukrushka
is hiding something huge.
Actually, I'm certain of it.
That's why I've been investigating
every time I loop
Aah, Arya.
For several centuries,
I chased after her shadow.
No matter how much I ask Jonas about her,
all he ever says is that he once loved a woman
named Arya and Kukrushka looks like her.
The only thing I've found out for sure
is that the trigger that causes her
to go berserk is Remnan.
Remnan?
That's right.
Every time Kukrushka has ended up
in that state, Remnan has been there.
Y-Yuri!
It's been hundreds of loops now,
and that's all I've found out.
Pretty pathetic, right?
Hundreds
I wonder how many more I'll have to do.
Setsu.
The meeting's been canceled.
Huh?
LeVi's going to give us a day
so you can recover.
But how is that
I guess there are world lines like this, too.
So let's take this chance
for a change of pace today.
Let's just forget all about the Gnosia.
We can't do that.
If we lose even one day,
then the Gnosia infectees will
Huh? Wait, Yuri!
You're exactly right, Setsu.
But
If being right is all you have,
you won't stay mentally healthy.
Yuri
Let's go.
Hey Okay, fine.
I'll go, so stop pulling me so much.
A water storage tank?
Yeah.
Apparently the water we drink gets filtered,
so there are synthetic fish
for consumption in here.
So we're fishing?
Yeah. Chipie previously mentioned
that he secretly fishes here.
Apparently, it makes his cat happy.
Though Sha-ming yelled at him about it.
I've never fished before.
Neither have I, actually.
What?
Let's compete to see who can land one first.
We haven't caught a single one.
Are there really fish in here?
That's what I was told
There are. They're just deeper down.
Deeper? Didn't you say
they were synthetic fish?
Whoa!
Setsu!
Reel it in!
R-Right.
Huh?
It's huge! I-It's
a big one!
Oh, my!
O-Otome?
What?!
That startled me.
Why were you in the tank?
I saw a lot of fishies in there and
couldn't resist the urge to swim, too.
And then something all bright
and shiny showed up front of me.
Is your mouth okay?
Oh, it's fine.
More importantly
I-It's nothing.
Okay, bye.
All right, next
Why don't we watch a movie?
How was it?
Honestly, it was hard to suspend my disbelief.
Was it that bad?
I wouldn't say it was bad, exactly
But if the military had just reported the
anomaly to the higher-ups from the beginning,
the incident that followed would
have been completely avoidable.
But then the detective protagonist
wouldn't have had anything to do.
It breaks all kinds of rules to involve a
civilian in the operation in the first place.
Setsu It's fiction.
I mean, I know that, but
No wonder that movie's a
classic from the Earth era!
It hits you right in the feels!
Shigemichi I didn't know you were here.
Hey, more importantly, why
aren't you two holding hands?
It's common courtesy to hold the hand
of the person next to you in the theater.
What?
I guess I just picked
the wrong movie. Sorry.
I fully understand that it's fiction.
It just really bothered me to see them
unable to prevent people from getting hurt.
That just shows how compassionate
you are toward other people.
Even strangers in a movie.
Really? It could just be my
sense of duty as a soldier.
That's just as noble, I think.
Did you pick this setting, Yuri?
Er, yeah.
I did. I thought you might like it.
I get it.
You must've seen me choose this
scenery on some other loop before.
You got me.
But it still makes me happy
that you actually remembered
something like that.
Every time I loop, I think about how
any individual Yuri I met before,
or the one that's with me right now,
is also looping just like I am.
That they're doing their very best.
That fact alone always cheers me up.
Me, too.
Um Yuri, Setsu.
Otome.
You're telling us
it's about time for the two of us to get
into the cold sleep capsules, right?
Huh?
Did you really think I wouldn't notice?
To get us some free time, you agreed that
the two of us would go into cold sleep.
That's how you got us exempt
from the meeting, isn't it?
Setsu
Please don't ever do
anything like this again.
I'm sorry.
I knew it'd be against your wishes, but
This is the only world
the others besides you and I get.
We can't do whatever we want
just because we have a next time.
But thank you.
I just keep ending up owing
you more and more, Yuri.
Don't worry about it.
You're the one who saved me by giving me
the Silver Key in the first place.
I
have to wonder if that
really was a good thing.
I'm truly grateful. But
But?
If it helps keep you going, let me say this
I'll be expecting you to pay back
what you owe me someday.
Yeah.
Yuri.
Your hand.
Ah, you're awake.
Well? How was the instant learning?
Do you understand things a little bit?
Setsu
Is Kukrushka on board?
I didn't see that name on the passenger list.
I see.
It seems like my Silver Key wants information
about something other than
Kukrushka right now.
But
I still want to figure it out.
For Setsu's sake, as well.
Okay, let's start the meeting.
What exactly is Kukrushka?
I don't have any direct leads.
But
If I keep connecting all
the information together,
I should be able to find the truth.
Like how I'm able to figure out who the Gnosia
are by connecting the dots during meetings.
Yurinchy!
Huh? Wh-What?
What the hell? Who's relaxed enough
to nap at a time like this?
Oh? Could it be that cute
li'l SQ stole your heart?
We wanted to hear your thoughts, Yuri.
Huh? Um, well
Crap.
I need to actually concentrate on
the meetings when I'm in them.
I need to somehow make it through
and get some time to think.
First, is there anyone with
Engineer credentials?
Shigemichi will be put into cold sleep.
If Remnan really is the trigger that causes
Kukrushka to go berserk as Setsu said,
those two must have some kind of connection.
But I have no information
as to what that might be.
The only thing I know is that Kukrushka
is a doll that Jonas bought.
And previously, Remnan and SQ
Depending on the loop,
you probably met some SQs
where Mama's transfer succeeded.
That might've been what
Remmy was scared of.
No.
It's SQ's mother, Manan,
who's connected to him.
Come to think of it
I used to be someone
else's property. Someone's pet.
No No! Why?
Why? You know why.
It's because I love you, Remmy.
Manan kept Remnan as a pet
and treated him horribly.
And
That face I guess you do remember, Papa.
So, like, some of Mama's
memories are still in my head.
And a lot of them are, like,
super intense and gory.
The one that was created as a result of
Manan and Remnan's connection was
I see.
So that's why there were world lines
where Remnan was scared of SQ.
Yeah. That basically explains
everything so far.
It's just
We still don't know how
Kukrushka is connected.
Yeah.
But there's something that Remnan said
in a world line that I experienced.
No. But she's the same!
The way her eyes look at me!
The way she smiles!
Does that mean that Kukrushka could be Manan?
That would make the most sense.
After all, SQ was intended as a vessel
for Manan to transfer her consciousness to.
Which means
All that remains of Manan
is her consciousness.
But something went wrong,
and she ended up in Kukrushka
Something went wrong?
That's the part I'm not sure about.
SQ said it had been a year
since she'd been born.
Which means the transfer must have
happened within the last year.
So if there was some kind of connection
between Jonas, Kukrushka,
and SQ during that time,
I thought that might explain it, but
So there wasn't one.
Yeah, not at all.
Setsu, Yuri.
We will be soon be commencing warp.
Please return to your rooms.
All right.
If I think of anything else,
I'll let you know.
Let's go.
Yuri.
Thanks But don't just thoughtlessly
tell me things like this.
When you change world lines,
anything can happen.
Do you understand?
Y-Yeah
Did I loop?
Did I get attacked by the Gnosia?
How was the instant learning?
I understand the basics. Let's go.
I guess I can't just casually discuss things,
even if it's with Setsu.
I'll have to reach the answer on my own.
I don't think I'll find anything out
by directly asking
But there must be some reason that I
ended up on a world line with Kukrushka.
The more I loop,
the more I keep getting world lines
where Kukrushka is present.
That's right. It's not like the Silver Key
would just make me loop for no reason.
It makes me loop into a world line where
I can gain new information or knowledge.
The reason that Setsu keeps looping into
world lines where Kukrushka is present
is because Kukrushka has important
information that they need to know about.
If that's why, then that might
be happening to me, too.
Yuri.
What's the matter?
Does your head still feel spacey
because of your amnesia?
Er, no. I'm fine. I basically
understand what's going on.
Let's begin the meeting.
Are you sure you're okay?
Spare them your concern.
They could easily be acting.
Okay, let's continue.
I need to calmly remember each one
Everyone who's been there in the world lines
I've looped to since Kukrushka went berserk.
I see.
Now that I actually draw it out,
I can clearly see
The one person, other than Setsu and me,
who's been present for all of those world lines.
That's right. Why didn't I notice it sooner?
She was suspicious from the start.
Does that thing actually look human to you?
She said that about Kukrushka, too.
That's right Rather than Jonas or SQ,
the only one who could make it happen
Cyberization
Have you ever heard of it?
Just once.
It's a technology that was
developed some time ago.
The only known practitioners are the
shrine maidens from the Hoshibune.
Yes! That's it! There's no doubt about it!
It took you long enough.
I figured you were more
intelligent than that.
So, did you find your answer?
Why did you transfer Manan's
consciousness to Kukrushka?
Oho So you think I did it?
You have knowledge concerning cyberization
and also knew that Kukrushka wasn't human.
I can't think of anyone else it could be.
Even if that were true
What would be my motive?
I don't know.
But I have a feeling that
everything is connected.
Kukrushka The reason I started looping
And this whole mess with the Gnosia
happening in the first place.
Don't play dumb!
I absolutely am not.
I'm just in utter disbelief
at how off the mark you are.
I am a fugitive from the Hoshibune.
What could a fallen shrine
maiden possibly do?
Well
But your theory that everything
is connected is not so off base.
It's true that everything happening
right now has a singular cause.
Very well.
As a reward, I will tell you
the truth.
Jina! Jina!
Do you understand?
Y-Yeah.
What am I supposed to do?
How can I make everyone happy?
How can I make these things stop
happening over and over again?
Or is this all just fate?
