5:10am[edit]
The thing that saved Lynne and Kamila is now looking down at them. Lynne looks up and freaks out at the sight of it. It falls to pieces and then the pieces come together to form a metal body. It's none other than the manipulator. He doesn't really know why he saved Lynne and Kamila. Apparently he knew about Sissel saving Lynne all along. Sissel pleads for him to tell him who he is... and changes his own appearance in the process. He can't hold onto that image of himself any longer. The manipulator is sure Sissel will remember himself soon enough... and who he (the manipulator) is too, surprising Sissel. Does he know the man?
The submarine has been totalled. It's sinking and the engine room is destroyed. Lynne wonders why the manipulator is here seeing as he had a deal with them. He says he was betrayed. They figured out the source of the powers. Lynne asks to hear more about the meteorite's effects on living creatures.
The manipulator watched the junkyard super do his work for all those years and managed to figure some of it out. Those with powers of the dead received them by dying in the presence of Temsik radiation. He then talks about the meteorite's effects on his body. His entire existence has become a contradiction. The fragment remained inside his body and continued to regenerate it. The body was cycling between the moments that separated his life and death. He simply existed, neither alive nor dead, and his body never changed. It was stuck at the moment of his death.
Next, he talks about his revenge plot. The kidnapping was done in order to ensure that Jowd was executed. The foreigners had their own reasons for co-operating with him though he didn't realise it at the time. They wanted to wipe out everyone who had to do with Temsik - Jowd, Cabanela, the pigeon man... and the man in red himself. There was one more target - Lynne. He lured her to the junkyard, told her he was the man who took her hostage and manipulated her into shooting him. She was only supposed to be framed for murder but the organization had other ideas and wanted her wiped out. Then Sissel showed up and threw a wrench in their plans.
Lynne wonders why she was a target when she didn't even know about Temsik. It was because she was looking into the Jowd case and the organization was afraid she would learn about Temsik sooner or later.
The submarine shakes again. Now all that's left to do is wait for water pressure to crush the submarine. There aren't any cores from there to the water's surface and there are no communication cables down that deep. It's looking pretty hopeless. Lynne tells the manipulator she understands how he's been feeling those ten years. It must be just like the feeling of being cut off from the world, all alone in a submarine and sinking slowly toward the bottom of an endless sea.
Kamila comes round, She aware that they are trapped on the submarine and bets Jowd would save them if he was there, upsetting Lynne somewhat. While everyone's wallowing in despair, Sissel speaks up about how strange it is that the man's body was ejected into the sea. He doesn't know and guesses it doesn't matter now since they have no idea where it is. At that moment, Lynne realises that they do and produces the radio receiver. With it, they should be able to find out where the command room is since the man in red's body is still there with the bullet inside it. She thinks they could use a torpedo to get there somehow.
5:27am[edit]
Go up to the control panel and operate it. A mechanical arm pops out. Use it to get to the phone above. Go to the torpedo room. Lynne and Kamila go up as well and Lynne observes that the torpedoes can be launched manually. She turns on the backup power so that the switches can work.
5:30am[edit]
The switch isn't doing anything so talk to Missile and you'll gain control of him. Have him swap the switches, then have Sissel move the leftmost switch. The torpedo pops out of the bay. Lynne has noticed that the command room is slowly sinking for some reason. Hop over to the torpedo. Before she launches the torpedo, Sissel tells Missile to get on but he wants to stay there with Lynne and Kamila. He feels he can't leave them alone. Lynne and Kamila manage to persuade him to go and he joins Sissel on the torpedo. Lynne and Sissel exchange farewells then Lynne pulls the switch and the torpedo shoots off. It passes by the control room and Sissel and Missile hop over. Detective Jowd is lying dead on the floor and the command room has lost all power.
5:41am[edit]
Possess Jowd's corpse. Jowd is startled since he doesn't recognize Sissel at first. Sissel tells him about Kamila and Lynne's predicament. Jowd can't believe he would destroy his own submarine and wonders why. The manipulator responds that it's because Sith was afraid of his powers. Apparently he was able to tag along without Sissel noticing. Jowd wonders if he is Yomiel. Then the manipulator's form changes to reveal his true form. His real name is indeed Yomiel and Sissel was just an alias he was using for his deal with the organization. Sissel would like to ask him some more questions.
Ten years ago, Yomiel was a top systems engineer. He was invited into a project aimed at reorganizing the nation's top secret information. He never thought that he would have to deal with spies. Since he built the core of the system, he was a suspect and was hauled in for questioning. Then that incident happened. Yomiel asks when he was proven innocent and learns it was six months after his death.
Yomiel talks about his death ten years ago. He lost everything when his soul was split from his body and found himself sealed in eternal darkness. His powers couldn't help anyone and nobody noticed him. Time didn't help, it just made his suffering even worse. He wanted to disappear but wasn't able to even do that. He was overwhelmed by loneliness and despair, and wanted everyone to suffer what he was suffering... leading to him murdering Jowd's wife. Yomiel wanted him to know what it was like to lose everything he cared about. His loneliness had poisoned his mind and made him twisted.
When Yomiel was plotting his revenge, he had an idea. He would use his powers to make a deal. They would get his powers and in return, Yomiel would get a new life. He had two conditions - they help him with revenge, and give him a rebirth. He didn't care if it was an artificial life. He only wanted a physical identity and a normal life, and wished to grow old in a society that accepted him then die surrounded by a loving family. To make it all come true he knew it would take a lot of money and power so he contacted the organization. Their response in the end was, of course, betrayal.
The organization had sent spies to the country and researched his powers without him knowing. They managed to find out the truth behind Temsik as well. They couldn't steal a piece of the meteorite because Cabanela and the junkyard super had notified the government about the source of the manipulator's power and they responded by hiding armed guards in the park who would protect the meteorite. The housing site was really a plot by the government to secure the meteorite.
Now that we've learned all that, it's time to go back to before Jowd's death.
4:23am, S-Yonoa Control Room[edit]
Jowd asked the servant where they were going. It turned out the control room only had enough fuel to be launched away and would sink. Jowd points out that would mean the servant was trapped too, but the servant was just a remote controlled robot. Jowd asked why they went to so much trouble, ejecting the body. The servant responded that Sith likes to guard against any possibility no matter how small, though he wouldn't say what. The servant then made a machine gun come out of the ceiling which shot Jowd dead.
There's nothing to do but possess Yomiel's corpse. Yomiel figures out what the possibility is. His time was perpetually stopped thanks to Temsik, but now that the fragment was removed, his body became a regular corpse. Sissel realises this means they can go back to four minutes before Yomiel's death. Missile wonders when exactly that death is and Jowd replies that they will find out when they get there.
