Subete ga F ni naru: The Perfect Insider

Episode Five: Silver Hope

This episode was surprisingly uneventful.
We learn that the colour purple that Moe keeps mentioning is the colour of the clothes that she was wearing on the day her parents died. Moe has a dream about this day, and wakes up crying.
Saikawa-sensei comforts her in his weird way.

We learn a bit more about Magata's different personalities.
We learn that Kishio is a personality based on Magata's twin brother who died soon after birth.
The second personality, Suma, is based on Magata's favorite maid when she stayed in America- this maid, like Kishio, is deceased.
Her third personality is "Michiru".
Which, if you remember, is the same name as the robot.
We learn that Michiru is 'the doll'- and possibly a representation of Magata's physical self.
It's pretty interesting if you consider the popular idea that porcelain dolls can be possessed by ghosts.
If Magata herself is the doll, then it makes sense for her body to inhabit multiple 'souls'.

We learn in this episode that a boat is supposedly due to come the following day, so everyone will be saved. Haha. I'll believe it when I see it.
There's way too many episodes left for that to be true.
 
On a side note, Saikawa-sensei has a t-shirt with a picture of a piece of bread on it.
Bread is fashion nowadays, people.

We see a flashback of a younger Magata buying a hunting knife- presumably the one that her parents end up being stabbed by. She gives it to her uncle as a birthday present, telling him that he can now 'free himself from the things that tie him down'.
I'm not sure whether she meant 'hey you can kill everyone with this knife' or 'hey you can live off the land like you always wanted if you use this knife'.

Maybe she meant both.

Once again, I am eagerly awaiting the next episode!
I rate this episode 8/10.
Because although it was a pretty slow episode, it still had a lot of nice ideas slotted into it.
