    Well, we were able to confirm that only one of them is an android at this point, the other being human. For me, it is hard not to compare this to Kino’s Journey, but instead of Hermes being a talking motorcycle, we get an android companion instead.

    It isn’t clear to me yet if Youko actually interacts with this girl from her memories or not. Memories seem to play a key role and apparently there was technology to export memories from a human brain and put them into machines. So, I am wondering if Youko isn’t more or less replaying somebody else’s memories when she has these visions of a pre-apocalypse world.

      That’s a good point. My current working theory is that the “sister” character is a teacher AI from the shelter MC grew up in. Maybe based on a real-world person like the robot in this episode. The memories/flashbacks are from some sort of future VR learning course. She is always drawn with some sort of digital fringe in those scenes.

      Either way, it’s enough of a mystery hook to keep me watching.
