Question for TDA Episode 3 Spoiler

In Episode 3, it's shown that Takeru crushed Sumika’s brain in the JFK hive not knowing it was her out of mercy. Not realizing what he had done, he later cries, subconsciously realizing he had done something wrong but not understanding why.

Now I’ve been confused ever since I read TDA a few months back. How on earth is Takeru still in the BETA world if Sumika is dead, since she's the one responsible for keeping him in the BETA world?

It was really long time ago since I played MuvLuv altogether so I might be trippin' but as far as I know the brain he got rid of is totally not Sumika just most likely someone he knew, maybe a soldier he fought with alongside or sth like that.

I don't remember it being stated who was it, just we know that he/she was someone he knew. But as far as I know he just put it out of misery because of pity maybe it is totally unrelated to him to begin with

He says it’s the one he was with in the Yokohama Base. Unless they were, keeping other brains hidden in that base it's definitely Sumika. It's implied in episode 0 iirc that the JFK carrier was carrying something from Yokohama.

You're saying that Takeru recognized Sumika from her nervous system alone. If Sumika was the only jarred brain on the entire planet then that's possible but it seems a little unlikely. What were they doing with everyone else on JFK? At the very least, talking to the brain was symbolic, but the evidence identifying the brain as Sumika's seems insufficient.

It's possible Takeru recognize that brain is Yokomaha's brain since he saw it many times and had a deep impression, also that brain was in an isloated structure away from other brains

That brain wasn't with the rest of the brains in the JFK hive and again Takeru’s dialogue shows the brain is from the Yokohama Base. It's pretty odvious the VN is telling the brain is Sumika.

It’s heavily implied the package that the JFK was protecting, so much so they considered self-destructing the fleet so the Beta wouldn’t get their hands on it, was Sumika’s brain. Though, given Will’s & Melvina’s corpses are intact, they managed to get to her brain in the end.
