Ep. 11: Houtarou reevaluates the script after Satoshi and Eru critique the ending

Following critiques from Satoshi and Eru regarding the ending crafted by Houtarou, the original script writer Hongou initiates a new round of analysis. He reexamines the facts from a broader perspective than the initial video used for his first conclusion. This process reveals that the Empress manipulated events from the background, using everyone to serve her own purposes and making Houtarou feel foolish. Irritated by this realization, he eventually shares his revised interpretation with Chitanda. She expresses satisfaction with this solution, noting that both she and Hongou dislike narratives involving character deaths. This final discussion resolves the creative conflict by aligning with their shared preference for non-lethal story conclusions.
