Ep. 2: Tsukasa negotiates for Isla while Yasutaka reveals her declining physical capabilities and short lifespan.
Tsukasa encounters Yasutaka Hanada, a veteran spotter at Terminal Service No. 1, whose aloof demeanor surprises him. After Tsukasa explains his father secured his job following failed entrance exams, Michiru vents frustration to Zack and Yasutaka regarding a failed retrieval with Isla. Kazuki later discusses Tsukasa’s compatibility with Isla, apologizing for their partnership and expressing disdain for her job’s memory extraction. In the Unit Testing Room, Eru Miru and Mikijiro Tetsuguro measure Isla’s skills. Isla fears her time off the field holds Tsukasa back, prompting him to handle owner negotiations despite it being outside a spotter’s role. Yasutaka later reveals Isla’s physical decline is irreversible and her lifespan is under 2,000 hours, leaving her less than three months to live.
