Sin repairs Ryoko's data through a transplant, yet her emotional component remains trapped within the Altair, rendering her seemingly devoid of feelings inside the server. Consequently, she and Kyo venture into the real world. During their exploration, Kyo acknowledges that although they currently exist only as apparitions, he believes they will eventually gain the ability to physically touch the real world. This moment highlights their unique status and the hope for future physical interaction despite their current digital limitations.
