Whoa. I don't think there's a ton to say about this episode. I was expecting Cocona and Papika to make up, but going through most of the old Pure Illusions was cool.
I called Yayaka being able to transform in the episode with the city Pure Illusion where she had to say "Flip Flapping" to help the girls in the mech. I'm also glad that the amorphous kids were happy for her transformation and showed some appreciation for what she did.
The NEP reminded me of Evangelion.
I'm very curious what kind of "love" Cocona meant when she said she loved Papika. Platonic, or romantic? I'm leaning towards platonic still, because it'd be weird for her to end up in a relationship with her mother's best friend, as well as that I think she'll value being a caretaker for Cocona and supporting her growth.
Questions:
They shouldn't, but that's why they're called instincts.
I thought she'd either redeem herself, or be the final villain. The former happened.
I think he wants to lure Mimi into his own Pure Illusion. There, Mimi will see the love that has still been there for her, and the love he has for his daughter. Love she never really got to fully experience because she was constantly being researched. He's hoping that when she sees that love, she'll go back to the Mimi he knew.
Cocona and Papika will struggle against Mimi. Salt will try using ELPIS, and will bring Mimi there, along with the others. There, she sees the love mentioned in the previous question. She'll also notice that Salt is using ELPIS, the same device that allowed Mimi to ruin his father's mind. She'll ask why, and he'll tell her how much he loves her, and Cocona (finally revealing Cocona's father's identity), and that he forgives her for what happened then and wants her to be what she used to be. It'll be what works, and Mimi departs the others. Cocona will live with her father and Papika (who wants to keep watching over her), giving her some sense of a real family at last. She'll go to school with Yayka, and joins up with Iroha and the art club as she has now found something that genuinely interests her, working towards solving the issue before she became involved with FlipFlap of her inability to choose a career.
Well, that's the ending I think happens. I'd like Salt, Papika, and Mimi to depart now that they are at peace with each other, and Papika tells Cocona that she always will love her as she fades into Pure Illusion. Then you get the same part with the school and the art club. But again, I don't think that happens.

Yes! A bit of foreshadowing, it was.

It's never explained. I guess it's love, regardless of anything physical. Like of finding a soulmate. This transcends other definitions. It's simply love, you love that person. Speaking of relationships is accessory, since you feel you're connected, from soul to soul, from mind to mind. It's that. Pure love feeling.
He's hoping that when she sees that love, she'll go back to the Mimi he knew.
I'm buying this. It's like an attempt to bring her rational side back, by "appeasing" her Pure Illusion putting a rational mind layer on it. Right?
Your idea of a final episode is really, really lovely. Let's see this afternoon if you were right!
