Big irony time - as Sheryl's disease spreads throughout the body, she's able to cause small fold distortions - not as strong as Ranka's though. Meanwhile, Sheryl is singing charity concerts (people comment that her songs have changed) and Klan spills all the details about Sheryl to Alto because she doesn't want him to end up like her (and Michael).
Surprisingly, it's more like Alto that makes a move on Sheryl than the other way around. Very moving scene with Sheryl finally putting down the act and crying in front of Alto. Almost made me cry, which is very rare. Alto promises to stay with Sheryl until the end! Sheryl asks for Alto to give her the courage to sing to the end. Ahh, so bitter-sweet.
Meanwhile, most of SMS goes "pirate"
Seems (since he doesn't explain) that Alto was a bit too much of an outsider to simply go along with SMS. Alto thinks Ozma isn't being very mature to do a runner to help protect Cathy, but Ozma says it's because he's a man
Some rather fun dialogue here. Ozma challenges Alto to chose his own path, like Ranka and he did. Looks like Ozma and Alto are about equal in skill here (though obviously their mecha aren't).
Next time - major revaluations about Vajra and decision time for Alto?
Fuck yeah!!!!! God bless my two favorite pairings of the year!!!!!!!!!!!!! XDDDDD

This entire scene shows Alto how much he cares about her, and how her walls came crumbling down as she sank into the embrace of her friend. The entire scene was giving me vibes that Sheryl was resigned to her fate and what she thinks is "unrequited love". It makes me think that she would carry her love to her grave, and be content with the time she's spending with Alto without ever telling him that she loves him.
And to think this wasn't even the pinnacle of H.M.S Skull Fairy.
Grace says that Ranka and Brera have arrived at the island where the true queen lives - their "treasure island"
