keep yourself cute!

Close up under the cut

Battler: What's the big deal, then...? Isn't that easy? Just poke a hole through it!

Beatrice: But the point of it is to do it magically...! Using a sphere that cannot be pierced, creased or bent sharply.... but can pass through itself...!

Beatrice: If you say so, then try it, Battler!

Battler: Okay... here goes... I'll just pull the two halfs through eachother!

Beatrice: Watch out, Ushiromiya Battleeeer....! You're pinching it infinitely tight....!

Battler: Uwooooo! It's useless....! It's all useless....It is impossible to turn a sphere inside out...!!

Beatrice: Ohhhh...really...?

Battler: Is this it...a....sphere turning inside out...!? What the fuck!?

Battler: But, but... but! I really couldn't follow it at all! It's useless, it can't be anything but magic!

"Gretel": Pathetic... falling for her just because she's dazzling you with words? If it's too hard to follow, simplify the problem...

[OST: Core]

Battler: A... a circle?

"Gretel": That's right, a circle. It's a 2D simplification of her 3D "trick"... so it should be much simpler to explain, right? Think it's possible to flip it around?

Battler: ...Ggh! How should I know!? And even if it is... how the hell would that prove it's possible in 3D!?

"Gretel": Hm... yeah, maybe it won't. But... don't you think it'll be useful to consider anyway...? It's like giving yourself ammunition for the full argument, right?

"Gretel": Anyway, flip your thinking around for a second... the useful fact here is that it's not possible in 2D.

Battler: The hell!? Ugh, that's useless, totally useless... no good at all...!
