Kamisama no Inai Nichiyoubi - Episode 11

Alis wants the enclosed world to end, while Dee does not, and they've been working against each other for years now. Ai is a brand new wildcard that Dee can't control.

Through all of the flashbacks, we see that Alis has been trying to disrupt the enclosed world by introducing things from the outside world that it cannot reconcile. Things like bits of news from after the July 28 date. But Dee has been following Alis around, and removing these bits. Even the new people haven't really changed anything in the enclosed world, but none of them have joined the class and altered the timeline with a simple vote about what activity the class should do for the school festival.

And Alis is not the only one to have killed students trying to force the world to break. Dee has even killed Alis, only to have him reset too. Another revelation: it was Dee's accidental death that caused the class to wish the whole world would keep replaying that same wonderful year over and over again. It's unclear whether even Alis remember this, but it explains why Dee is a ghost outside the snow globe world.

So, Dee doesn't want to die, and doesn't even know if the other students will be alive if the world breaks, since they've all been killed and reset over the years. Better to live with their happy certainty, then to move forward into reality. And that's the thought that makes the image of a fly bouncing off glass to escape evocative to Dee. The fly will just keep hurting itself hitting the glass. She was reminded of that when the group was traveling to Ostia, and a fly was caught inside the van, hitting the windowpane trying to escape. But Ai simply reached over and opened the window, letting the fly move forward. No wonder Dee left back to Ostia on her own shortly thereafter.

Now comes some spoilerish stuff from actually reading the news pieces, which were written in French, that Alis tried to smuggle in. In Japanese, the only thing allowed for the audience was the headline "1 student dead, 17 missing at Ostia Academy." But if you read the story, they actually name the dead student, which shows us the resolution to this arc. Alis has said that he is willing to sacrifice anything or anyone to break that snow globe world, and Dee seems to think it is she that will be sacrificed. At least that's how it's presented to the Japanese audience. But she must have read the news pieces that Alis was bringing into this world, and has been trying to prevent the death of that student. It is apparent to me that the missing students have just re-entered the real world from the broken one 14 years later.

And one final note about wishes in this world. It looks like Alis did not wish for his perfect aim talent himself, but Dee did. And Alis stopped playing basketball soon after, because, as he said, it's no fun if you can't miss. This personal conviction is a part of what is fueling his desire to break the snow globe world. It's no fun living if it doesn't matter, if you can't grow, if you can't make new memories. It's no fun if you can't die, which leads to the ultimate source of tension for the world God left behind.
