But it seems like when she makes a copy she goes into loli-sized mode. In the park sweeping shot, she seems to be full-sized.

@Krazer She seemed to be full-sized talking to both Hajime and O.D. at the same time with two different bodies in one of the later scenes in the episode. I'm pretty sure the copies are all normal sized, unless I was really misinterpreting those scenes.

<p>In episode 2, there's a scene with Utsu-tsu cleaning the Tachikawa City International Greenery Garden where she volunteers. However, the scene is a bit strange, as it shows two of her in the same shot:</p>

<p>As far as I can tell, both of the people in the shot are Utsu-tsu. She's also in the two shots before this one, and doesn't seem to move between them, so there could be more than two of her.</p>

<p><strong>Why are there two Utsu-tsus here? Is she able to double her body, or does she have clones, or are they imposters, or something else?</strong></p>

It might be to show a passage of time. Sometimes they show that (if both things take place at the same place) by showing the person doing different activities at the same time.

@kuwaly I do not think that is the case here given how the scene is depicted, but you may be right.
