Hotaru, I need you to promise me something.
You should confess your love to Ren.
I have improved a little.
Miss.
Miss, I need your help. Someone is trying to kidnap me.
- Ryota, do you want to shine, too? - Yup.
How can I do that?
He doesn't have to understand his death. We only need to eliminate his regret.
It's a childish trick.
For you to shine, with me and the square-head man who is sitting there,
and the black clothes man.
Should the four of us go on an adventure?
Let's go.
[When One Day I Will Sleep] [Episode 5]
♫ I don’t even have an idea to get away from here ♫
♫ I never knew that there is a world elsewhere ♫
Walk faster, square-head.
He is looking down on you completely.
I know.
Senior, can I ask you something?
What is it?
The girl named Hotaru, is she special to you?
Paper-rock-scissors. Look down and right...
I lost.
I knew it.
Don't tell her anything.
Sure. I'll do whatever for your help.
You won.
The carp jumped up just now.
♫ So far ♫
Let's play.
What are you doing?
I hope he finds the person.
Can I play, too?
Good job.
I don't think the person is here.
Teacher, play with me.
Okay, next person in line.
Somehow I feel sorry for him.
It's because he doesn't know that he's dead.
Break time is over! Go back to the classroom!
Okay!
Does everyone hate me?
Not at all.
You're under a spell so nobody can see you.
Well, it's a spell to make you invisible.
Am I invisible?
Right. But you can break the spell once you're able to shine.
Then, you can play with your friends again.
Really?
- She is tricking you. - Senior, please stop.
We have to tell him the truth for his own sake.
Let's go.
- Come on. - Calm down.
Ryota, is there anyone else you would like to meet?
Mom.
You can't see your mom right now.
Who else?
Come this way.
Oh my. It's rabbits.
Look. There will be babies, too.
It's tiny and cute.
Makiko told me babies are going to born soon.
So I've been worried.
Who is Makiko?
She is a teacher in kindergarten.
- Were you friends with the teacher? - I was.
Don't you have anything to say to Teacher Makiko?
Do you?
Will you promise not to tell anyone?
I won't tell.
Even to the square-head?
I promise.
Well, I...
Square-head!
- Did you find out anything, Ms. Hotaru? - Well...
I'm looking for Teacher Makiko, but I didn't see her inside.
- What's wrong? - Nothing.
I know where she lives.
Square-head, take me there.
Okay.
Wait up!
We're walking again. It might take us a while.
If you're busy, then you can attend to other ghosts.
I don't have a choice but to be with you.
Because you don't let go of your regrets, I have to attend to you whether I like it or not.
You have no choice?
You were almost devoured by the earthbound spirit and the person ran away from you.
You don't have the power to resolve anything alone.
I can resolve my regret alone.
- Would you stop making that face? - What?
Don't you have any compassion toward others
after you've been a guide for two hundred years?
I can't do my job if I sympathize with ghosts.
How terrible.
You're arguing with me because you want to run away from reality.
You know nothing about me.
You're wasting your time on trivial matters when you have your own problem to solve.
Trivial matters? I'm doing this for Ryota.
You're cold-hearted.
Whatever. It's none of my business anyway.
Then, don't follow me anymore.
I hate you, Kuro. I really do.
- Where is Senior? - Who knows.
- Are you okay to move around without him? - I'm fine.
Besides, we need to help Ryota to meet Teacher Makiko.
It's about that...
Makiko Nakayama was involved in Ryota's death.
Was that an accident caused by a truck,
when he was walking with his mom?
Makiko Nakayam happened to pass by there,
and she called his name from the other side of the road.
Is that why he ran out into the road?
That's right. Of course, Ryota doesn't remember that.
Let's go already.
Does this mean he's going to learn his death in the most horrible way?
But it doesn't mean Makiko Nakayama is the person who he is holding a regret with.
We'll find out when he sees her.
Ryota, wait for us.
- Crap. - What's the matter?
Ryota?
- That's Makiko Nakayama. - What?
Why... Ryota?
She must be the person who he feels regrets.
Why are you here?
I hope that'll resolve his regret.
Oh?
Ryota?
Ryota!
Did I die?
Ryota.
Ryota, I'm sorry for lying.
Did you lie about the spell, too?
Sorry.
It was all for your sake.
That's why she lied to you.
Ryota, you know what?
I'm dead, too.
- You, too, Hotaru? - Yes.
I died from a bus accident.
I was just like you while begging.
I didn't understand my own death.
- Ryota, don't you have something to tell Teacher Makiko? - I do.
If you don't tell her that,
you can't go to Heaven.
- Do you understand now? - Yes.
- Let's go then. - No.
Maybe he was meant to be an earthbound spirit.
He doesn't have much time left.
I'm not certain if he understands
- why he feels regret. - But...
I'm going to give up.
Your deadline is tomorrow. I don't want to trouble Kuro.
But...
- Keiko! - Don't follow me.
Give me another chance to persuade him. Please.
Okay.
I'll go find the location of Makiko Nakayama.
You seem troubled.
Did you come to criticize me?
Since you admit your death,
you can let go of your regret once you confess your love.
Were you eavesdropping on my conversation with Ryota?
I don't find it so difficult though.
Kuro, have you ever been in love?
No. I mean I'm not sure.
Have you ever cared for someone,
or wished to be with
a particular person?
It's not so easy
for humans to express their love.
We can't see each other so easily even if we want to.
It must've been hard for you and Ryota.
Eh?
You can't let go of your regret so easily, can you?
I also have to meet the person of my regret quickly.
I'm troubling Kuro because I can't meet him.
Who are you meeting?
The person I always liked.
Just like you, Ryota.
Ryota, I'm going to do my best.
So, why don't we let go of our regrets together?
Do you think I can shine?
I'm sure you can shine beautifully.
[Resignation Letter]
Square-head, let's go.
What changed your mind suddenly?
Ryota is willing to meet Teacher Makiko.
Seriously? I'm proud of you, Ryota.
Shall we go?
Do you know her whereabouts?
She was holding a resignation letter, so I think she's at the kindergarten.
Resignation letter?
She wants to quit the kindergarten.
I'm sure it's too painful for her.
Now he can let go of his regret.
Ryota.
The baby was born finally.
It was.
I wanted to become a veterinarian when I grew up.
You told me that before.
I do remember.
Also, I...
Ryota... what is he doing? He's running out of time.
Please give him more time.
- But... - It's going to be all right.
- I wanted to tell you something when I grew up. - Eh?
But since I can't grow up anymore,
I'll tell you now.
Makiko, will you marry me?
Ryota...
Seriously?
Ryota proposed her.
Thank you.
One more thing...
Since I'm dead, I'm going to give my name to the baby rabbit.
Can you name the baby rabbit "Ryota?"
Of course.
Thanks.
Makiko, you shouldn't quit being a teacher
and take good care of it.
[Rabbit House]
Okay. I will.
I won't quit being a kindergarten teacher.
I'll make sure to care for the baby rabbit Ryota.
I'm shining.
Completely resolving his regret.
His memories were erased?
He loses his memories as he let go of his regret.
Ryota confessed his feeling so passionately.
Since that's our rule,
it can't be helped.
Thank you for all your help.
Please thank my senior for me.
See you.
Ryota...
That boy,
he crossed over peacefully.
I'm sorry.
For what?
You know, I...
What is it?
I told you I went to see Ren,
but I couldn't find him there.
That was a lie.
Ren was running there as usual.
I could've resolved my regret if I wanted to.
But... I couldn't.
You look cuter when I see you outside.
Hey.
It's fine since we're friends.
All the good memories came back to me.
I even promised Shirori, but I didn't have the courage to tell him.
As you said, I was running away from facing him.
But I promised Ryota
that I was going to do my best.
I'm relieved.
Where are you going?
I nagged too much. Sorry.
You should be fine on your own now.
I'll be back when you resolve your regret with Ren Otaka.
Wait. Don't go!
You are better off without me.
You're wrong. I need you, Kuro.
Only when you're beside me, I feel I can let go of my regret.
So please... stay with me.
Kuro.
You're so needy till the end.
Don't cry.
The time has come.
Hotaru.
I believe you can do this.
Thanks, Kuro.
I'm off.
Okay.
Ren!
You're not running today?
I was waiting for you, Hotaru.

[Preview] How did we end up like this?
Hotaru, you look the best when you smile.
I was lying to you.
No way. You're kidding me, right?
I'm sorry.
Farewell, Kuro.
Goodbye.
