The 124th episode of the NHK Asadora drama series "Bakebake, " starring Akari Takaishi (NHK General, Monday-Saturday 8:00 AM, etc.), aired on March 26, and viewers expressed concern for Toki (Takaishi), who was in a "rock bottom" state.
Toki is asked by Eliza (Charlotte Kate Fox) to write about Heaven ( Tommy Bastow). However, filled with regret, Toki is unable to say anything.
Joe (played by Sugita Rairin) suggests adding his memories to the notes he kept during Heaven's lectures and turn them into a memoir. Joe asks, "Even just a single word would be fine, so if you could give us something, Otoki-san," but Toki refuses, saying, "I ruined your last moments, Dad. I made your life the worst it could be... so I can't possibly say, 'I lived a good life'..."
Seeing Toki's state, Tsukasanosuke(Takashi Okabe) and Fumi (Chizuru Ikewaki) try to bring up the topic of Toki and her happy memories at Heaven, but Toki denies everything they say.
Fumi tried to persuade Toki, saying, "You have the best mom in the world, and you've got the best family in the world, so to me, it seems like there are more good things than bad." "It's okay to feel remorse or regret. It's okay to apologize or complain. If you talk about it, you'll feel a little better." Toki nodded slightly, tears streaming down her face.
Toki reflects on her life with Heaven, but all she can say is remorse. On her first day at Imperial University, Toki regretted making Heaven change from her kimono into Western clothes against her will. Toki regretted, "Even something as simple as clothing...it was holding her back. I think it was the accumulation of days like this that led to her writing 'KWAIDAN'."
With the final episode airing tomorrow, the 27th, just around the corner, Toki is in the depths of despair. With the story unfolding in a way that makes it impossible to imagine how it will all end in the remaining 15 minutes, comments on social media included: "Is it really going to end in just 15 minutes?", "How are they going to turn this around from here!?", "Will it end with a happy ending?", "He's still in the depths of despair going into the final episode...", "It's so dark, you wouldn't think it's the day before the final episode", "Feelings of guilt... so sad", and "I wish the final episode would be a 3-hour special or something."
