Kairi (Yuta Tamamori) came to the hospital and gave Hokomi (Nao) a moon necklace as a present. When Kairi put the necklace on and said, "I hope you will continue to be by Hokkomi's side and protect her," Hokomi smiled and thanked him.
Kairi hugged Hokomi and suddenly said, "Hokko, thank you... I'm sorry." Hokomi felt something was off about this, but Kairi turned around and said, "Well, I'm off now. Bye-bye, Hokomi," and quickly left the hospital room. The main story ended with Kairi breaking down in tears.
The preview video also shows Kairi collapsing in a garbage dump, and social media was filled with comments such as, "It's the final episode already. Just watching the preview makes me want to cry...I hope we can see the two of them smiling at the end," "Kairi is buried in garbage. After all, they've pushed him to this point, how will they manage to pick it up in the final episode," "After all, only Hokko can help Kairi look forward!", "Please, please make the final episode really heart-warming," and "I definitely want the final episode to have a happy ending with Kairi and Hokomi smiling."
