The final episode of the TBS Sunday drama "Reboot," starring Ryohei Suzuki, aired on March 29th (Sundays at 9 PM). The final conversation between Natsumi (Erika Toda) and Ayaka (Yuki Yoda) brought many viewers to tears.
◇The following contains spoilers.
Determined to atone for her sins, Natsumi, bound with ropes around her waist, headed to the hospital room of Ichika's (Aju Makita) younger sister, Ayaka, along with Adachi (Makita Aya) and others.
"We won't be able to see each other for a while. When the lawyer comes, listen carefully to what he says. I'll always... love you." Looking straight into Ayaka's eyes, Natsumi conveyed all her feelings.
However, Natsumi was surprised by Ayaka's reply.
"It's okay now. Stop lying. I knew all along. I knew you weren't my sister. But I couldn't say anything. I thought I couldn't go on living if even you abandoned me."
Ayaka perceived that Ichika was fed up with taking care of her. She lashed out at Natsumi, "You've abandoned me, haven't you?"
"That's not true!" Natsumi said, tears welling up in her eyes. "Your older sister cared deeply for you. Ichika risked her life to save you. That's why you have to live. Absolutely. You must never give up," she said, and then left the hospital room.
Social media was buzzing with comments like, "The scene with Natsumi and Ayaka in the final episode was the most tear-jerking moment in the reboot's history," "The scene with Ayaka and Ichika made me cry the most," "I'm so glad Ayaka's misunderstanding about her older sister was resolved," and "It made me cry that Ayaka knew all along but still treated her like her real older sister."
