Naki is too pure for this world

Naki reaches out a hand to stroke Miza, to assure her he’s okay.

His hand slips through her.

“What?!” he shrieks.

“You’re a spirit now, Naki.” Shio and Rikai appear. “We have to go now.”

“Go where?” Naki sounds frightened.

“Heaven.”

“For me?” Naki swallows. Miza is crying. How can he leave her?

“Yes.” Shio throws his arms around Naki. “We’ll be right beside you.”

“Are you – dead?” Naki is horrified. “Not you!”

“It’s okay. Yusa and Hirako are strong. Miza is strong. They’ll remember us, lie you remember your bro.” Rikai nods as tears stream down Shio and Naki’s faces.

“I’ll look after both of you until you see your Arima again,” Naki promises them. As the world around them begins to fade, he grips the children tight.
