Water Moon

Content Warning: This section of the guide includes discussion of death.

Keishin transports Hana and himself to the airport, where he’s trying to decide between two different kinds of ramen. He initially doesn’t recognize Hana sitting next to him. To remind him that they know each other, she reveals that she knows that his mother abandoned him and that he has been searching for love ever since. Keishin suddenly remembers the pawnshop and his adventures with Hana in her world.

The friends order instant ramen and frozen slushies. Afterward, they get coffee, and Hana naps on his shoulder. While she rests, Keishin reflects on his experiences over the past year.

A year ago, Keishin was racing out of his apartment building to campus when he got caught in the elevator with his pregnant neighbor, Liz. The rescue team didn’t come before Liz’s water broke, and Keishin had to help her deliver the baby. Liz holding the baby looked like the ultimate image of happiness to Keishin.

Hana bolts awake at the sound of rustling paper in her bag. Inside is a message from Haruto. He has folded time, and they must get back to him.
