| I watched this some time ago so my memories aren't so vivid, but what I gathered from the last episode was that the baby is the child of that trap and his girlfriend, and Hotaru was born into another family in the village, although she seems to be aware that she's a spirit. As for Hayami, I think either options are a possibility, however, i'm leaning more to the 'visiting as a spirit' side. Hotaru mentioned "It was hard convincing the spirits to approve of this.", so I thought it was more logical to interpret that as 'approval to visit'. Asking them to resurrect her sounds too absurd, no? |

| o wtf, this last episode is so confusing, why and how Hayami died ??? |
   |
| Ending of this anime is confusing, indeed ... I didn't expected that everything would complicate and change so much ... Even if there were at last some pleasant moments, I was sad, saying in my mind: this is too sad to forget it ... I understand it this way: (-warning, spoiler, don't read unless you finished watching anime-) Hayami dies, same as Hirose's mother, hit by a train. Hirose then recovered memory and sight ... A few years passed. Hotaru was the head of the village. Mai has a child with Hirose. He built the windmill with his uncle, thinking about Hayami that it would have pleased her. Suddenly, Otoha appeared -finally alive, as a little girl. In addition, she made a gift for Hirose. - Hayami has appeared ... possibility is this: it looks like she was resurected for him (Otoha said: don't loose her now). But, in my opinion, (and I think this is most realistic version) Hayami has become a visible spirit. As Otoha previously was. Because, if that would be possible, fairies could have been able to recover Hinata, Hirose's mother, everyone.... So it is not the resurrection ... it is simply a visit of spirit of Hayami for a happy end... I was crying a lot. |

| I agree that it is a possibility that Hayami is just a visiting spirit, but there is still one line that disagrees with that. Otoha had said something along the lines of "take care of her this time". If Hayami was just a spirit, why would Hirose need to take care of her? Also,Otoha said "it was hard convincing them to allow this" meaning, it wouldnt be so difficult to allow her to return as a spirit for Hirose, but it would be against al rules to resurect her for a second chance. So I accept that she might be a spirit, but the evidence ive seen convinces my that she was truly alive and back with Hirose. |

I was crying a lot. sounds like you are not watching.. first of all hajimi is a boy(the one who always wear maid uniform... the purple hair)... look at hajimi episode so you can understand they bath together with hirose.. maki and hajimi the parents of that child.. that makes it clear.( http://myanimelist.net/character/7301/Hamaji_Yakumo ). and about the last min she is resurrected.. as otohas last message "this time, make sure you protect her".. |

Thats what I think, too... I've just completed it and thats exactly what it says to me... |

ss5mmyers said: I don't think Hayami ever died. She was safe on the 2nd track while the train passed on the first. She was happy because this seemed to cure him since he called out her name so she went away, giving him time to heal mentally. She later came back when Hirose was certainly recovered mentally. The little Otoha is proof the illness is leaving and he has accepted everything. 1) Otoha is not real, she couldn't be. Since Hirose didn't really have his sight back it means Otoha can't affect reality so she must not be real. 2) The idea of her being an illusion doesn't hold with the happy ending atmosphere of the scene. If she were an illusion, Hirose hasn't gotten any better. 3) Why is there no grave for Hayami or any real indication she's dead? 4) The whole train hitting Hayami the same way as his mother is too much of a coincidence since she was just suggesting the idea to him. also thought Hayami didn't die 14:30- she's on the second track 14:33- if you look at the middle right it's clear that the train passes through the first track. Hirose was just regaining his sight so he may have missed it. |
