Let's see... It's this one.

So this is Aunt Nagi's grave...

Right.

This is where she's laid to rest...

I'm not sure if this is the right way to put it...but it's like we're finally getting to meet her.

Yeah...

(I'm not sure how to feel...)

(Actually seeing Aunt Nagi's grave solidifies the fact that she's gone from this world...)

(But I'm also really glad that I came to see her.)

Thank you all for your patience.

We fetched the water.

I'll put the hand towels over here.

Oh, thanks!

Then...

Let's give Aunt Nagi's grave a thorough cleaning!

Hmm... I think you're supposed to leave the roots of this type of weed intact...

Wait, leave them intact?

Yeah. Depending on the type, pulling the roots out can make the soil harden, which then makes the weeds that take their place tougher to remove. Something like that.

Oh, I've heard that before too.

It's okay to pull the roots out in places like this, but you don't want to for gardens and stuff in order to keep the soil soft.

Really...? Also, Akito, you know about gardening?! I never would've guessed. Who taught you that?

Huh? No, I just...

(I can't tell him that Miku told me...)

I'll take this vase out for the time being.

Okay. I'm sure you'll be fine, but be careful not to cut your fingers or anything.

Also, have you ever arranged flowers for a grave before? I can do that since I'm pretty good at this sort of thing.

Oh, that'd be very helpful if you don't mind...

Then, I'll use this toothbrush to get the dirt out of all the engraved letters.

Thank you.

In that case, An and I will wipe it down.

We're supposed to start from the top and work our way down, right?

Yes, that should be fine.

If there's any stubborn dirt or grime, you can use this special soap... But it looks like we won't need to.

Okay.

Then, let's make her grave sparkling clean!

(Phew... I need to scrub gently to avoid scratching the stone.)

(And I need to give special attention to the spot where offerings go...)

Oh...

Is something wrong, An?

Huh? No, nothing's wrong.

Us cleaning like this just reminded me of something.

Of how Aunt Nagi really hated doing any cleaning.

Really?

Yeah. Every time we deep-cleaned the studio that her team always used, we'd always find a few dust bunnies lingering in the places that were her job to clean.

I usually had to do her share of the cleaning. But guess what she always told me when I did...

“Excellent work, Ms. Clean!”

Haha. That certainly sounds like her.

I can sort of see it already.

You and Nagi used to be so close.

Yup! She did have this way of getting me to do things for her, but we always had fun.

(We really did do a lot together.)

(She taught me how to sing, we always ate food and played games together...)

(She didn't get a chance to keep that promise we made...)

(But I was able to live up to the expectations she placed on me.)

(Sorry for making you wait so long, Aunt Nagi.)

(It took a really long time to get to this point...)

(But my friends and I were able to put on the best event ever.)

(And now, we're gonna go see what's waiting for us beyond your dream...)

(So, I hope you'll keep watching over us.)
