One year ago, I was suddenly given a second life. Kujo (Mayu Matsuoka) was determined to do anything to change the future of her own death after being pushed down by her student, and he just ran through it. One by one, the students of Class 3 D, who had unknowingly hurt others, endured unknowingly, and unknowingly overlooked this, have released their “seriousness” one by one. And then, “that graduation day” arrives again. Kujo confronts “that person” in the same place as one year ago! …That’s the story of the final episode.
From the day after what happened to Ukumori was revealed, a flower was placed on Ukumori’s seat every day. And then, as the days passed one by one, each of them had decided on their career path, and there were only two days left until the graduation ceremony, but Rina remembered what her girlfriend Ukumori had said, “She doesn’t feel that tomorrow is coming for her.” ” was beginning to form within me as well. Then, the day before the graduation ceremony, Rina goes to Tomomi Saotome’s (Nozomi Morita) restaurant to have a meal with Natsuho Katsumi (Saya Lalande), but as Ukumori had said, the two of them are in danger. I didn’t talk about the fact that it was my second lap or what had happened to me because I didn’t want to make eye contact.
On the day of the graduation ceremony, Ren serves Rina homemade food from the morning. After getting married and eating the rice balls that Ren worked so hard to make when Rina fell ill, Rina tells Ren that she was divorced the first time around, and that she never thought she would be able to eat this rice ball again, and that she will do her best to change it. I tell her that I’m glad she did, and that I may never be able to say it again, “I love you.” The scene of these two people was flooded with posts saying, “It raised too many flags,” “I’m already crying,” and “I want them to live.”
Rina was asked by Ren, “Isn’t there a choice not to go?”, but she realizes that she isn’t going just because it might be the last time, and that Ukumori was also trying to change the present, believing in tomorrow, and that if such a fate were to happen. Even so, she heads to the graduation ceremony, telling her that there is a future that must change no matter what. After the graduation ceremony, I stood in the same place at the same time as the first lap. Then she turned around and grabbed the hand of the person approaching her.
The person Rina grabbed her hand was Toru Hoshizaki (Okane Okudaira). Rina thought it was strange that when she was pushed down in the first round, she couldn’t see the face of the person who pushed her down to the end, and that it must have happened without any clear murderous intent and in an almost emotionless state. When he guessed, he said that the face of Hoshizaki, who was objectively looking at this world as if it were something made up while the other students were shaking with emotion, came to mind. And she tells her that she came here to change Rina’s own fate and the fate of Hoshizaki, who is about to end her own life after pushing Rina down.
Hoshizaki confesses to Rina that he has felt strange since he was an elementary school student, feeling like he was living in a world without color. And no matter how much Rina warns him, Hoshizaki’s heart remains unmoved and he climbs over the fence. However, Rina desperately grabbed Hoshizaki’s hand, and Ren, who was worried about Rina and was looking for her, rushed in, and Hoshizaki was saved. A student from Class 3 D rushes there and expresses his feelings to Hoshizaki, saying, “Don’t die for us.” Hoshizaki, who said that he lived in a world without color, says that he will never forget that he can see the bright red sun behind everyone, and Rina tells him that it is enough for him to live. On SNS, there were many voices of relief, such as “The best husband!!” and “God husband,” as well as “crying” and “That’s great,” in response to Ren, who came to the rescue. There were also high praises for Mr. Okuhira, who played Hoshizaki, saying, “I was drawn to him” and “He’s an amazing actor.”
It seemed like she had changed her fate and that of Hoshizaki, but Rina was stabbed by Hamaoka from behind and collapsed. In Rina’s distant consciousness, she knew that it was her students who had always changed difficult situations, that she was the student who answered seriously, that she was the best for her. She recalls that her teacher was a student. Then she heard Ukumori’s voice saying, “I’m handing over the baton to her teacher,” and when she woke up, she was in her hospital room. She was told by Ren that she was alive after the graduation ceremony. At the end, Rina’s voice says, “One year after my second life, I was entrusted to my students. I will continue to live and change this world…”, and the subtitle “■” means “Entrusted”. It turned out to be a “entrustment” of “that was done”.
SNS is full of praise such as “I was entrusted with it,” “I didn’t expect it,” “Wow!” and “That was a good ending,” and “Another unforgettable drama.”
