Visions of a young man and woman flashed before Mai's eyes. She could feel the warmth and love they shared and how deeply they cared for one another. Then, in an instant, the happy visions shifted to sadness as the woman cried over the man's motionless body. Finally, Mai watched helplessly as the woman took her own life.
That same woman stood before Mai now. Her eyes were filled with a mixture of hatred and sorrow. Her form was wrapped in a dark, wispy substance. The air around them was heavy, almost crushing.
"Ai-san, it's time to release the spirits of this house," Mai said kindly and without pity or anger. She was resolute. "Because, just as you have loved and treasured Hikaru-san… everyone has feelings for someone. All those who have died in this house, somewhere, there is definitely someone else who has and always will cherish them."
The pressure of the air around them began to ease. The darkness around the woman slightly dissipated as Mai shared her positive emotions. Mai smiled warmly at the sudden lightness in the atmosphere.
"Remember that warmth and happiness you shared." Mai continued. "That kind comfort you found in Hikaru-san, in order to cherish his memory, please open your heart to this feeling."
The oppressive air eased once again as the woman's form brightened, burning up the darkness.
"I've found that these sorts of sentiments are the only ones worth holding onto," Mai affirmed gently. "Because once you've found the person who makes you feel this way, there's nothing you can't overcome."
Finally, the darkness was completely gone. The woman was bathed in white, but still, she remained.
"I believe I've found this person," Mai confessed with ease. "Even though he is often an expressionless, taciturn man of few words, he has offered me kindness and comfort. And when he smiles, I know he has accepted me. I know in my heart that I love this man… as you have loved Hikaru-san."
A white light flashed. Before her appeared the figure of a man.
"Hikaru!" Ai called out in joy as she reached for him.
Hikaru smiled at Ai with all the warmth in the world. As they embraced, a white light emanated from them. It engulfed the entire room and slowly, they faded into the light, becoming one.
