The Power of Words (4x12)

Ausstrahlung: Jun 20, 2014

Karina, a translator living out in the countryside, finds a ball of fuzz near a tree and places it in a jar in her home. That night, Karina dreams of meeting her grandfather Shuji, and when they see a blur in her dream, he refers to it as a Tsukitonbo. When she wakes up, she finds that the ball of fuzz has doubled in size and has broken free from the jar, moving about her room on its own. In the following days, Karina keeps the creature until one night when her house is suddenly haunted, which prompts Raiga and Crow to arrive to dispel the illusion. Raiga tells Karina that she has found the lost offspring of a Spirit Beast and he is to return it to its parent. Karina asks to go with Raiga, and he agrees on the condition that she has her memories of the event erased afterwards. Entrusting Crow and Mayuri to look after things in his stead, Raiga gives Karina an elixir to see the world that normal humans are unable to see. On the way to the meeting point, Karina speaks of Shuji and the Tsukitonbo statue that he had made for her after they saw the spirit in the past. Eventually, Raiga and Karina arrive at a dam where the parent Spirit Beast, a Tsukitonbo, appears to pick its child up. As the reunion of parent and child causes Raiga to remember his own mother, he gives Karina closure that Shuji loved her very much to give her something created in a Spirit Beast's image. Sometime later, Karina wakes up at home with no memory of what has happened, but feels good about something she cannot quite remember. Raiga watches from afar, and heads home, only to find Mayuri waiting for him so they can return together.
