Matsuri tries to forcefully stab Aono with her sword, but Aono moves out of the way in time; she still manages to get a wound on her shoulder. While Aono runs away, Yorito is left with an arm missing and he slowly becomes weaker since Aono is losing her Yaka powers. Matsuri tells Yorito to not intervene and goes after Aono. During the fight, Matsuri loses her sword, and Aono takes it up to shove it into Matsuri, but Yorito, not listening to Matsuri's heeding words, intervenes and he is impaled on the sword. Yorito then disappears in a flurry of paper followed by Aono's shrill cries. Matsuri does not hesitate this time to stab Aono. As the sun rises, Matsuri smiles to herself, as she can finally see the beautiful azure sky she had always wanted to see. Happy and contented she passes away and disappears. With Yorito and Matsuri both dead, Aono is devastated, but she is now human. One year later Aono comes back, and no one but she herself remembers who she is, or any of the incidents that happened. Aono become friends with Mana and Koyori and at the same time forgives Matsuri for everything. In the very last scene, the three of them go to the usual spot to take a photo of the sunrise. Koyori tries to get a drink out of a vending machine but it seems to be stuck, where Aono uses the effective kick from Matsuri, and the machine delivers the can. Aono then notices the wooden pavilion, where there are two empty cans of tomato and bean broth next to each other. (Source: Wikipedia)
