Episodes

On the first day of his new job, Tsukasa Mizugaki rushes into an elevator, where he meets a girl staring vacantly out of the window with a sad expression. He goes to Terminal Service No. 1, which is one of the offices in SAI Corp, where he is taught about Giftia. Normally, humans and Giftia work in pairs to collect expired Gifta, but Kazuki Kuwanomi, who is in charge of handling new employees, was not informed that Tsukasa was coming and thus did did not prepare a Giftia partner for him. Isla, the Giftia who met Tsukasa in the elevator previously, comes around to serve tea to the office, and is elected by the other office members to partner up with Tsukasa. The two, along with Tsukasa's trainer Michiru Kinushima and her partner Zack, go to collect a Giftia. Michiru tells Tsukasa that they are under legal obligation to collect Giftia before they expire. The group embarks on a subsequent job in which Isla is given a major role, but she fails the job, and in doing so causes a number of problems for the team. The team is then assigned a mission to retrieve Nina, a child-type Giftia owned by an old woman named Chizu. After multiple tries, Isla is unable to persuade Chizu to talk to them. Chizu overhears a conversation between Nina and Isla, during which Nina says that she feels it would be best if she is retrieved by the team. Chizu realizes she had not considered Nina's feelings in the matter and allows the team to retrieve her, but not before thanking her. Nina is then sent to the Terminal Service, where Giftia are gathered at the end of their lifespan. || Mizugaki Tsukasa reports for his first day at work at the android manufaturer SA`s Terminal Services section, but is unaware of exactly what his new job entails, as he obtained it through his family connections with SA`s upper management. He meets the members of the rather small section, and they explain to him exactly what they actually do: the most advanced androids produced by SA, the Giftias, have the most amount of emotion and human-like qualities of them all, however, due to technological limitations they have a limited service life, and it is the job of Terminal Services to retrieve Giftias that are about to reach their end of service. They work in teams with one Giftia and one human as an observer, to ease the human owners of Giftias into the process of letting go of their androids. Tsukasa is paired with a Giftia named Isla, an experienced veteran of the job, and they watch the process of retrieval done by the Giftia Zack and his partner Kinushima Michiru. One such retrieval goes smoothly, the owners having accepted the passing of their beloved android, while the second one is much more difficult, the old lady owner slamming her door in the faces of Terminal Services personnel for the third time. Tsukasa and Isla over the next several days attempt to reach the old lady, as her android`s service life will end in only a few more days. Isla tries to climb over the wall and in so doing is seen by the android, that is in the form of a little girl, and she convinces her owner to let them in. Thus they manage to reach the old lady and convince her to accept the retrieval of her Giftia.

Tsukasa meets Yasutaka Hanada, a spotter and a ten-year veteran at Terminal Service No. 1, whose aloof behavior surprises him. When Yasutaka asks him about how he got the job, Tsukasa reveals that his father is a friend of one of the higher-ups in the company, who decided to help him after he failed his entrance exams. Later on, after scolding Tsukasa for failing to retrieve a Giftia with Isla, Michiru vents her anger to Zack and Yasutaka before being asked by Kazuki about Isla's condition. Kazuki later takes Tsukasa out for a drink and asks him about his work compatibility with Isla, but deduces the communication problems between the two of them before even getting a response. She then apologizes for partnering Tsukasa with Isla and then expresses her frustration at ripping memories apart as part of her job. Tsukasa is then sent to the Unit Testing Room, where he meets Eru Miru and Mikijiro Tetsuguro, who are measuring Isla's physical skills. He then asks Isla about the physical training, and she tells him of her belief that she is holding him back because of all the time she spent off the field. Because of this, Tsukasa decides to do the negotiating with Giftia owners instead of Isla, in spite of the fact that it isn't what a spotter does. The next day, he begins putting together his own manual about owner negotiations and is assisted by Michiru and Zack. Once he is finished, he comes across Yasutaka, who learns about Isla's visits to the Unit Testing Room and remarks the pointless nature of those visits. When Tsukasa asks him about it, Yasutaka replies that Isla's physical capabilities are on a consistent decline that cannot be fixed, a characteristic of Giftia. Later on, Tsukasa and Isla successfully retrieve the Giftia they were previously assigned to, while Kazuki and Yasutaka talk about Isla's lifespan, which is set to expire in less than 2,000 hours, giving her less than three months to live. || Tsukasa and Isla continue their work, and he finds that despite being a nine-year veteran of Terminal Services she seems to be much more clumsy than might be expected. Their attempts to retrieve an android in the role of a machinist`s apprentice go awry when she startles the android and his owner, and she trips and falls attempting to chase them. He learns that she has not been working in the field like that for some years and thinks that she just needs to get back into her groove. He watches her undergoing training. As such, he attempts to do some of the work of negotiating with the owners of Giftias himself, and sets out writing a manual describing the process. He manages to accomplish the retrieval of the machinist`s android in that way. His colleagues however, know the real reason behind Isla`s quirks: she is very near her end of service as well, and will reach that point in about 2000 more hours.

The Terminal Service No. 1 staff receives seven brand-new retrieval missions, and Tsukasa and Isla are assigned to retrieve a Giftia named Marcia. They are also warned of the presence of criminals who assume the identities of Terminal Service employees to retrieve Giftia and sell them on the black market. Tsukasa and Isla head to Marcia's residence, where they learn she is raising her owner, Souta, in the role of an older sister after his parents died. When Souta arrives home from school, he acts hostile towards Tsukasa and Isla, but is surprisingly willing to sign the agreement form to take Marcia away, citing that she is just a Giftia and adding that Giftias cannot be trusted in telling the truth. Unable to acquire a signature as a result of Souta's attitude, Tsukasa confides in Michiru about the encounter, and she advises him to solve the problem by having Souta believe he was truly loved by Marcia. As a result, Tsukasa, Isla, and Marcia decide to bake a cake for his birthday on the following day, and are assisted by Michiru and Zack. Afterwards, Michiru tells Tsukasa that she tried all she could to keep her father, a Giftia, from being retrieved, which resulted in him becoming a Wanderer, a Giftia that still retains its motor skills but loses its personality and memories, causing it to become instinctual and aggressive. Later, Souta returns home and is surprised by the group. Upon spotting the birthday cake, which was modeled after one used for his birthday three years ago, he remembers his family and tearfully apologies to Marcia. On the day before the retrieval, Souta is visited by a shady man, who claims to be Tsukasa and Isla's replacement from the Terminal Service and asks for Marcia. || New jobs are assigned to the group, and Isla and Tsukasa are given a job that involves retrieving a giftia that raised a young boy after the deaths of his parents, one of the so-called "android children". They are greeted warmly by the giftia, called Marsha, and meet the boy, Wakanae Souta, who is deeply troubled by the impending loss of Marsha, telling them that everything she tells them are all lies. They cannot accept his signature that way. The next day, Michiru hears about the story and offers to help since like Souta she was also an android child herself. They go over some old family pictures with Marsha and they tell him that the next day is the boy`s birthday, and they find the secret recipe for the strawberry tart that his mother used to make. Michiru suddenly shows up, changing her mind yet again, and with her help they manage to throw a birthday party for Souta that helps him to accept what will happen to Marsha. Meanwhile, Mr. Yamanobe is called to a meeting with upper management and is told that his section`s overhead is the highest in the terminal services division, and he needs to come up with a plan to cut their costs or else one will be dictated upon him. The day before Marsha is scheduled to be retrieved a man impersonating SAI`s terminal services personnel shows up at the Wakanae house, and tries to convince Souta to give her up to him.

While returning home with groceries, Marcia is suddenly ambushed by the man from the previous episode. Later, Tsukasa and Isla are contacted by Souta, who informs them about Marcia's disappearance, and they assume it is the work of a black market retriever. With only 24 hours left on Marcia's lifespan, Tsukasa resolves to retrieve Marcia and return her to Souta, and the rest of Terminal Service No. 1 joins the search. The following day, the office narrows down the search to an area where a black market retrieval service is possibly located, although their efforts are hindered by a unit from R. Security, a private security firm that was hired to assist in the investigation. Kazuki confronts the unit's supervisor, Shinonome, who gives her a map of the area under scrutiny. As the retrievers get ready to converge on the area, Tsukasa is equipped with and learns about a gun-like device designed to forcibly crash all of a Giftia's functions when they turn into Wanderers. He is then approached by Kazuki, who asks him if Isla will be able to handle the situation, but is forced to drop the subject soon afterward. Michiru later tells Tsukasa about how Kazuki tried to retrieve her father when he became a Wanderer, only for him to injure Kazuki and then be shot down by members of R. Security. Soon afterward, the black market retriever is found unconscious and it is concluded that Marcia turned into a Wanderer. Kazuki orders the rest of the retrievers to stop Marcia before she is destroyed by R. Security. Tsukasa and Isla find Marcia, only to realize Souta had been following them. Marcia then injures Isla and kidnaps Souta. Despite Isla's injuries, she and Tsukasa follow her to a rooftop, where Tsukasa nearly manages to convince Marcia to surrender. However, when Souta speaks her name, Marcia snaps and begins strangling him, forcing Tsukasa to pull out his software destruction device and prepare to shoot Marcia. However, Isla suddenly dashes towards Marcia, just as Tsukasa fires || The false Terminal Services man came to Souta while Marsha was out shopping, but Souta told him this, but he had his misgivings and contacted Isla and Tsukasa about the incident, and they agree that the man must be a black market retriever. Tsukasa, Isla, Michiru, and Zack begin their search for Marsha, knowing that her time is running out and that she might soon turn into a Wanderer, a berserk android, if they are unable to get to her in time. Yamanobe has called his superior and he authorises R Security, a private security firm contracted by SAI, to handle the issue as well. They spend all night searching but find no leads until the next morning they learn where the black marketeers are conducting their business. They are stopped by R Security personnel from entering the area but Kazuki admonishes their commander, reminding him of the heavy-handed way they dealt with the retrieval of the android that had stood as Michiru`s guardian, who had also turned into a Wanderer, and they are allowed to pass. They find the false Terminal Services man, who has been beaten unconscious, and Marsha, who has indeed turned into a Wanderer. Souta wanders into the area, and is attacked by Marsha, forcing Tsukasa to shoot her with a Terminator, a weapon capable of completely disrupting an android`s software.

Three years ago, it is revealed that Isla began blaming herself for not accompanying Kazuki when she retrieved Michiru's father, which wound up costing Kazuki her ankle. As a result, Kazuki retired from her position as Isla's spotter. In the present day, it is revealed that Marcia was hit by Tsukasa's device, although Isla was able to block most of the blow without being hit herself. With Isla now under maintenance for her injuries inflicted by Marcia, Tsukasa is reassigned to desk duty. After a visit from Tsukasa, Isla notes that he is still remaining optimistic despite what happened and privately questions his feelings about the situation. Once most of her maintenance is done, Isla returns to the office and realizes that she has been paying attention to Tsukasa a lot more closely lately. She confides in Michiru and Eru about it, although they misinterpret her feelings as being motivated by love and Eru decides to help Isla stalk Tsukasa. However, after multiple attempts at observing him fail miserably, Isla confesses to Michiru about her confusion on Tsukasa's unwavering optimism. Michiru then tells her that Tsukasa never forgot about the incident with Marcia, even neglecting his desk duties to go and apologize to Souta for what happened, and assumes that he is smiling out of sadness. After finishing the last of her maintenance, Isla returns to the dorm, only to find he isn't there. When night falls and Tsukasa has yet to return home, she goes to the office, where she finds Tsukasa learning that she has 1,000 hours left in her lifespan, which translates to a month. However, when given the chance to partner up with a new Giftia, Tsukasa declares that he wants to remain partnered with Isla, which makes her happy. || After their failure to save Marsha before turning into a Wanderer, Isla and Tsukasa are told to take a break from field work until Isla is declared fit to return to such duties. She remains in android maintenance for several days to check and repair her injuries, and they are relegated to desk duty. She tells Michiru and Eru about how she can`t stop thinking about him, which they misinterpret as her being in love with him. They help her essentially stalk him until they are caught, and then Isla tells Michiru that she can`t stop thinking about him because she doesn`t understand how he can go on smiling despite the incident with Marsha, and wonders if he has forgotten about it already. Michiru tells her about how, against orders, he went to see Souta to personally apologise for their failure, and that it seems rather that he is unwilling to forget, and it seems he goes on smiling because he is sad. Just as Isla is released from maintenance Kazuki finally tells Tsukasa about how Isla is only a thousand hours away from the end of her service life. Isla passes nearby and hears their conversation. Kazuki gives him the choice of continuing his partnership with Isla or ending their partnership and waiting until another giftia is assigned to them. He declares that he wishes to remain with Isla until the end.

One morning, Tsukasa decides to ask Isla out on a date. While trying to find opportunities to do so, he finds that Isla has been doing chores for him at their dormitory and the office. After asking her about it, he learns she is trying to be useful to him, much to his chagrin. When Tsukasa musters the courage to ask her out, Isla accepts his request and decides to go to the amusement park after discussing it with Michiru and Eru, later reasoning to Tsukasa that she felt guilty about running out on him during their previous time there. However, while reading Isla's diary, Tsukasa realizes that she and Kazuki often went there when they were still partners. The next day, the two of them go there and sit at a bench, Isla's favorite spot in the park, as she was able to observe the happiness and joy of so many people, which comforted her. After learning that Isla has never tried any of the park attractions, Tsukasa takes her on a tour through the entire area, eventually ending at the Ferris wheel. As they sit inside, Isla expresses her gratitude that she is riding it with Tsukasa. As he thinks about Isla's happiness, Tsukasa faints after working too hard lately, ending the date. In the end, Tsukasa wakes up and Isla apologizes for not telling him earlier that she has 1,000 hours remaining in her lifespan. Tsukasa promises that he will stay with Isla until the end, no matter what. He then asks if she would be willing to go out with him again, to which she smiles and takes his hand. However, as he sleeps, she observes him with a doubtful expression. || Tsukasa tells the boys of the 1st Terminal Services Section that he is thinking of asking Isla out on a date. They have varied opinions but Yasutaka encourages him to do so. Isla meanwhile has been trying to do all sorts of things for Tsukasa that wind up causing trouble, such as cleaning his desk and also disposing of papers he was still working on, and he winds up having difficulty asking Isla, but in the end he finally succeeds and she agrees to go with him, after he tells her that while it might not make her more useful it would make him happy. Michiru and Eru repair the dress Tsukasa had given her and she uses it on the day. They eventually decide to go to the amusement park, where Isla shows him the bench where she used to sit and watch people smile as they went by, where she sat with Kazuki. They enjoy themselves at the park until at the Ferris wheel Tsukasa suddenly collapses. When they are at home he explains how that seems to happen whenever he has to do something important. She tells him about how she has only about a month left, and he replies as he told Kazuki that he wants to be her partner until the very end.

During a retrieval mission, Tsukasa is surprised when the owner of the newly assigned Giftia opts to delete the latter's current personality and memories by replacing her OS and start over from scratch instead of handing over the Giftia proper, having done it several times already. Intrigued, he asks around the office if a Giftia who has gone through that experience is capable of retaining their old memories, but everyone replies there is no precedent to that. Later on, Kazuki announces that a marksman from the Terminal Service No. 3 office will be sent in, as the assigned Giftia and his owner have gone into hiding, and assigns Tsukasa and Isla to assist her. They later meet the marksman, Andie; shortly afterward, they have an awkward encounter with Eru, who mistakes Andie for her friend Olivia. After the mission is a success, Tsukasa learns from Eru that Andie is indeed Olivia, whose OS was replaced due to the company cutting costs. Later on, Eru tells Tsukasa that she reconnected with Andie and mentioned a carnival they used to go to together when Andie was still Olivia, which caused Andie to decide to go there. Not wanting to deal with her memories of Olivia, Eru tries to get Tsukasa to take Andie to the carnival instead. However, Tsukasa convinces Eru to come along, and they take Isla and Andie to the carnival the following night. There, Eru decides to let go of Olivia and create new memories with Andie, concluding it wouldn't be fair to either of them if she saw them as one and the same. Later, Isla gets lost in the crowd and Tsukasa begins searching for her, eventually finding her at a lonely walkway, terrified by exploding fireworks. After he consoles her, Isla brings up Andie and asks if her presence is hurting him. He replies that it does, but insists on continuing to be her partner. When she asks why, Tsukasa responds that it is because he loves her. Shocked and embarrassed by the sudden confession, Isla shouts that she cannot accept his love. || Tsukasa and Isla continue with their work, and they retrieve a giftia owned by an old woman, who opts to have her android returned to her with the software completely replaced, giving it a new personality. This choice surprises Tsukasa, and he begins to entertain hope that a giftia past service life might somehow regain some of his or her memories. They are later asked to assist a member of another Terminal Services section retrieve a giftia that has entered their area of jurisdiction, a giftia named Andy, whom Eru once knew before she was recycled, when she had the name Olivia. They succeed in retrieving the giftia, and Tsukasa is surprised at how direct Andy is in her duty despite the anguish of the giftia`s owner, He is later told that that is typical of how the other Terminal Services sections conduct business, and it is only the 1st Section that has a policy of caring somewhat for the emotional welfare of the owners of giftias that have been retrieved. Eru maintains contact with Andy and they become friends, despite the awkwardness. She winds up telling Andy about the festival in her home town where she used to often go with Olivia, and now Andy wants to see it as well. To ease the awkward situation she asks Tsukasa to come along, and he persuades Isla to come as well. While they are having fun at the festival, Isla gets separated, and Tsukasa looks for her, until he sees her just as the festival fireworks reach their climax. He confesses his love for her, but flustered and confused she turns him down.

In the wake of being shot down by Isla at the carnival, Tsukasa has maintained a heartbroken, depressed attitude that is evident at the office. Seeing this, Michiru asks Isla about it, and she tells her that she was just confused when she shot Tsukasa down and now feels guilty about hurting his feelings. Michiru suggests having the two of them live apart for a few days so Isla could have time to sort out her own feelings, and she transfers Isla to Eru's room and Tsukasa to hers and Zack's. When Tsukasa recovers from his stupor, Michiru consoles him and tells him the reason why she joined Terminal Service No. 1. The next day, Michiru sets up a lunch between Tsukasa and Isla, during which they agree to allow Isla more time to consider her true feelings. Later on, Michiru questions the effectiveness of her treatment over the whole situation. After observing Tsukasa and Isla acting like average coworkers at the office, Michiru approaches Isla one day and asks her about her feelings for Tsukasa, and she responds after a lengthy explanation that she does return his feelings. However, she concludes from this that she must stay away from Tsukasa. When a shocked Michiru asks why, Isla confesses to her that she has approximately one month left in her lifespan. Angered by this, Michiru confronts Tsukasa about it and asks for his true intention for confessing to Isla when he knew about her lifespan beforehand; he replies that he only wishes to make memories for the both of them. When she lashes out at him for refusing to see what kind of pain will result from his decisions, he insists on keeping Isla as a partner. When he returns back to his dorm room, Tsukasa finds Kazuki already there. As Isla also arrives, Kazuki announces she intends to dissolve their partnership. || Tsukasa is inconsolable after being rejected by Isla, and none of the efforts of his colleagues to cheer him up seem to work. Michiru tries to talk to Isla and suggests that they live apart for a time so that she can sort out her true feelings about him. They get Tsukasa to live with Zack in Michiru`s place, while Eru and Michiru move in with Isla. Michiru however inadvertently spends the night with Tsukasa and Zack instead, and the next morning they she is seen with Tsukasa, leading Isla to misunderstand and she runs away. Michiru and Tsukasa catch up with her and they talk, and Isla asks that Tsukasa give her time to think things over. Later Michiru talks to Isla more in depth and she realises that Isla really is in love with Tsukasa. Kazuki hears about the incident and she disbands Isla`s partnership with Tsukasa.

Kazuki elaborates that she is dissolving Tsukasa and Isla's partnership on the basis that romantic relationships in the office are not allowed, and intends to reassign Tsukasa to her marksman Constance while she takes charge of Isla. Though Tsukasa protests against the decision, Isla immediately agrees, later explaining that it would be better for the both of them. At the office, Tsukasa confronts Kazuki about her decision, after which she reveals she only did it to protect them both from the inevitable pain that would've resulted. However, when Tsukasa proclaims he still intends on staying as Isla's spotter, Kazuki cryptically tells him to leave the situation to her. Later on, Tsukasa and Isla go out on separate retrieval missions with Constance and Kazuki, respectively. During her retrieval mission, Isla agrees to befriend Sarah, the Giftia in question, at the request of the owner Antonio Horizon, whose lifestyle as a mafia boss made it impossible for the Giftia to live a normal life. Simultaneously, Tsukasa and Constance talk about Isla's work performance and how she had closed herself off after Kazuki dissolved their partnership three years ago. Constance then tells Tsukasa that Kazuki has faith in entrusting him with Isla. Returning back to the office, Kazuki reveals to Isla that she intentionally set her up for the mission and tries to convince her to stay with Tsukasa, saying that tearing herself away from him will only create painful memories for him. The following night, Isla muses about the unfulfilled expectations she had from her separation with Kazuki. The next day, she returns to the office, approaches Tsukasa, and explains her reason for rejecting him. Then, she proclaims that she wants to make more memories with him until the end and that she is in love with him || Kazuki disbands Isla and Tsukasa`s partnership using as pretext that workplace romances are forbidden, and Isla is once again Kazuki`s partner while Tsukasa is partnered with Constance. Kazuki explains that she is intervening because Isla seems to believe it better that things remain that way, and Kazuki has a plan to knock some sense into her. The two of them go on a retrieval mission for a giftia owned by a notorious gangster who acts as his bodyguard, but now begins to care for her after she saved his life so many times. The gangster tells his giftia to enjoy the time she has left, but Isla says that in exchange he ought to join them as well, because nothing makes one happier than being with the one you love. After they leave, Kazuki tells Isla to take her own advice, and admonishes her, saying that if she leaves Tsukasa that way his last memories of her will be painful ones. The next morning Isla comes into the office and finally confesses to Tsukasa that she loves him too.

In the wake of starting their relationship, Tsukasa and Isla have found it difficult to talk to one another without being embarrassed. However, Tsukasa is able to ask Isla out to dinner. At the office, their approving colleagues decide to give them advice on how to appease the other. At Kazuki's suggestion, Isla asks Michiru to help her learn how to cook for Tsukasa. However, upon finding out she doesn't know any of Tsukasa's favorite foods, Isla asks him, only for Constance to suggest that the two of them just cook together. After debating on what to cook for dinner, Tsukasa suggests rice omelettes. Later on, the two travel to Antonio's manor to visit Sarah. There, Tsukasa asks Sarah what would make her happy, and she recites a sentence Isla told her during her last visit, that people are at their happiest when they are with the ones they love. Afterwards, they go to the shopping mall to purchase herbs and pajamas for Isla, after which Tsukasa admits he doesn't know what to do to make her happy. She responds that she is already happy spending time with him. Returning home, the two begin cooking rice omelettes, and although the final product was not what they were expecting, they are able to enjoy it nevertheless. Isla then allows Tsukasa to read her latest diary entries, both of which recount the days she spent with him. When Tsukasa goes to sleep, Isla adds a new entry, in which she expresses her hope that she would be able to spend another wonderful day with him. || Isla and Tsukasa are happy finally being a couple, and their colleagues cheer them on. They try to think of ways to make their time together meaningful, and they hear that the best way would be to do something surprising for their partner. Isla thinks of cooking lunch for Tsukasa, and she asks Michiru who is good at cooking to teach her, but she doesn`t know what sort of food Tsukasa likes. She asks him, but he says he just wants to have dinner with her, and Constance suggests that they try to cook together. They try to do so and make some messes doing it but they eventually produce something edible.

In the middle of the night, Isla breaks down in tears and sleeps in Tsukasa's bed for comfort. The next morning, she has reverted to a bright and cheery personality, much to Tsukasa's surprise and relief. At the office, the other employees give Tsukasa tickets to a number of events that he could take Isla to. The two then use tickets given to them by Michiru and Zack to watch a romantic movie. The next day, they return to work despite having taken that day off. Following Isla's visit to the Unit Testing Room, Michiru and Eru discuss about the necessity of her increasingly frequent visits. Meanwhile, Kazuki approaches Tsukasa in private and gives him a retrieval agreement form for Isla, telling him to sign it. Overhearing their conversation, Isla decides to begin teaching Tsukasa how to raise the herbs she had been cultivating in her spare time, as well as how to make tea. While serving Michiru tea, Tsukasa is confronted by her about why he and Isla are coming to work despite taking the day off, and he responds that it was a part of their decision to carry on as they were. The following night, Tsukasa gives Isla the retrieval agreement form, and she gives him her approval in signing it. The next day, they go to retrieve Sarah, their last retrieval mission together. Before erasing Sarah's memories, Isla whispers something indiscernible to her. They then return to the office, where they find the others holding a party in commemoration for Isla's last retrieval mission. After the party, Tsukasa asks Isla what she told Sarah, and she replies that she told her of her hope that she would be reunited with the person they cherished. || The rest of the Terminal Services people continue cheering Isla and Tsukasa on, Michiru giving them tickets to the cinema and they are encouraged to take time off from work. They go to the cinema and watch the film, which is a touching romance which makes Isla hold Tsukasa`s hand halfway through, and spend a relaxing day. The next day, Kazuki gives Tsukasa the folder giving Isla as a retrieval target. That night, though he is deeply troubled, he signs the document saying that he accepts the retrieval. The next day they go to retrieve the gangster`s giftia Sara, and Tsukasa notices how Isla always whispers something to the giftias she retrieves. Terminal Services throws a final party for Isla. Isla tells Tsukasa that she whispers to the giftias she retrieves: "I hope that one day you`ll be reunited with the person you cherish."

It is the last day of Isla's lifespan and she and Tsukasa decide to first spend it by reading entries in her diary. They then spend the morning cleaning up their dormitory room and then taking a bath. They then head over to the office, where they take care of Isla's herbs and she leaves notes for the other employees. They are approached by an early Kazuki, who teases Isla for one last time. The two then decide to spend the day's remaining hours at the amusement park, which they enjoy to their hearts' content. Eventually, they stand at Isla's favorite bench, where she describes how she always observed the emotions of the park's many visitors and how contented they would be at the end of the day in bringing their happy memories home with them. Then, as the park closes, Tsukasa and Isla convince the operator to let them ride the Ferris wheel one last time after closing hours. There, they take turns describing what they love about each other, and Isla finally admits she loved the way Tsukasa held back his sadness and smiled, despite her worry over that characteristic. She then hands him her deactivation ring, saying that she wanted him to be the one to do it. Tsukasa begins crying, and Isla notes that it was the first time she ever saw him cry. He then puts the ring on, expresses his hope that she would be reunited with the person they cherished, and kisses Isla as her time expires. As he carries her to the vehicle, he is met by Kazuki, who thanks him for being there for her, which causes him to break down in tears. The other Terminal Service employees read Isla's letters, in which she thanks them for all the memories she had of them. In the epilogue, Tsukasa takes the same elevator where he met Isla and muses what it would be like if his lifespan was predetermined, concluding afterward that he would live that life to the fullest. Nine months later, he returns from a training course to resume work with Terminal Service No. 1, and is introduced to his new Giftia. || It is the day of Isla`s retrieval, and neither she nor Tsukasa sleep. They clean up their apartment and when they get to the office Isla writes farewell letters to everyone. They go to the amusement park and visit all the attractions, enjoying themselves as much as they can, until the park is about to close. They go to the Ferris wheel and are permitted one last ride just as the park closes, and they ask what are the things that they love about each other until they are overcome by emotion. As the wheel reaches its highest point Isla declares that is where she wants it to end, and full of tears Tsukasa puts the retrieval ring on her finger, whispering to her at the last: "I hope that one day you`ll be reunited with the person you cherish" just as she always did. Tsukasa is sent away for training for nine months and returns to Terminal Services to resume his work, and is assigned a new partner.
