Shouma tries to dissuade Kanba with no success while Ringo also boards the train, claiming she had learned from the present she got from Himari's friends the secret spell contained into the now lost diary. She activates the spell determined to sacrifice herself to save Himari and the others, but Shouma takes the burden to himself instead while Kanba sacrifices himself to ressurect Himari for good. The terrorist attack is stopped and both Himari and Ringo are found unconsious with no memories about the brothers or everything that happened. The same occurs for Masako whose brother Mario also fully recovers. While hanging with Ringo at her house, Himari finds a message left by Kanba and Shouma and starts crying without knowing the reason why while Shouma and Kanba, in children form, pass in front of her house accompanied by the four penguins.
