You animals stole my little Aira from me!
My darling Aira!
[wailing]
- [shouts]
[grunts]
- Give her back.
You filthy pigs!
- This sucks. Aira's weighing me down here.
What's the plan, Momo?
- The plan's to keep running! [grunts]
- It's one big obstacle course.
I can't go fast.
- That's okay! Keep runnin' and don't stop!
- You can't get away from me! - [gasps]
- You horrible girl!
- [shouts] - Momo!
- [groans]
- Give her to me.
You shrimp willy boy!
- That was cold.
- [laughs]
[laughing]
[shrieking]
It's tricky in here, isn't it?
- [grunts]
- Do you honestly think you can outrun my acrobatic moves?
- [gasps] - You can't!
It's okay, Aira.
If you really don't want to call me Mommy,
I don't mind.
As long as we can be together.
If I devour you,
you'll be part of my flesh and blood.
That way I can be with you forever.
Now, then, my dear...
I will eat you up! [gasps]
What is going on here?
Why can't I move any further?
- Didn't you say your acrobatics
grab onto anything and everything?
Thanks to that super ratty hair you're rockin',
you're all tangled up in everything you grabbed onto.
- [coughing]
- Way to go!
Dude, you ran away so good!
- Sneaky pigs!
If you think I can't get out of this damn trap, think again!
- Huh?
That's not good!
She's breaking the beams to try to get free!
- Like hell!
[both grunting]
- Let go of my beautiful legs!
You trashy little girl!
- Hurry! Go all out!
You still got a full charge.
So go all out and deck her!
- [snarling]
- I'll try but I've never fought before!
- Huh?
- With the aliens I was so freaked out,
I just started chomping away at them!
And with the bound spirit I was running as fast as I could!
I don't know how to throw a punch or anything!
- Why didn't you tell me that before!
Just give her a good kick!
- How do you mean? Like a soccer ball?
- It don't matter what kind of ball!
Just kick her!
[both gasping]
[grunts]
- [groans]
[gasps]
- I'm losin' my grip on her!
Do something!
- Damn punks!
I'm going to kill you!
- Kick her ass, Okarun!
Whoa, wicked.
You did it!
That's what I call goin' all out!
- Ow.
[groans] I feel like I'm gonna explode.
- [groans]
If that's the best you can do
to her with my power,
it's damn disappointing.
- [groans] Give me a break.
- Oh, suck it up, ya wuss.
- Now what do we do with her?
Should I get Grandma to exorcise her?
- Ah, leave that nobody alone.
She just got creamed by my power.
She ain't gonna be goin' nowhere for a while.
Mind if I check the girl?
You know, for the golden ball?
- Nope, go ahead.
Do it before she wakes up.
You got any scissors or a knife or something sharp?
My hands are startin' to go numb here.
- [groans] No.
I don't have anything like that.
- I should whip that jerk's ass for tying me up like this.
Why was that Acro Silky thing after her, anyway?
- Hey, Mom. - [exhales sharply]
- Did you find the ball?
- Oh, yeah. - Sweet!
Congratulations, Okarun. You got one of your nuts back.
- You are so humiliating!
- We might have a problem. - [gasps]
- What? What's wrong?
- This here girlie's dead.

- Nothing.
- If a plain ol' human gets eaten by a yokai,
they always die.
It's nothin' to get in a tizzy about.
Y'all were spared 'cause one o' you's got psychic power
and the other's got my power.
Count yourselves lucky.
- Okarun, do you know CPR? - I'm not sure I'm good at it!
- It's okay. I'm gonna massage her heart.
I can use my ghost hands
to grab it and get it pumpin' again.
- [grunts]
- Massaging it ain't gonna do nothing.
The heart's just a wad of muscle.
Y'all are wastin' your time on her.
- Shut up! If you ain't gonna help, take a hike!

My little Aira.
- Back off! We don't got time for you!
- Keep going, Miss Ayase!
I'll draw her away and buy some time!
- You'll never bring Aira back to life like that.
But I know a better way.
Give my aura to her.
Like a motor, life can't run without a battery.
And an aura is like a battery for living things.
Hers is fading fast but you can replenish it with mine.
- I don't believe a damn thing you say!
Ya ate her once!
How do I know you won't eat her again?
- [growls]
[gags]
[groans] Now I can't eat anyone.
But if you still don't trust me then you can smash my head in
with this steel beam.
- [gasps]
- Everything she just told you is the truth.
- [gasps] - The girl's a goner.
Unless you recharge her aura.
- [inhales]
I still don't believe you!
So if you make any funny moves-- any--
we're gonna crush your head like a mallet!
Go on. Fire up those powers.
Don't take your eyes off her.
If what you say is true and you can recharge this chick's aura,
let's give it a shot!
How's it work? Tell me what to do!
- Using your psychic power,
you'll have to create a link between my aura and hers.
It's the same idea as a jumper cable.
- Okarun, stay sharp. You hear?
- I guess.
- Here goes!
[alarm beeping]
[beeps]
- Let's sing some karaoke!
- No, I don't wanna! - Come on, please?
- You know I can't sing worth a damn.

- Thanks for being the bestest mommy ever.
[thuds]
- I can't remember what...
But I think...
I lost something dear to me.
- Mommy?
Sorry.
You're not her.
- Aira.
I told you not to go running off like that.
- But I thought that was Mommy over there.
- [groans]
No, honey.
Mommy's not here.
- Then where did she go, Daddy?
- We talked about this already.
Mommy's gone someplace far away.
- Will she be comin' back?
- No, she...
She won't be back for a while.
It's how it is and you have to be strong.
Gotta learn to be okay without her here.
That way when you see her agai,
she'll be proud of how much you've grown.
- Okay. I'll grow up to be someone she's super proud of.
- My child.
Where has my child gone?
Aira.
Yes.
I remember now.
I was Aira's mother.
I'm supposed to protect her.
And I will. No one will ever hurt her.
No one!
- [gasps]
What's wrong?
- [whimpers] - Yo, Momo!
You okay?
You went and did it.
You hurt her.
Now I'll hurt you. - No!
Wait! - [gasps]
- Leave her alone.
I'm good.
- [coughing]
- I'm so sorry, Aira.
I swore I'd protect you.
But in the end, all I did was hurt you.
I couldn't control my emotions and my rage and sorrow turned me
into a monster.
I must end this.
Now...
- Hey, what's goin' on with her?
Why's she fallin' apart like that?
- Her aura. It's like a battery.
When it dies, she dies. - [gasps]
- And with all the regrets she's dyin' with,
she won't be movin' on to the afterlife.
- Then where's she gonna go?
- Only place she can.
The void.
Nothingness.
She'll be erased.
It'll be like she never even existed.
No one's gonna remember her anymore.
Not the living or the dead.
A life like hers probably didn't mean much.
If her existence disappears for good,
she won't be nothin' to cry over.
- That's way too harsh!
It shouldn't be like that!
There's gotta be some other way for her to reach the afterlife.
There's gotta be!
- Well, it's up to her.
Findin' peace depends on what's in her heart.
Nothin' anyone else can do about it.
- I wish I could have bought more pretty dresses for you.
I wish I spent more time with you.
I should have played with you much more than I did.
I should have been a better mo.
If you were someone else's daughter,
you would have been so much happier.
With me you were miserable. [inhales sharply]
I'm so sorry.
- Mommy.
I love you.
I was happy.
The happiest in the universe.
Please take away their pain.
Let them be happy.
Grant them peace.
In a kinder place.
I won't forget. I swear.
