The story then rewinds to earlier in the day as preparations for the school sleepover begin. Kou struggles with how to save Nene and fulfill his promise to Mitsuba, unsure of which to prioritize. Noticing his mood, Yokoo and Satou try to cheer him up, while Mitsuba watches quietly from a distance.Later that night, Mitsuba finds Kou alone and asks what's bothering him. Kou, afraid that Tsukasa might manipulate Mitsuba again, tries to reassure him. Their conversation is interrupted by a scream; an apparition is attacking someone. Kou and Mitsuba take it down, only to realize the victim is Natsuhiko. While Kou finds him odd and tries to leave, Natsuhiko brings up Nene and her short lifespan. He hints at knowing how to extend a life, information he’s willing to trade in return for Kou’s help in capturing the Sixth Wonder.Back in the Boundary, Nene and the group are searching for Aoi, but the area is eerily empty. A bamboo basket Aoi once carried begins to glow, and moments later, Aoi appears. She seems to remember them and says she slipped away to greet them. But Hanako is suspicious; she shouldn’t have been able to evade the Sixth, and she can see Hanako, which Aoi couldn’t before. As they prepare to leave, Hanako admits he doesn’t know the way out. Aoi then offers to guide them and brings them to what she claims is an exit, but it’s a trap, the Boundary’s trash pit, a place no one escapes. Nene falls in, and Hanako jumps after her.It becomes clear Aoi is working with the Sixth, though she insists this is her choice. She wants to disappear to a faraway place, even if it means betrayal. Akane, who suspected something was off, wasn't caught in the trap. Aoi says she doesn’t need him and attacks using creatures from the pit. Akane defeats them, saying her wish is the one he can’t grant, because he loves her. She coldly tells him to stop loving her and stabs him. Still, he refuses to give up and jumps into the pit with her.Meanwhile, Natsuhiko joins Kou and Mitsuba for the sleepover, warning them the Sixth comes for souls when people fall asleep. Once Mitsuba drifts off, Natsuhiko reveals that the key to long life lies with the Sixth, the Grim Reaper who controls life and death.The Sixth is shown reviving a bug Kou had destroyed, proving his power over death. The episode ends with the revelation that the oracle’s fall, Aoi’s descent into the far shore, was part of the Sixth’s plan all along.What to expect in Toilet-Bound Hanako-kun season 2 episode 16?
