Synopsis
In the last hours of sunlight, Suvi and Ame are with Ren as she, and her familiar Taro, pass. With them, the magic seemingly disappears from the Cottage, making the home eerily quiet.

Out the window of the bedroom, Suvi spots a stranger approaching the cottage at its workshop, and alerts Ame to his presence. After Ame sends Ren off with a funeral rites ritual, she heads downstairs to confront him at the door, asking him of his business before she would let him in. The stranger claims himself to be an old friend of Ren's, and Ame asks for his name. He does not offer one, but instead some of his many titles, one of which being The Man in Black. Still shaken by Ren's passing and on an urgent mission, Ame requests that he returns another day, one year from now. Through the door, the man agrees, and when he disappears it is suddenly daytime again.
