Action resumes two years later in a rebuilt Tokyo. A cartoon cat appears on a
downtown television (similar in design to Maromi) and Tsukiko walks down the street
wearing a school uniform. She bumps into Kawazu, who looks at her and smiles. Ikari is
standing outside a building in a security guard outfit. Maniwa is outside of the hospital
writing equations on the sidewalk in a manner similar to the Old Man at the beginning of
the series. He is just about to write down a final number when he looks up and the screen
fades to black.
