Aeka
tries to persuade Ryouko to go to the world again to save Tenchi
but Ryouko has given up her hopes, "He won't come back."
But Aeka keeps persuading her with all her passion. Ryouko sarcastically
replies, "Why don't you go then?" Aeka's answer surprises
her, "If I could... but I want *you* to go!" She continues
to tell her, if the other world is about to vanish, Tenchi may
need her help. Washuu agrees, now that the power of the other
world has subsided, it may be possible to take him back. She says
her system is still active to send at least Ryouko. It is Aeka's
words that finally put Ryouko back on her legs again; "As
long as there is a hope, if you lie to yourself, you will lose
sight of yourself."
Ryouko is back in the parallel world and slowly approaches to
the window of Haruna's room. She is surprised as Tenchi appears
suddenly at the window. He now remembers her and tells her that
everything has been settled about Haruna. Relieved, Ryouko shows
her real feeling to Ryouko and admits that she didn't mean to
come again because Tenchi no longer needed her. "I'm sorry,
Ryouko, but I was sure *you* would understand me." Then the
twisted side of her nature comes out but Tenchi knows what she
really means. Ryouko pulls Tenchi into the sky to escape from
the vanishing world. He left his and Haruna's rings by the camellia
the table. "Tenchi, have the last look at this world."
Katsuhito stands in front of Haruna's camellia, which is now dead.
He gently speaks to it, "Good night, Haruna." Then his
sleeve is pulled by someone. It is Itsuki as a young girl. "Don't
be so jealous, Itsuki."
The life at Masaki Shrine is back to its norm. Sasami is baking
sweet potatoes with a bonfire with Mihoshi, Kiyone, Washuu and
Aeka. Aeka wonders where Tenchi is. Kiyone tells her he has gone
to the back of the shrine. Tenchi has been sketching a forest
over the lake. Ryouko comes to the place. "Did you think
I've disappeared again?" "If so, I'd come and take you
back." Looking at Tenchi, who looks as he used to be again,
Ryouko thinks she prefers him like this. She finds he has been
sketching. Tenchi points out his father used to do the same at
the age of Tenchi. "Drawing makes me feel nostalgic as if
there existed something really important to me." Ryouko and
Tenchi enjoys the scenery side by side. After this is shown a
few scenes from the OAV, the TV Series and the other movies are
played.
