Of course Spoilers

Thank goodness that Kamiya is still alive. But Hinata finally realizes that he has gone too far and blames himself for causing all the trouble. As a final good bye, he apologizes to Konno right before he jumps off a cliff. But Konno and Morishige was able to catch him and  pull him up before he fell to his death. Konno won't forgive him for what he did. She tells him that killing himself won't solve anything and he should face his problems instead of running away. She vows that she won't let anyone else die. (No more people falling off of cliffs.)

They see helicopters fly over of them. So, they decide to follow the direction of helicopters hoping to find rescue. However, Morishige is not too happy to go home because she doesn't want go back to her abusive father. But Konno tells her that nothing will change if she remains here in the woods.  She suggests that instead of holding onto the hateful feelings for her parents, she should express those feelings into words and talk to someone about them. Konno will help her get through it. This makes Morishige to have some courage and decides to go home. 

Their journey comes to an halt when they come across a long bridge that looks dangerous to cross. But this is the only way to get across.

EP 12

Hinata manages to safely cross the bridge. Then, Morishige decides to go with Hinata because she thinks that they will find rescue much more quicker with two people. So, she safely crosses the bridge, while Konno and Kamiya stay behind and wait for rescue to come.

They are found and rescued by Igarashi sensei (Masataka Kubota) and the other rescuers. Morishige and Hinata are the first ones to be rescued. Then later, Kamiya and Konno are rescued by via helicopters.   

Konno wakes up in a hospital, surround by her family. Her family tells her the good news that all of her surviving classmates are alive and well, including Haru. Then, Hinata turns himself in to police and explains what went on in the woods. Morishige tells Igarashi sensei about her personal problems. And, Kamiya is still recuperating from her injury, but she gets to be reunited with her siblings.

In the end, everyone gets a happy ending and they were able to forgive themselves from what they have done in the past. Also, they are able to start over as the new school year starts.    


Thoughts: Phew! I'm glad to see that it had somewhat of a happy ending. I really thought that Morishige was the only one to survive because that's what the drama lead me to believe. But that's not the case. This show is so tricky.

Anyway, I kind of felt sorry that Usui gets left out in the end. They did briefly mention her, but we never know if the rescuers ever find Usui's dead body. What about her parent's reaction when they find out that their daughter is dead? Or, what about the outcome of the school's reaction to the tragic event. It could of had a bittersweet ending if they all would of had been standing in front of Usui's grave and having a moment of reflection. But oh well. This is a 30 minute drama, so they have to wrap up quickly.

Overall, I wouldn't say that this is my favorite drama, but it was an interesting psychological survival story to watch. There were moments when it gets a little unrealistic and melodramatic. But it did had good build up of tension. It made me feel on edge and dread for whats going to happen next.
