Plot Nyaako, the older sister of Nyata, lies very ill in her room. By accident, Nyata drowns in the bathtub and, while dead or unconscious, sees his sister leaving the house holding hands with the psychopomp Jizō and follows them. He tries to take his sister back from Jizō but it holds on to her, refusing to let go. Nyaako splits in two, leaving Jizō with half of her soul while her brother runs away with the other half. Afterwards, Jizō decides to reincarnate its half of the soul as a flower and leaves.
