As Faputa fights the monsters, she begins to reminisce about how she first met Gaburoon and how it taught her how to speak while she helped repair it. Down below, Riko, Reg, Nanachi, and their companions find Wazukyan, who has expended all of his energy and is on the verge of death. He muses how Riko and her friends' journey into the Abyss was the accumulation of numerous circumstances, and wishes them luck before passing away, leaving Nanachi to wonder just how far into the future he has seen. Faputa then summons the remaining villagers to come to her, and the group start making their way back up. On the way, they pick up Vueko who, due the Curse infiltrating the village, has begun transforming into a hollow. While Reg holds off the monsters, Faputa asks the remaining villagers to sacrifice themselves to her so she can gain enough power to end Irumyuui's life once and for all. All of the villagers willingly sacrifice themselves with the exception of Majikaja and Maaa, who are tasked by Faputa to make sure Riko, Reg, and Nanachi escape the village. Majikaja and Maa sacrifice themselves to ensure Riko's safety, while Faputa uses her power to completely destroy Irumyuui and the village. In the aftermath, Faputa finally has a chance to talk with Vueko, who is now near death. Vueko tells Faputa about what her mother Irumyuui was like as a human, and Faputa reassures Vueko that Irumyuui always loved her, as her memories of Vueko were the one thing she did not give to Faputa. Having found closure and redemption, Vueko passes away from the Curse. After Vueko is buried, Reg suggests to Faputa that she go on an adventure with them, just like he originally promised. While Faputa doesn't immediately accept, she does say that she will consider the offer. (Source: Wikipedia)
