** [[FridgeHorror This takes a darker turn if the viewer recalls that]] [[spoiler:[[FridgeHorror Isla only has a month left to live]]]]. With three episodes yet to air, there are still unresolved plot threads such as the presence of R-Security and [[spoiler:Kazuki's revelation that Isla is about to become a retrieval target]] to take into consideration. To put it bluntly, Episode 10's sweet ending heavily implies that things are about to go to hell for Isla and Tsukasa from this point onward.

* While on an assignment with Isla, Kazuki comes to realize the truth behind the notion that nothing can make on happier than being with the one you love. This leads to Kazuki finally providing an explanation for her [[spoiler:ending her partnership with Isla three years ago]]. [[spoiler:After the disaster with Michiru’s father, [[NotSoDifferent Kazuki thought that she could prevent herself to emotionally tormenting Isla by leaving her partner.]]]] One look at Isla’s livid face, however, just shows how far their relationship and Isla’s memories of Kazuki have deteriorated as a result. It’s no wonder why Kazuki realized that [[spoiler:forcefully separating Isla and Tsukasa]] would only destroy any chance of Tsukasa maintaining good memories of Isla and vice versa.

* Isla’s long-awaited [[spoiler:LoveConfession]]. Finally getting over her emotional doubts about the impact of her limited lifespan would have on Tsukasa, Isla reveals [[spoiler:her true feelings for her partner]] in quite possibly the most tender and heart-rendering scene of the series yet. It helps to see an overwhelmingly high amount of emotional support from '''everyone''' in the Terminal Service Department. Seriously, you know this scene is gorgeous to look at when colleagues like Sherry, Michiru, and ''even Kazuki'' are seen tearing up from [[spoiler:seeing the two finally being together]].

* The end of the episode. [[spoiler: When Tsukasa returns to his apartment, he runs into Kazuki before Isla steps in. Just when Isla and Tsukasa were ready to accept their relationship, Kazuki declares that the two can no longer work as partners.]] Talk about a shocking (and a depressing) CliffHanger…

--->'''Michiru''': [[LampshadeHanging You know you’re just going to end up hurting yourself! You know there can’t be a good ending to this!]] Do you ''still'' think you can face it without running away?!? I… [[spoiler:with my father]]… I just ran away… I couldn’t accept it. Because of that, a lot of people were hurt. Do you think you can take responsibility for this until the end?!

* After all of her hard work in the Terminal Service department, Isla [[spoiler:only has 2000 hours (about ''83 days'') left to live.]] [[TheUntwist While this is not exactly surprising]], Tsukasa is the only one in the department who doesn't know that his partner has little time left, making this reveal even worse. [[FunnyAneurysmMoment Isla's silly antics from Episode 1 aren't so funny anymore, are they?]]

** The kicker? [[spoiler: She had ''no idea'' that Isla only had a month to live. With Michiru regretting every single criticism she gave to Tsukasa and Isla, [[PoorCommunicationKills it's heavily implied she wouldn't have been]] ''[[PoorCommunicationKills nearly]]'' [[PoorCommunicationKills as strict to the two had she known just how little time Isla had left]]]].

* Michiru was on the verge of convincing Isla to express her feelings for Tsukasa before Isla states that she must stay away from him. As Michiru desperately tries to get her to change her mind, Isla only becomes more convinced in refusing to express her love. [[spoiler: This leads to her confessing to Michiru that she only has a month left in her lifespan]]. Cue Michiru breaking down in the staircase, regretting every single criticism she gave to Tsukasa and Isla to that point.

* Andie forcefully separating a Giftia from his owner after having to hunt them down due to their attempt to runaway. When the owner pleads to at least be given her last week with him, Andie refuses, stating they may run away again. The Giftia seems resigned to his fate, while his owner can only watch helplessly as he's taken away. This causes problems for Tsukasa since Isla's time is nearly up as well, meaning he's going to have to deal with this same situation.

* Kazuki finally tells Tsukasa the truth about Isla's lifespan, which has since dwindled to [[spoiler:1,000 hours left (no more than 42 days)]].

Her first partnership goes downhill after [[spoiler:the disaster with Michiru's adoptive father and Kazuki's leg injury forces her to have a surgery]]. Eventually, [[spoiler:Kazuki]] ends the partnership and cleans out their dorm, leaving poor Isla as an emotional wreck. And it's pretty clear that she finds herself at fault... [[TheWoobie can someone give her a hug already?!]]

* The CliffHanger's resolution. [[spoiler:Tsukasa's shot kills Marcia just as Isla removed her limiters to rescue Souta at the last second. As Marcia lifelessly collapses, [[DyingAsYourself her eyes turn back to their normal color]] and Tsukasa's emotionally wrecked from what had just happened in front of him.
