- Eun-tak comes home from school on her 9th birthday, chattering away at her mother, who's waiting with a birthday cake. Everything seems normal until Eun-tak sits down and realizes that she's talking to her mother's ghost and the universe has finally caught up with them.
- Eun-tak's death. Especially when Wang Yeo realises what's about to happen too late to stop it, and then when he collects her soul.
