** The school children ghosts from "Graduation" want to see off their classmate, the only survivor from a school fire, before moving on peacefully. It's one of the few stories that ends without Akiba needing to use his gun.

Ironically, her legs originally appeared as a separate haunting inside the elevator, but Akiba exorcised the spirit before the girl died, which is why her ghost never found them.
