[SCENE START]
SCENE 1: THE SILENT CRIES[]
[SONG PLAY: Sixpence None The Richer - Breathe Your Name]
SETTING: The Abandoned Playhouse. It’s dusty, neglected, and slightly dilapidated. Sunlight streams in weakly, illuminating floating dust motes.
Opening Credits roll.
"Cocotama: Care for the Things Around You!"
"It's every day
I'm in this place
I feel this way
I feel the same
It's every day
I'm in this place
I feel this way
I feel the same
Is it all inside my head?
Is it all inside my head?"
(OPEN on a series of close-up shots of neglected objects inside the playhouse.)
"I view the list
And take my pick
I view my fate
And make the choice
'Cause it's nobody else's but mine"
SHOT 1: A wooden building block, chipped and forgotten on the floor. A tiny, nearly inaudible whimper is heard.
"But you're in my heart
I can feel your beat
And you move my mind
From behind the wheel
When I lose control
I can only breathe your name"
SHOT 2: A faded, ripped drawing tucked behind a dusty shelf. The edges curl like a frown.
"You are in my heart
I can feel your beat
And you move my mind
From behind the wheel
When I lose control
I can only breathe your name
I can only breathe your name"
SHOT 3: A small, broken tea set cup, resting upside down. A shadow seems to linger over it.
(INT. THE COCOTAMA HOUSE - DAY)
Inside a dollhouse-sized Cocotama House, which sits on a dirty table. The atmosphere is somber. The Cocotamas are walking around slowly, their usual energetic bounce replaced with visible sadness.
LUCKYTAMA (Sighing mournfully)
Oh, the silence is so loud today, Tama.
RIBBON (Tugging at her ribbon sadly)
Ribbon, ribbon... This place feels like a big, lonely sigh. None of these things are being noticed.
VIVIT
Even my magic feels dull when everything around us is so uncared for.
OSHAKI (Adjusting his glasses, which are slightly fogged with dust)
According to my calculations, the level of neglect here is critically high. These objects are deeply depressed.
MELORY (Tears welling up)
Waaah! My melody won’t even play here! Everything is too sad!
SCENE 2: THE WEIGHT OF THE WORLD[]
(INT. THE ABANDONED PLAYHOUSE - CONTINUED)
The camera pans across the room, showing a layer of gray dust covering everything. The air feels heavy. Luckytama walks over to a window, trying to look out, but the glass is so grimy he can barely see the garden outside.
LUCKYTAMA (Tracing a line in the dust)
Everything feels so heavy, Tama. It’s like the things are holding their breath, waiting for someone to remember them.
MOGUTAN (Emerging from the kitchen area, holding a stale, crumbly cracker)
I tried to find a snack, but even the pantry smells like... sadness. And old socks. It’s not delicious at all, Mogu.
OSHAKI (Opening a large, weathered book)
It is a scientific fact of the Cocotama world: when an object is loved, it gains a soul. But when it is forgotten, that soul begins to fade. If we don’t do something soon, the "Spirit Power" in this room will vanish entirely!
RIBBON (Flying up to a cracked mirror)
We can't let that happen! Every scratch on this table is like a little boo-boo that needs a hug. We’re Cocotamas! We’re born from the heart of things!
SCENE 3: THE MYSTERIOUS SHADOW[]
(INT. THE PLAYHOUSE - CORNER SECTION)
Suddenly, a strange, low humming sound vibrates through the floorboards. A pile of discarded, tangled yarn in the corner begins to twitch.
VIVIT (Startled, sparks flying from her tail)
Whoa! Did you see that? The yarn just moved!
MELORY (Hiding behind Luckytama)
Is it a monster? A dust monster?!
From the shadows of the yarn pile, a small, glowing pair of eyes appears. But the glow isn't the warm light of a Cocotama; it's a flickering, pale blue. A tiny, translucent figure emerges—it looks like a Cocotama, but its colors are faded, almost see-through.
THE FADED ONE (Voice echoing and thin)
Why... why are you making so much noise? Can't you see we're trying to disappear in peace?
LUCKYTAMA (Gasping)
A Cocotama? But... you’re so faint! What happened to you, Tama?
THE FADED ONE I was born from a beautiful silk scarf. But the scarf was dropped behind this trunk three years ago. No one looked for it. No one washed it. So, I am fading. When the scarf rots away, I go too.
The air in the playhouse grows cold. The Faded Cocotama, NEGBANDONED floats slightly off the ground, their movements jagged and flickering like a dying lightbulb. The vibrant colors of the main Cocotamas look almost jarring next to this ghostly figure.
NEGBANDONED (Pointing a translucent finger at the chipped block) Look at them. They aren't "depressed," Oshaki. They are accepting the end. The silence isn't loud—it's the only thing left.
OSHAKI (Consulting his book with trembling hands) I’ve read about this in the ancient scrolls... This is "The Erasure." When an object is truly forgotten by the world of the living, its Cocotama begins to lose its physical density.
RIBBON (Stepping forward, her ribbon glowing with a pink light) But we’re here now! We haven’t forgotten! We can share our energy with you, Negbandoned!
NEGBANDONED (Lets out a hollow, dry laugh) Share? You are but a few drops of water in a desert of dust. This whole playhouse is a graveyard of things that used to be loved. You can't fix a broken heart with a polishing cloth.
VIVIT Maybe not a cloth, but my magic—
NEGBANDONED (Suddenly snapping, their eyes flickering brighter) Your magic is for things that still have a spark! (They sweep their arm toward the tea set) That cup doesn't want to be mended. It wants to be shattered so it can finally stop waiting for a tea party that will never happen!
MELORY (Whimpering) That’s so mean! Every object wants to be loved!
NEGBANDONED (Fading back into the tangled yarn) Love is a human word. Here, we only have the dust. Leave us to our peace, or you’ll find yourselves fading just like me.
ACTION: THE CHALLENGE[]
Negbandoned vanishes back into the shadows of the yarn, but the low humming sound remains, now sounding like a rhythmic, sorrowful thrumming.
LUCKYTAMA (Looking at his own paws, making sure they aren't turning see-through) We can't just leave them like this, Tama. If Negbandoned disappears, that silk scarf is gone forever.
RIBBON We need to find that scarf. If we can clean it and bring it back into the light, maybe Negbandoned will become solid again!
VIVIT But the yarn pile is huge... and it feels like the shadows are watching us now.
SCENE 4: THE NEW PRESENCE[]
(The Cocotamas huddle together, their tiny shoulders drooping.)
RIBBON
I wish we could help them, but what can little Cocotamas do against so much dust and forgotten-ness?
LUCKYTAMA (Looking around with despair)
It seems like nobody has even thought about this playhouse—or the things inside it—for months. They’ve lost their spirit, Tama.
(Suddenly, the door to the playhouse CREAKS open. Light spills in, momentarily blinding the Cocotamas. They all gasp and duck for cover.)
(A small shadow falls over the table. We see the worn tennis shoes of a young girl—maybe 7 or 8 years old—as she steps hesitantly onto the dusty floor.)
GIRL (MIA) (Whispering softly)
Hello? Is anyone home?
(Mia walks slowly, looking around the dilapidated room with wide, sympathetic eyes. She stops by the shelf and gently picks up the ripped drawing.)
MIA
Oh, look at you... You’ve been waiting a long time, haven't you?
(She carefully lays the drawing on the shelf, smoothing out the biggest crease.)
(INT. THE COCOTAMA HOUSE - CLOSE UP)
The Cocotamas peek out from behind a miniature sofa.
OSHAKI
Observation: A human child has entered the premises. Initial assessment: non-hostile.
MELORY
She… she touched the drawing!
LUCKYTAMA (A tiny spark of hope in his eyes)
Tama! Do you think she could be the one? The one to give these things new life?
(Mia kneels down and spots the broken tea cup.)
MIA (Picking it up gently)
Poor little cup. You just need a friend to put you back together.
(She holds the cup delicately in her hands. As she does, a faint, almost imperceptible glow emanates from the cup. The sound of a tiny, grateful sigh fills the silence.)
(The Cocotamas look at each other, their sadness replaced by wide-eyed awe.)
VIVIT
The light! It’s weak, but it’s there!
RIBBON
Maybe this is why we’re here, Ribbon! We have to help her help them!
(Mia slowly stands up, holding the teacup. She turns toward the door, taking a final, long look at the silent room.)
MIA
I’ll be back tomorrow. Don’t worry.
(She steps out, and the door gently closes, plunging the playhouse back into shadow, but the single, faint glow from the tea cup remains.)
The playhouse is quiet again, but the atmosphere has fundamentally shifted. The "Sadness Dust" no longer feels like a heavy blanket; it feels like a veil waiting to be lifted.
LUCKYTAMA (Springing out from behind the sofa) Did you see that, Tama?! She didn't just look at the cup—she saw it!
RIBBON (Doing a little twirl) And did you hear what she said? "I'll be back tomorrow." That’s a promise! A real, human promise!
OSHAKI (Cleaning his glasses vigorously) My data was incomplete! I factored in neglect, but I failed to account for the "Mia Variable." Her touch recalibrated the cup’s spiritual frequency. Look!
(They all gather around the small tea cup Mia left on the table. The faint glow isn't fading; it’s pulsing like a tiny, slow heartbeat.)
VIVIT But wait—what about Negbandoned? If Mia comes back to fix things, will they be happy, or will they be scared?
NEGBANDONED (Voice echoing from the dark corner) ...She touched the paper.
(The tangled yarn pile rustles. Negbandoned emerges, their translucent form flickering rapidly. They look less angry now and more... confused.)
NEGBANDONED She smoothed the crease. Humans... they usually just throw away the wrinkled things. Why did she stay?
MELORY (Skipping toward Negbandoned, though still keeping a safe distance) Because she has a big heart, just like us! If she finds your silk scarf, she’ll probably wash it and make it soft again!
NEGBANDONED (Looking down at their own see-through hands) To be soft again... I’ve forgotten what that feels like. But the dust is still thick, and the trunk is heavy. She might not find me.
LUCKYTAMA (Pumping a fist) Then we’ll make sure she does! We’re the Cocotamas of this house. We’re going to be Mia’s invisible assistants!
RIBBON Tomorrow, when she comes back, we’ll lead her right to the scarf! We’ll push, we’ll pull, and we’ll glow if we have to!
OSHAKI We must prepare. We need a tactical plan to move the dust bunnies and highlight the objects of priority.
(The Cocotamas start cheering, their natural energy finally returning. In the corner, Negbandoned doesn't disappear this time. They sit on the edge of the yarn, watching the glowing tea cup with a tiny, flickering glimmer of hope in their pale blue eyes.)
Scene 5: DISCOVERY AND DETERMINATION[]
(THE NEXT DAY. INT. ABANDONED PLAYHOUSE - CONTINUOUS)
The Conductors enter: KOKORO YOTSUBA, NOZOMI SAKURAI, HIKARI CHONO, and HARUKA HOSHINOGAWA. They stop, shocked by the amount of dust and disrepair.
KOKORO (Whispering)
Oh no… it’s worse than I thought. This playhouse… it looks like nobody has loved it in months.
NOZOMI
Look at the windowpanes. They’re cracked. And the floorboards are sticky and warped.
HARUKA (Rushing to the dusty tea set cup)
Awww! This little cup is so grimy! It looks like it wants to be used for a pretend party, but it can’t even shine!
HIKARI (Kneeling down near a pile of old art supplies)
Even these crayons are broken into tiny pieces. They still have color left in them, but they’ve been tossed aside.
(The Cocotamas rush out of the Cocotama House to greet their Conductors, their sadness evident.)
LUCKYTAMA
Kokoro! It’s terrible! The objects here are tired. They want to fulfill their purpose, but they’re too broken or dirty.
RIBBON
They need friends! They need someone to show them care!
KOKORO (Looking around, her expression hardening with resolve)
You’re right, Luckytama. Every single object—whether it’s a big playhouse structure or a tiny toy—deserves to be cared for. It came from someone’s effort and it holds a spark of happiness.
NOZOMI
So, we clean it up?
KOKORO
We don’t just clean, Nozomi. We restore. We show these items respect. We need to remind everyone how important it is to treat things with kindness, because that’s how Cocotamas are born in the first place!
HARUKA
Let's make this place glitter and sparkle again! Ribbon, are you ready?
RIBBON
Ribbon, ribbon! Ready to shine!
HIKARI
Raichi, grab the rags! We start with the surfaces!
RAICHI (Sparking up)
Raichi! Let’s light up this mess!
SCENE 6: THE COCOTAMA CLEANING FORCE[]
(INT. ABANDONED PLAYHOUSE - MOMENTS LATER)
The Conductors and Cocotamas are a flurry of determined activity. The atmosphere is still dusty, but now filled with energetic sounds.
NOZOMI and OSHAKI are carefully gathering the broken items onto a large cloth, sorting them by material (wood, plastic, paper).
OSHAKI (Wiping his brow with a tiny cloth)
This is a comprehensive organization effort! The structural integrity of this toy block is compromised by this chip. We will need an adhesive solution.
NOZOMI (Holding up the chipped wooden block)
We can use the special wood putty we brought! It’s all fixable, Oshaki. We just need patience.
KOKORO and LUCKYTAMA are sweeping the dust-covered floor. Luckytama uses his tiny body like a vacuum, rolling over the big dust bunnies.
KOKORO (Coughing into her sleeve)
Phew! It's so dusty, I can barely see!
LUCKYTAMA
Don’t worry, Kokoro! A little bit of happy sweeping makes a huge difference, Tama! LUCKYTAMA-O! (He beams, and the sweeping dust seems to settle faster).
HARUKA and RIBBON are tackling the filthy tea set.
HARUKA (Gently scrubbing the tiny, broken teacup from Scene 1)
Poor little cup. You just need a bath. See? You still have so much charm!
RIBBON (Using her ribbon magic to gently polish a saucer)
Shine, shine, ribbon! We’ll get that sparkle back!
(A noticeable difference begins to occur. Patches of the floor are clean. Some of the toys look less gray and more like their original colors.)
HIKARI (Holding up the broken crayons)
What about these, Haruka? They can’t draw anymore like this.
HARUKA
They can if we melt them down and mold them into new, colorful shapes! Nothing is too broken to be reborn!
(The Cocotamas look around, their spirits lifting as the room changes. The heavy, sad feeling is slowly being replaced by warmth.)
VIVIT (Beaming)
The air feels lighter! I think the objects are beginning to feel our kindness!
(Suddenly, OSHAKI freezes, pointing a trembling hand toward the window.)
OSHAKI
Conductors! Cease activity! I detect unauthorized surveillance!
(Peeking through the dusty, cracked windowpane is the small face of MIA, the little girl from Part 1, watching them work with a curious and amazed expression. She quickly pulls back, hiding.)
KOKORO
Who was that?
NOZOMI
I think it was the little girl who lives next door. She uses this playhouse sometimes.
KOKORO (A slow, thoughtful smile spreads across her face)
Perfect. We're not just doing this for the items, we're doing it for the people who use them. We need to show her—and everyone—the power of caring for the world around us.
(Kokoro holds up a freshly cleaned, brightly colored wooden block.)
KOKORO
Let's keep going! Let's make this the happiest, most cared-for playhouse in the neighborhood!
(The group cheers and gets back to work with renewed vigor. The screen focuses on the wooden block, which now glows with a tiny, hopeful Cocotama-like spark.)
SCENE 7: COCOTAMA COLLABORATION[]
(INT. ABANDONED PLAYHOUSE - LATER AFTERNOON)
The playhouse is already transformed. Half the room is sparkling clean, and the air is free of dust. The Cocotamas and Conductors are working in perfect harmony.
(Inside, the Cocotamas work alongside their partners. MOGUTAN chews up old, moldy material, GERACHO uses his laugh power to make the tasks feel lighter, and NICOLIE helps sort tiny nails and screws.)
KOKORO (Finishing up scrubbing a section of the wall)
This is amazing, everyone! We're almost done with the main structure!
NOZOMI
We should check outside next. The trim needs painting, and those broken flowerpots need fixing.
LUCKYTAMA (Wiping down a shelf)
Almost there, Tama! We are making happiness bloom!
HARUKA (Singing softly while braiding a new ribbon for a dilapidated doll)
~A little care, a little love, makes everything new!~
GERACHO (Letting out a hearty, infectious laugh)
Geracho! Look at these colors reappear! Everything looks so funny and happy! (The Conductors laugh along, energized by Geracho's magic.)
HIKARI (Working with Nicolie)
Thank you, Nicolie, for helping me organize the hardware. There's no way I could sort these tiny screws this fast!
NICOLIE (Adjusting her spectacles)
It is my pleasure. Precise categorization is essential for effective restoration. Now, observe: these tiny rust spots need immediate attention.
MOGUTAN (Having just finished his chewing task, he burps lightly)
Mogutan! All the yucky old material is gone! Time for a snack!
THE NEW ALLY[]
NEGBANDONED steps out from behind a now-vibrant silk curtain. Their form is no longer see-through or flickering; they are a solid, deep indigo Cocotama with a tiny, silver-threaded scarf wrapped around their neck.
NEGBANDONED (Bowing deeply to the Conductors) You didn't just save my scarf. You saved my soul. I forgot that humans could be so... careful.
RIBBON (Flying over to give Negbandoned a hug) Ribbon, ribbon! We’re so glad you’re back to your old self! Or maybe... an even better new self!
OSHAKI According to my revised records, we have successfully prevented "The Erasure." This playhouse is now a Level 10 Sanctuary of Care.
MIA’S RETURN[]
The sound of small footsteps approaches. The Conductors and Cocotamas scramble to their hiding spots just as MIA pushes the door open. She isn't alone; she’s dragging her mother by the hand.
MIA (Her voice full of wonder) See, Mommy? I told you! The Magic Helpers came!
MIA'S MOTHER (Gasping as she steps inside) Oh my... Mia, I haven't seen this place look like this since I was a little girl. I thought it was too far gone to save.
MIA (Picking up the mended tea cup) Nothing is too far gone, Mommy. You just have to show it some kindness.
KOKORO (Whispering from behind the Cocotama House) Did you hear that? She understands.
LUCKYTAMA (Smiling widely) We did a good job, Tama!
SCENE 8: THE HEART OF THE PLAYHOUSE[]
(INT. ABANDONED PLAYHOUSE - CONTINUOUS)
The sun begins to set, but the room has never looked brighter. MIA is kneeling on the floor, her tongue poking out in concentration as she helps NOZOMI apply the final touch of paint to the wooden block.
MIA There... all better! You look much happier now, Mr. Block.
LUCKYTAMA (Hopping onto her shoulder, whispering in her ear) You did a great job, Tama!
MIA (Giggling and reaching up to gently pat Luckytama's head) It feels different in here now. It’s like the walls are hugging me.
THE TRANSFORMATION OF NEGBANDONED[]
From the shadows behind the trunk, NEGBANDONED steps out. Their body is no longer a ghostly, flickering blue. As Mia promised to be better, a wave of warmth surged through the room, turning Negbandoned’s color into a beautiful, solid indigo—the exact color of the silk scarf they were born from.
NEGBANDONED (Floating toward Mia, their voice now clear and steady) Thank you... for seeing me.
MIA (Looking at Negbandoned with wide, shimmering eyes) You’re the scarf! I remember! I was so sad when I lost you. I’m so sorry I let you stay in the dust for so long.
NEGBANDONED (Gently touching Mia’s hand) The dust is gone now. Only the memory of your warmth remains.
SCENE 9: THE COMMUNITY EFFORT[]
(EXT. THE ABANDONED PLAYHOUSE - MOMENTS LATER)
Word spreads through Sakura Town like wildfire! Led by KOKORO and MIA, children from both Hidamari Elementary and Sakura Town First Elementary begin to arrive. It turns into a grand neighborhood event.
KOKORO (Seeing the crowd) Look at everyone! The playhouse won't just be clean—it’s going to be the heart of the town!
NOZOMI Quick, Cocotamas! To the house! We can’t let this many people see you!
ACTION: THE HIDDEN HELPERS[]
The COCOTAMAS scramble in a panic, tails twitching as they dive into the dollhouse-sized Cocotama House just as the first wave of students enters.
LUCKYTAMA (Peeking through the tiny window) Whoa, Tama! Look at all those humans!
RIBBON (Whispering) We have to be very quiet, but we can still help from the shadows!
Inside the playhouse, the energy is electric.
- SEITAROU and AYAKA start a bucket brigade to bring in fresh water.
- ATSUHI and KIYOMI take charge of the heavy lifting, moving old furniture so AKANE and KINJI can scrub the floors.
- HINA and MINEKO begin decorating the walls with the restored drawings Mia found.
- HARU AOYAMA and AOI HIDAKA organize a "Repair Station," using the tools Nozomi provided to fix every loose screw.
THE "INVISIBLE" ASSISTANCE[]
Even though they are hidden, the Cocotamas can't help but pitch in.
- When MITSUHIRO almost drops a heavy box, MOGUTAN pushes from underneath (unseen) to stabilize it.
- When MIKU MOCHIZUKI can't find the right paintbrush, VIVIT uses a tiny spark of magic to make it roll right to her feet.
- GERACHO tells jokes from inside the walls, and although the kids can't hear him, they all suddenly find themselves laughing and feeling more energetic.
THE REBIRTH[]
KOKORO (Standing with MIA and the massive group of friends) Thank you, everyone! Look what we did together.
The playhouse is unrecognizable. The walls are painted in bright pastel colors, the floor is buffed to a shine, and every toy—from the wooden blocks to the cherry blossom scarf—is perfectly placed. It no longer looks like an "abandoned" place; it looks like a palace for imagination.
MIA (Holding the hand of her new friend, Kokoro) I’m never going to let it get dusty again. I’m going to bring everyone here every day!
KOKORO That’s the secret, Mia. When we use things with love, they never truly get old.
FINALE: A SECRET CELEBRATION[]
(INT. COCOTAMA HOUSE - NIGHT)
The humans have all gone home, leaving the playhouse quiet and beautiful under the moonlight. The Cocotamas emerge from their house, looking out at the magnificent room.
NEGBANDONED (Stepping out, now fully bright and solid) I’ve never seen so much "Care Energy" in one place. It feels like... a warm bath.
LUCKYTAMA We did it, Tama! The things are happy, the humans are happy, and we made a new friend!
ALL COCOTAMAS (In unison) COCO-COCO-COCOTAMA!
(They all join in a giant group hug as the camera pans up to the starry sky over Sakura Town.)
ENDING[]

SCENE 7: POST-CREDITS PSA: THE PLEDGE
(EXT. PLAYHOUSE - SUNSET)
The sun is setting behind the beautifully restored playhouse. The atmosphere is warm and golden. KOKORO YOTSUBA stands alone, looking directly at the camera.
KOKORO
Hi everyone! Did you see how sad our playhouse was when we forgot about it?
(She takes a step closer, extending her hands slightly towards the camera.)
KOKORO
Every single thing around you—your toys, your books, your clothes, even your school supplies—came into existence because someone poured effort into making them. And just like people, things get sad and tired when they are ignored or mistreated.
(HIKARI CHONO and HARUKA HOSHINOGAWA run up and stand beside Kokoro.)
HIKARI
Taking care of your belongings means they will last longer!
HARUKA
And they’ll make wonderful Cocotamas feel happy!
(MAKOTO YOTSUBA and MIA run up next to Hikari.)
MAKOTO
Try fixing something small today!
MIA
Don't wait until it's completely broken! Check on your things!
(HINA HOSHINO and NOZOMI SAKURAI run up next to Haruka.)
HINA
A little wipe down! A little repair!
NOZOMI
Show them appreciation!
(The complete group stands in line, ready for their final message: Makoto, Mia, Hikari, Kokoro, Haruka, Hina, and Nozomi.)
KOKORO
Remember, everyone: whether it’s a tiny toy or a big building, if you treat it with kindness, it will smile back at you! Respect your belongings, and you’ll find that they bring you even more lasting joy!
EVERYONE (In Unison) Let's protect the heart of our things!
THE GRAND FINALE POSE[]
As the final notes of "Breathe Your Name" echo softly in the background, the group strikes their final, iconic pose:
- MAKOTO & MIA: On the far left, each with one hand thrust high into the air, faces full of pure excitement.
- HIKARI: Standing tall next to them, one hand raised confidently toward the sky.
- KOKORO: At the center of it all, both hands raised high above her head in a gesture of total victory and joy.
- HARUKA: To Kokoro's right, one hand raised with a bright, cheerful wink.
- HINA: Looking upward with wonder, one hand reaching toward the stars.
- NOZOMI: On the far right, waving a gentle hand with a calm, closed-mouth smile.
THE COCOTAMA BURST[]
Suddenly, from the roof of the playhouse, the entire Cocotama Squad—Luckytama, Ribbon, Vivit, Raichi, Melory, Oshaki, Geracho, Kirarise, Mogutan, Sarine, Parine, Mishil, Kanna, Pillow, Chaco, Ruby, Pikota, Chocolancy, Pocaline, Heaton, Renge, Pinko, and Nicolie—launch themselves into the air!
They trail shimmering trails of Happy Star energy, creating a rainbow of light that arcs over the children. NEGBANDONED is right there with them, glowing a vibrant indigo, finally home.
[FREEZE FRAME]
The screen sparkles with magical dust. Below the frozen, happy group, a final message appears in colorful letters:
"What will you take care of today?"
THE END.
"Cocotama: Care for the Things Around You!"
