Meroko is forced rather harshly to accept the reality of the lie the
surrounded her. Shortly after Takuto meets with his old girlfriend Hikari,
Mitsuki becomes jealous because he is no longer fawning over her. He meets him
in the hospital, and they kiss. Meroko witnesses this event, but she holds her
ground. Instead of acting jealous, she tells Takuto she wants to help save
Mitsuki’s soul. The team travels to the Shinigami world, and as they start
searching, Meroko knocks Takuto unconscious, as part of their plan to get
deeper into the concubines of the labyrinth. When they are found out, Meroko
shoves Takuto through the gate and tells him that she will ward the guards off.
She tells him she loves Izumi, while in her mind, she tells herself that she
must no longer follow her heart, and do what is best for her and everyone. She
remembers all of the kindness Takuto showed her. Arrows start to fly, and to
her surprise, Takuto takes them for her. She looks down and thinks to herself “The rain beats down, but I'm not alone anymore.”She and Takuto rush to Izumi and Mitsuki, whom are facing Sheldon (Jonathan’s true form). They stand in front of them, and scream "NEGI RAMEN” for the last time.
In the end, Takuto is a human, and Meroko and Izumi are a team again. She continues to watch over him, and always will.
In the Anime, Takuto has no memories, and he and Meroko are watching Fullmoon sing. he asks who he is, and Meroko tells him he is Takuto Kira, and he is here to make new memories. Takuto is about to become a ghost, and as a dark force surrounds him, she tries her best to hold on to him to stop it. He still disappears, and a single teardrop falls down Meroko’s face. She sees that the same darkness is trying to swallow up Mitsuki, and rushes to her aid, only to be captured by it as well. In a golden world Takuto is battling himself, unable to remember what he is fighting to hard for. Meroko is holding him. Takuto passes out, and Meroko tells the woman (I believe she was judgement.. I can’t remember) that she will trade her life for Takuto’s. The women recognizes Meroko’s selflessness, and turns her into an angel. Takuto’s soul flies into Meroko’s hands, and she holds it crying.
Takuto is in the human world with no memories. Meanwhile, Jonathan is playing with Mitsuki. The stuffed Meroko becomes alive, and leads Mitsuki to Takuto. from it comes Meroko in angel form. She tells Mitsuki goodbye, and stares at Takuto from afar one last time. A feather falls from her, and as Takuto looks at it and back at Mitsuki, he remembers everything.
