Mu-chan and the yokai talk seriously about mortality and the differing lifespans. It's implied that Jiro was in love with Mu-chan's great-grandmother.
Tear jerking story about Kazuhiko and his late wife Namiko, who happened to be descended from a banana tree spirit, a Basho No Sei hence her green eyes and hair.
