    If you are interested in the ending of the book which Shinichiro wrote in the original series you will find out from this short. For me it was the only reason to watch it. Wasn't disappointed. The story ends really comforting. There is no music at all, so I just gave it the half of the score, beacue there is nothing to rate.
