Ep. 24: Takanos Niederlage und die Auflösung des Festivals mit einem Happy End

The rest of the Yamainu concede defeat, but Takano is unwilling to surrender. After learning Nomura in Tokyo planned to use her as a scapegoat, she flees into the mountains and has a final confrontation with Rika's group. In the end, the Banken come to arrest her, but Tomitake, pitying her and seeing how she had been infected with the Hinamizawa Syndrome, takes her into the the Irie Clinic for treatment. At the end, Rika and her friends Hanyū, Keiichi, Rena, Satoko, Mion, and Shion, attend the festival. After the credits, Frederica Bernkastel manages to change Takano's destiny by preventing the death of her parents, thereby giving Takano a happy ending as well. Mion describes the final chapter as being like their version of Old Maid; the missing card has been added making the game one without any losers. (Source: When They Cry Wikia)
