Ep. 9: Otonashi dreams of the subway accident and learns the afterlife's purpose with Kanade.

While waiting for Kanade to wake, Otonashi dreams of a subway accident where he led survivors for a week before dying just before rescue. Upon waking, he accepts his fate and joins Kanade in helping souls move on, revealing the afterlife's true purpose is to reconcile past regrets. This mission aligns with Kanade's original goal. Following these events, both Kanade and Naoi are reinstated to their roles as student council president and vice president. The rest of the SSS mistakenly believes Kanade has reverted to her Angel form, but this assumption is incorrect. The narrative focuses on their cooperation to guide others through this transitional state, resolving individual regrets before final departure.
