Line 27 ⟶ 29:
The three walk along the walls once again, but this time they go beyond the church and into the main city, attracting stares. On their walk, they steal a gun from a pursuing police officer and mock a billboard advertisement for sports drink. In a residential area, Satoru reaches for a thrown-out trash bag and opens it looking for food, but is horrified to find a severed hand, and runs away from the other two. Falling off the wall near a grassy field and hitting his head on a rock, he stumbles dazedly while insisting out loud that he has to climb the wall again, before passing out from blood loss.
 
Coco and Tsumuji continue their walk, but a sudden burst of rain triggers Tsumuji's hallucinations, as it had rained on the day he killed his teacher. Coco comforts him and reveals that she, too, had killed a person; her identical twin sister Kiki, in a game of who-is-fake. They share a brief kiss, then conclude their walk at an offshore beacon as the sun sets. They open their picnic basket, which is empty, and mimic the eating of food, before CocoTsumuji suggests that shooting the sun with the police officer's gun may trigger the event. Tsumuji fires three shots into the sun, but nothing happens. Coco tells him that he is a lousy shot, then picks up the gun and fires the final bullet into her head, signifying the end of the world. The film ends with the feathers from her wrap bursting into the air as Tsumuji grasps her body, clicking the now empty gun into the sky.
