She tells Jinta that she has a wish and that's why she came back as a ghost, but Meiko can't remember what her wish was.
To grant Meiko's wish, Jinta along with his friends Atsumu, Naruko, Chiriko and Tetsudo gather together for the first time in 7 years. Jinta soon realizes that he is the only one able to see Meiko.
