Episode Description:
One rainy day, a woman is driving to pick up her daughter, Michiko from daycare. When she picks her daughter up and they drive back home, the mother apologizes for being late, but Michiko says she was playing in the sandbox, which explains why her hands are dirty. Her mother says she should have washed her hands. Michiko says she's sorry. Feeling bad, her mother promises to play in the sandbox with her next time. She asks her what she was making in the sandbox. Michiko says she was making her family. She says it's made her sad. Her mother asks why to which she responds that she died. She says how she was coming to pick her up, but there was a crash, and a splat... And she stood and watched as her mother died and eventually she herself died due to staying out in the rain for so long. Suddenly, to her mother's horror, Michiko turns into sand and falls apart. That's when Michiko's mother realizes something. She never made it to the daycare at all. She died in a car crash on the way there. As she turns to sand, she says sorry to Michiko, wherever she is now... At the park a son and mother are walking by the sandbox when the boy sees something move in it. His mother says that it was just two sand piles someone made being dissolved by the rain. The sand piles used to be shaped like a mother and child, and there is a tire next to them.
