On the last day of the switch, they wake up crying. Neither of them understands why they are crying. This is because their link has been severed as the comet is going to end Mitsuha’s life. This is their last natural switch.

When they cross the river to visit the place of the god Musubi, Mitsua’s grandmother says, “Beyond this point is ‘kakuriyo’. It means the underworld. In exchange for returning to this world, you must leave behind what is most important to you. The kuchikamisake.” Taki (in Mitsuha’s body) asks, “The kuchikamisake?”. Grandmother replies, “You’ll offer it inside the god’s body. It is half of you.” When Taki crosses the river again three years later, he remembers that the other side of the river is the ‘underworld’. What will he leave behind that is most important to him? His memory of Mitsua. Likewise for Mitsua, when she wakes across the river in Taki’s body three years in her future. When she leaves the ‘underworld’, she also has to leave behind what is most important to her, her memory of Taki. Their connection has been severed. They don’t realize it but they tear up right after the trip to the Shrine.
