A brief recap of Toilet-Bound Hanako-kun season 2 episode 20

Toilet-Bound Hanako-kun season 2 episode 20, titled The Red House, began with Kou and Nene encountering the boy who looks strikingly similar to a young Hanako inside the red house. While Nene believes he may be Hanako’s descendant who could guide them to the Boundary, Kou realizes that the boy is actually young Tsukasa.

They attempt to contact Teru, but their phones fail. Just as Nene is about to exit the house with Tsukasa, a black mist swallows them. Kou wakes in a room with Tsukasa, who reveals that Nene has been taken by "it" because she tried to take him out. He’s forbidden from leaving the house, adding that Kou can still escape.

But Kou refuses to abandon Nene, in case he may not find the way back to rescue her, and rushes into the depths of the house despite the risk of getting trapped. Tsukasa follows, saying that only he can guide Kou through the house, as it is his house.

Soon, Kou realizes the house’s true nature. It manifests illusions drawn from one’s desires. Kou first sees Mitsuba, who reminds him of his promise to let him stay by his side forever as an apparition. Kou resists the temptation and presses on to find Nene. Finally, he encounters his late mother. Tsukasa knows his deepest wish is for his mother to return, and tempts him with an escape route.

Choosing it will bring his mother back in exchange for Nene. Realizing that Tsukasa has been spying on his desires, Kou asks him about his own. This brings a flashback to Tsukasa’s childhood. His brother, Amane, suffered from an incurable illness. However, with only a month left, he miraculously survived. As the twins celebrate their fourth birthday, Tsukasa is lured by a voice.

It’s soon revealed that he made a deal with this entity to cure Amane in exchange for a price, himself. Now the thing asks for the price, and Tsukasa prepares to sacrifice himself. He’s about to leap into a hole, but hears Amane calling out to him. Content that his wish came true, Tsukasa bids him farewell, and when Amane enters the room, his twin has already vanished.

The ending scenes return to the present as Tsukasa tells Kou that his wish has already been granted, which is why he can never leave the red house.
