Farewell, Lailaps

Farewell, Lailaps (さよならライラプス) is the twelfth episode of the Yohane the Parhelion anime series. It had an advance airing on September 10, 2023, and officially aired on September 17, 2023.

Summary
The calamity in Numazu becomes worse and the citizens are under evacuation. Lailaps is nursed back to health by Riko, but moments later, she disappears while Yohane and Riko were out.

As Yohane tries to figure Lailaps's whereabouts, she remembers more memories: Lailaps was talking because magic revealed itself that time, and her recent indifferences with Lailaps because she felt betrayed when Yohane insisted on going to the city. Piecing them together, she realized where Lailaps could be: The large tree stump from their childhood, now a twisted apparition of itself. After a short reunion, Yohane realize the source of her magic was her Resonance — an emotional-based energy, now corrupted and turned into the source of the calamity. The same resonance that appeared caused Yohane to create a partition of herself inside Lailaps, the split image that made Lailaps speak. After Yohane became an adult, she showed independence and Lailaps coped into spoiling Yohane. In the long run, Lailaps realized that she must accept Yohane's maturity, as she will no longer need her; the recent advances of her new endeavors and the new real friends she finally made. She resolves to give back the magic cast onto her, saying that Yohane must move on with her life.

Once the two make a compromise, Yohane's staff purifies their surroundings and the calamity disappeared. Lailaps reverts to a regular dog and Yohane thanks her for everything.
