The sad part about this is that there's a whole bunch of other kids that are missing too.

[Qashimo]

I don’t think she used to be “imaginary” I think they truly did meet “last Halloween” that’s why she has the wrapper with her, she just went missing after their meeting.

[taurusjd]

Don't lie. This is not your first time watching this. You came back for nostalgia.

[kwbipjr]

Start
You found me :)
End
You found me :(

[scarjo]

She's not a imaginary friend, he just saw her soul, and then found her dead body.
I'm kinda sad right now or crying because they had a good friendship

[GothelGrigore]

It’s not scary, it’s sad. Her body wasn’t the focal point here people.

[kira..]

"you found me"

I finally understand what she ment after 8 years...

[cjhammer]

Despite the ending being really dark and sad, at the same time, I found it somehow wholesome, knowing that she has someone by her side who genuinely cares for her and treated her like how any real-life friend would, despite the fact that she was dead.

[ditsydotsy]

Dude after all these years it still breaks my heart. Imagine how the little boy must have felt, when he woke up from a nice nap beside his best friend, and there's a rotting corpse of said best friend right where she was sitting

[GE-RN]

NO ONE TALKING ABOUT THE PURITY OF THE MOTHER? SHE LITERALLY JUMPED WHEN SHE SAW HER SON DBSNSNBENDNS

[Shisuig]

No matter how many times you see it, it always feels the same....

[RoseyBloom]

i think how she died is: she got stuck in a bear trap, and ate a candy to look for the note that says "YOU FOUND ME" she was waiting for someone to help her, and she died

[katiecat]

The girl didn’t lead the boys to her body for him to find it, she led him there to prove to everyone that she wasn’t

[juanmenez]

i thought it was going to be a sad story where he realizes his friend is fake but instead he has the sixth sense

[Nyokaiju]

I watched this back when I was 10, I'm 16 right now, it's strange cause it emotionally affects me way more now as a teenager than it did when I was a kid. I have so much more if an appreciation for this now, this is art, this is absolutely beautiful.

8 years ago, this animation scratched my soul, I was an impressionable child, now knowing the ending and noticing many details, it still looks hard, and the music makes it even sadder. The final scene becomes even more terrible because the brain begins to think about what the girl experienced at the moment she fell into the trap and how much she suffered, and the only thing she had was that very note “You found me”

[monosyar]

"I found you" "you found me"

*cries in "in another life" vibes*

[Chielitelife]

Since he was sad, she led him to her body to prove that she was no imaginary friend.

[damienrey]

this story still hits hard in 2024, i remember watching it in 2016, also regarding the theories some say the girl died a year prior to doesnt make sense as in the end the corpse looked too fresh to be so

also in the beginning theres foreshadowing with the bear trap mark on her leg

[Yoimiya_Lover]

Came back to this video for nostalgia, almost made me cry wtf
