I knew it though, I believe during episode 8 its just a dream... It was real.. I didnt know about it. But Yuuki appeared to Mirai so it takes time for Yuuki's Spirit to tell her he's dead Mirai should noticed it earlier... poor kid :(

This is kind of a weird episode for a series that's trying to be realistic :S, it didn't really fit in with the earlier episodes.

But it's very sad that Yuuki's dead (everything is pointing to it, as said before) I wonder what disease Yuuki had.

actually this kind of delusion makes it much more realistic than it would be otherwise... and I'm sure it's inspired by advice they got from psychologists and sociologists who are used to studying the after-effects of major disasters.

Oh look, I'm kinda late, this anime haven't really been my greatest priority : 3 Gonna watch the rest of it today/tonight though ^^

Anyway, this episode shows how chaotic a hospital can be during these kinds of incidents O.o
Aaaand.. Omg did he die!? xD
I could say that I couldn't care less, I think he was pretty annoying, but since I'd probably have people at my throat for saying that, I'll just go with, "Oh, how sad."
...wait, he didn't die?O.o Mirai's gotta stop dreaming >.<
Instead I'll go: Omg did Mari's mother and daughter die?: O
Well I suppose I'll get to know later : 3
Protip: I don't really check the forums anymore, so if you want something, take it on my profile.

I knew that Yuuki is dead even if it was a dream or hallucination. But, he indeed died due to death certificate as proof.

Yuuki has to be dead, why would Mari sign some legal documents, leave a voicemail to the parents, be all sad towards the end of the episode? We will have to wait until the next episode to see if this is the case.

Possible meanings behind this episode; Yuuki is dead, Mirai and Yuuki's parents are dead, or Mari's family is dead. However, looking at the posts in this topic it looks like it's Yuuki that's dead.

Wow, that was a bit random... I couldn't tell when it was reality and when Mirai's dream at all XD and I agree with the theory of Yuuki being dead and Mirai hallucinating due to the trauma of losing her brother..

oh god... i didn't even notice yuuki's absence in the last shot...

the surgery had a neon genesis evangelion feeling... and i was like oh crap... he's dead?

then when he's alive i'm like... what... O.o... but happy =P...

then Mari acts all strange and i'm like... why...

and she gets legal papers... and i'm like.. for what...

then... i go on MAL forums and it all makes sense...

wow... O.o... wow... damn... that's good, real good hints and pieces of the puzzle...

I'm studying psychology and It's a self defense of the mind when it puts some really traumatizing things in the subconsciousness.
But i didn't really notice anything that would point out Yuukis death for real. I guess it was sleep getting to me ^^, . watched it at 3am in the morning.

There's many clues pointing at his death and all this being an hallucination.

Holy crud, those dreams Mirai had? Bam, hammer to the freaking heart!

And I'm ashamed to admit that I didn't notice any of the signs that Yuuki might be a hallucination. Now that all of the evidence has been stated, it's either true or else they are purposefully planting the idea in our heads just to make the viewer more uneasy. Dang, I'm really excited now, I'll probably finish the show tonight.

Killing Yuuki is so unnecessary if they wanted to get rid of him it would have been better when the tower fell down.

Dreams inserted here and there.. it'd be interesting if Yuuki had actually died and it was just Mirai's imagination that he's alive.

Someone felt really wrong, really really wrong when she found him playing out there. And she was all happy too. And the enviroment too. Nothing bad at all, just peace. I believe he's dead. Whether he is or not, it it well-handled. You do not know what happens.

Damn, that was intense. I thought I just got faked out twice, but I didn't really realize that there's the possibility of Mirai hallucinating the entire time. With an ominous title like "White Morning", who knows...

Can't wait to see what happens now.

After watching the episode, I was quite sure that Yuuki is alive, but after reading comments I'm not too sure anymore. Mirai's second dream got me fooled, so it wouldn't really be surprise if I got fooled by her again.

Well, hell.

I noticed none of the signs that Yuuki is dead 'till reading these comments. I just thought our Sergeant was developing as a character and taking on more responsibilities. Hahaha, I love how one passing comment redefined the next like, seven pages of people's thoughts about this series.

I won't put that much stock that a series like this would actually do something like that. I still think he's alive. If it turns out that he isn't and the last episodes are a hallucination, this is an instant 10 and favourite series for me.

Yuuki is dead.

I was thinking concussion last episode his injury because of the tower falling. I mean, I'm pretty sure the whole series only takes a few days. He started throwing up, and falling unconscious, etc.

I thought that everything Mirai was imagining was heartbreaking, and that she's going to have a total break down next episode and it's going to be even more heartbreaking.

It's good to see I'm not the only one who came to the conclusion after watching the episode.
Everything is leading up to Yuuki being dead. Mari's sad face, her not talking to/looking at Yuuki, the documents she got, Mirai carrying his bag, Mirai suddenly becoming awfully positive, Yuuki not really interacting in the football game and more.
As much as I don't want to see this becoming the case, it's a really good twist. It's a pretty realistic post-traumatic effect on Mirai.
One of them dying was kind of expectable from the beginning... I'm sad :/ I really don't want to see Mirai breaking down in the next few episodes :/

I'm pretty sure Yuuki is actually dead.. since that would be the typical twist. And if he did die, how the hell did that happen? From very sudden exhaustion? Even if he is a little boy, he shouldn't have died that easily.

Why did it take so long for him to die then? Even though there were symptoms of being sick afterwards, there wasn't anything major enough for me to think he would end up dying. Plus he was running around like his usual self.

I just finished watching the episode and I am sure Yuuki is dead. When Mari read the note and said "'Together'?" I remembered her saying she was sorry to Mirai earlier in the episode and crying, and Mirai didn't know why (and neither did we, yet.) There are probably other signs I'm missing but those were the two big ones for me. It is sad but a great plot turn.
