Clannad - Afterstory. - [episode 6]

It is revealed that Katsuki is a boy who Misae met in the past while he was in a wheelchair in the hospital. Her kind words encouraged him to recover. Years later, he searches for her with the hopes of paying her back. He holds a charm which contains a light that can grant a single wish. Misae considers him annoying, since he is constantly following her around. She doesn't want him to feel indebted to her and tells him she doesn't want anything. However, she gradually comes to care for him. After a misunderstanding during which she realizes that her crush Igarashi doesn't like her back, she starts liking Katsuki after being comforted by him.

After enjoying some time with Misae at the Fall Festival, he brings up the issue of the charm and opens it, revealing it to be empty. Misae says it doesn't matter and that what's important is that they are together. She then wishes for Shima to always love her, and then kisses him. He tells her he also loves her and thanks her for all the happy memories she gave him while sobbing. Embarrassed, she goes to buy some drinks, but when she comes back, he has disappeared. She searches for him only to see a flash of him in the crowd whispering her goodbye.

Some time later, a cat started following Misae and she took him in. This cat is revealed to be Katsuki granting Misae's wish. Misae only discovers this later in After Story, when she is told by Tomoya after the cat told him the story in a dream. Misae says she can't have a date with a cat, but scoops him into her arms and walks away with him. This releases her light orb, and we can see the cat wondering if he properly fulfilled his job, wanting to stay this way forever.
