Kiyoshi kurosawa brings ghost towards his more sentimental and heartfelt side, where grief is allowed to be moved and be placed in the past but also with allowing ourself to process it.
Yuzuke's ghost allows for mizuki to process her grief, not only of his death but from her entire life. But it also does something beautifull in that it connects places to individuals. We are the places we visit and our memories should be hold and remembered by not only the buildings but the people as well.
