Chisato lives in the anime original as seen in the show's finale episode. A lot of viewers were worried after the revelation in episode 9, wherein it was said that Chisato only has two months left before her battery completely drains.

Although there were hints that Chisato could've died, it was later revealed that she is indeed alive but she decided to hide from her friends knowing that death is imminent.

After she woke up from the hospital, she decided to flee but it was Takina who found her eventually. Takina also informed the blonde protagonist that her new heart came from Yoshi, who purposely left the artificial heart as a gift for her.
