In Rin-ne season 1 episode 16, titled Memories of the Haunted Cedar, we find our protagonist Sakura Mamiya chatting with her friends about their summer vacation plans. While her friends share their excitement, Sakura is worried about the state of her relationship with Rinne Rokudo, a shinigami who has been helping her with her high school life and also resolving ghostly problems.

Sakura cannot shake the feeling that she and Rinne have grown distant over the last few days. She decides to make the first move and invites Rinne to hang out with her. Rinne, on the other hand, is focused on paying his rent and decides to help a lost spirit on his way, but gets lost in the forest at night. A distraught Sakura remembers an old story about a cursed cedar tree in the area, which causes the ghost haunting it to relive their memories forever.

As Rinne makes his way to the haunted cedar, he cannot help but recall his own memories of when he was alive and the events that led up to his becoming a shinigami.

And as he tries to solve the mystery behind the haunting, he discovers a connection between his own past and that of the ghost he has come to help.

Meanwhile, Sakura is worried about Rinne and, along with Tsubasa, Miho, and Rika, sets out to find him. They eventually come across the haunted cedar and see Rinne there, but they soon find themselves in trouble as the ghosts from the tree's curse begin to haunt them as well. While Rinne tries to free the ghost who is stuck in the curse, Sakura and her friends must fend off the ghostly apparitions that come after them.
