● The Right Way to Help Someone The first customer who enters the laundromat in the dark early morning is Mira. Mira complains that her bandages have come undone and asks the grandfather to fix them. Despite his rough demeanor, the grandfather carefully and kindly attaches Velcro to the ends of Mira's bandages.

This shows that consideration is about the effort and thought for others rather than just convenience for oneself. Later, various ghosts visit the laundromat, each with different clothes and stories. A water ghost in wet clothes, a vampire who must have his feathers in order to maintain his dignity, and a werewolf whose clothes tear every full moon—all these garments reflect the personalities and situations of the ghosts. The grandfather grumbles and complains while fixing the ghosts' clothes, but he puts in his best effort as they wish. Through the grandfather's actions, readers come to understand that when helping someone, it is important to empathize with their feelings and assist them accordingly. ● Those Who Need Help but Are Hard to See is a sequel to .

Amidst his busy schedule, he takes time to make clothes for his grandchild. "I just need to attach the arms now," he says. This sentence carries a sense of anticipation that completion is near, but also a feeling of urgency as the grandfather's time is limited. One early morning, the laundromat, which should be lit, is dark and closed. The ghosts linger outside the shop, only to realize that the grandfather is no longer there. For young readers, the unfamiliar and frightening concept of death has come to the grandfather. However, the story does not directly explain the grandfather's death or emphasize sadness.
