forest - Obtaining a special directory tree like formatting

Question

Here is a code found in this post.

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[edges]{forest}
\begin{document}
\begin{forest}

forked edges,                       % Tree style 
for tree={grow=0, s sep=0pt, 
edge= thick,

anchor=base west,

font=\strut\footnotesize\sffamily},
                                    %
[,phantom                           % Paranormal root  (BOO!)
                                    %

[aaaa                               % Real branch

    [bbb,tier=b, 
        [eeeeeeeeeeee, tier=c 
            [fff, tier=d]]] 
    [ccc 
        [gg, tier=c] 
        [hhh, tier=c]] 
    [ddddddddd 
        [iii, tier=c]]]

                                    %
[One,for tree={color=gray,no edge}  % Ethereal branch 
[Two, tier=b

[Three,  tier=c

[Four, tier=d]]]]

                                    %

]                                   % Closing poltergeist
                                    %
\end{forest}
\end{document}

I would like to adapt the code above to obtain what I have added by hand in red. Is it possible?

Use calign=child, calign child=-1. Child number -1 is the last child.

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[edges]{forest}
\begin{document}
\begin{forest}

forked edges,                       % Tree style 
for tree={grow=0, s sep=0pt, 
edge= thick,

anchor=base west,

font=\strut\footnotesize\sffamily},
                                    %
[,phantom                           % Paranormal root  (BOO!)
                                    %

[aaaa, calign=child, calign child=-1                               % Real branch

    [bbb,tier=b, 
        [eeeeeeeeeeee, tier=c 
            [fff, tier=d]]] 
    [ccc, calign=child, calign child=-1 
        [gg, tier=c] 
        [hhh, tier=c]] 
    [ddddddddd 
        [iii, tier=c]]]

                                    %
[One,for tree={color=gray,no edge}  % Ethereal branch 
[Two, tier=b

[Three,  tier=c

[Four, tier=d]]]]

                                    %

]                                   % Closing poltergeist
                                    %
\end{forest}
\end{document}

You can also place the calign options in the for tree.

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[edges]{forest}
\begin{document}
\begin{forest}

forked edges,                       % Tree style 
for tree={grow=0, s sep=0pt, 
edge= thick,

anchor=base west,

font=\strut\footnotesize\sffamily,
calign=child, calign child=-1},
                                    %
[,phantom                           % Paranormal root  (BOO!)
                                    %

[aaaa                               % Real branch

    [bbb,tier=b, 
        [eeeeeeeeeeee, tier=c 
            [fff, tier=d]]] 
    [ccc 
        [gg, tier=c] 
        [hhh, tier=c]] 
    [ddddddddd 
        [iii, tier=c]]]

                                    %
[One,for tree={color=gray,no edge}  % Ethereal branch 
[Two, tier=b

[Three,  tier=c

[Four, tier=d]]]]

                                    %

]                                   % Closing poltergeist
                                    %
\end{forest}
\end{document}
