Watching the events unfold in the background, the player then learns that the bullied girl lied to Mr. This directly contradicts a statement the teacher had made to Aki before, in which he had said he didn't have time to listen to Misao and had ignored her. Sohta comforting her and asking her what was wrong. When we next see Misao, she's seen sitting at Mr. Sohta and he comes to her side as the flashback turns black. Unable to stay calm, Misao breaks down in front of Mr.
Sohta, who had probably heard her crying, and chastises her for being out so late. She hears a voice and it is revealed to be Mr. The next flashback shows Misao sobbing in the bathroom stall, most likely having been left there after the boy had raped her, and night had already fallen in the school. Then, she encourages a boy to "give her lots of love", locking Misao in the bathroom stall to be raped by him. Determined to make Misao regret her words, Yoshino blackmails her into silence for all the bullying that she's endured up till now. This caused Yoshino to become even more violent, finally taking part in actually hitting the poor girl. She doesn't fight back, but she does remark that Tohma will never make Yoshino his girlfriend if she continued to bully Misao. In an abrupt change of pace, the next scene depicts Misao being bullied in a bathroom by Yoshino and two other girls. Most likely feeling betrayed, Misao runs off yet again, but this time a sympathetic Kudoh is seen watching her leave. It's a little vague if Tohma was fooling around with Saotome or if he was actually just confronting her, but from the outside of the classroom, it sounded more like the former. Unfortunately, Misao instead overhears Tohma talking to Saotome, saying that she was the only one who he had shown the same text to and pressing her for the truth. She also correctly guesses that Yoshino herself liked Tohma, but she defends her position as Tohma's girlfriend solidly before she's about to head back into the classroom. In the following flashback, Misao slowly walks back to her classroom, theorizing that it was Yoshino who had took a peek at Tohma's phone then published the text. The text itself was filled with Misao's private feelings towards Tohma, including the poem she'd written, and she runs away in dismay. In the background, we see a character sprite of a long, blonde-haired girl that may or may not be Saotome, turning away from the bulletin board when Misao runs up to it before walking away. Misao then shows what happened afterwards, in which the text is then printed out and tacked onto a bulletin board for everyone to see. The scene cuts off as she writes her reply. She then receives an embarrassed text from Tohma, telling her that he liked her and asked if she liked him back. The next flashback showed Misao wondering why Yoshino would blurt out her hidden crush, but she brushes it off in a kind manner and decides to thank the pink-haired girl instead. Yoshino stood by and incredulously commented on the affair until Tohma told her to butt out. Shocked and embarrassed, she withstood the teasing until Tohma came up to her and responded that he had a crush on her as well, reciprocating her feelings in a surprising turn of events. First, she shows the event where Yoshino told everyone in the class that Misao had a crush on Tohma.
When she enacts the curse, the player is the only one who can still hear her voice, continually pressing the character to find her.Īt the end of the game, Misao reveals to the player what exactly happened to her before her disappearance in a series of flashbacks. Misao originally contacts the player through their dreams and minds, asking them to "help" and "find her". When Tohma jokingly and mockingly asks Misao to 'spare' him from her wrath, Misao unleashes a true curse and sends the school, and everyone in it, spiraling into an otherworldly realm filled with terrifying monsters and ghosts.
After, several strange paranormal events began and it's discussed amongst the others that these may have been Misao's doing. In addition to that, a conversation overheard by the player from other classmates ( Tohma, Yoshino, Saotome and Kudoh) reveals that she may have had a crush on Tohma that she was bullied by Yoshino before her disappearance.
Misao is a shy and obedient girl who is noted as being friendless and lonely throughout the game.Īt the beginning, the only known information regarding Misao is that she had mysteriously vanished three months before the game with many of her classmates believing that Misao was already dead. Misao has upper-back length purple hair that is tied back in a ponytail with square bangs hanging over her eyebrows and yellow eyes.
In the Misao novelization, her full name is revealed to be Misao Furukawa (古川 みさお Furukawa Misao). She is a teenage girl who went "missing" three months before the game began. Misao (English: Japanese: ) is the tragic heroine and titular character of the game.
