Story[]
As a child, Michiko had a troubled home life that covered many domestic issues[1][7] and a childhood friend named Ritsu Itami; however, they soon became estranged when Michiko's misfortune started affecting Ritsu too.[3] Eventually, her family and home broke up. Because she had nowhere else to go, she started wandering the streets, watching the television and news outside of electronic stores for entertainment.
In Rainy Girl, Michiko wanders the roads alone in the rain without an umbrella while images of her past home life and her interactions with older men appear on the screen. Michiko was sexually abused to have a place to stay in return, with the places she stayed at often having stained ceilings and cigarettes and alcohol. Though Michiko suffers through this, she doesn't mind it, as it was something she willingly did to survive. Later she is kicked out, possibly because they were not interested in her anymore, and frantically bangs on the door asking where she could go to be saved. With nowhere else to go, she falls in despair, Carl ominously standing behind behind her. He hugs her from behind, only to disappear, and for her to start choking. At the end, she walks down an alleyway at 2 am, similar to one in Laughing clown dances with the devil. and finds Carl at the end of it. Carl beckons her to come over with ghosts from the Midnight Ball behind him. Michiko reaches out, only to fall on the floor, possibly dying.
