-- LOVE MANIFESTS THE MOST DISTORTED CURSES.



RIKA ORIMOTO (DECEASED AT THE AGE oF | 1) ° Rika’s mother died suddenly from unknown causes when Rika was five.



* Two days before entering elementary school, Rika and her father got lost while mountain climbing. One week later, Rika was found alone and rescued from a shelter near the summit.



* At the hospital, she met Yuta, who was being treated for pneumonia. They later ended up going to the same elementary school. ¢ Her father was never found, and his death has never



been confirmed.



¢ Aware of how her appearance is perceived, Rika sometimes manipulates adults. ¢ Rika was taken in by her grandmother on her father’s side, who strongly believes that Rika killed both her parents. ] * Rika stole the ring she gave Yuta from her grandmother's dresser. It was her mother’s wedding ring.



¢ When she was human, Rika was very friendly with Yuta’s younger sister. However, after becoming a vengeful curse, she became aggressive, which is why Yuta distanced himself from his family. ° She dislikes everyone besides Yuta—especially girls and older guys. * The thing she dislikes the most in the world is her



grandmother's stewed eggplant. _



* She loves Yuta.
