Sayu no Haha

The trigger for Sayu Ogiwara's running away from home was her mother, Sayu no Haha. Their relationship had originally been cold, and after Yuuko Masaka’s suicide, Sayu no Haha became mentally unstable while dealing with the media. As a result, she shockingly accused Sayu Ogiwara by saying, "Did you kill Yuuko?" After Sayu ran away, Sayu no Haha tried to make excuses by claiming that Sayu was "not leaving her room," but she was misunderstood as "a mother imprisoning her daughter," which further destabilized her emotionally. She is a character who is more concerned with appearances and public image than with her daughter’s well-being.
