Shino is a childhood friend of Sawako Kuronuma, as they went to the same elementary and middle schools.
Not Especially Close Friends
Shino was not especially close with Sawako Kuronuma during their school years.
They did not hang out or talk much outside of class.
The Mistaken Name Incident
One day in elementary school, Shino accidentally called Sawako Kuronuma "Sadako" by mistake.
After this, other students started to call Sawako "Sadako" too, thinking that was her real nickname.
Feeling Guilty and Trying to Help
Because everyone believed this new nickname, Shino felt very guilty.
Until Sawako Kuronuma made some real friends, Shino tried to talk to her so she would not feel alone at school.
