A Flashback, In the Azuchi-Momoyama Period, that is before the Edo Period
A girl was sitting on the ground, watching as the other kids were playing. She held this doll in her hands. She was talking to a pale figure right next to her (which no one else could see). The kids stop their game, whispering and pointing.
"You like her too...thank you...I made her myself, mommy won't buy me any toys...thanks...wow so you were stuck by lighting...I don't like lighting." She puts her ear to her dolls' mouth, "She says her name is Mina"
One of the boys came over, snatching the doll from her, "Who are you talking? No one is there, Demon Girl. What is that? What do you see this time!"He throws it to the other boy, who scoffs at the makeshift geisha doll.
"Give her back, that's my Mina! Please! You'll hurt her!" The girl stood up, trying to grab her doll but then the second threw it to the third.
"Does she talk to you too, YOU'RE A FREAK!" The third pushes her down and throws the doll to the first, who rips the doll apart.
"MINA!" She pushes him away, and grabs the doll, and started crying. She was kneel over, holding the doll.
"What a freak!" The three boys laughed, but the first boy stopped when she grabs his hand.
"You hurt her." Her voice sounded weird like two people were talking. She looks up and her eyes were black, all three boys were surrounded by complete darkness, "Now you fools shall pay for making her cry."
The figure that she was taking to but no one else could see, watched interest and astonishment glowed in its eyes as the three boys collapsed, they were being choked by these shadowy hands. She was suddenly slapped by her mother, the shadowy hands disappeared.
"WICKED CHILD! I thought I told you to never be outside," The mother dragged her by the hands, the three boys ran in terror, "WICKED CHILD! JUST WAIT UNTIL I TELL YOUR FATHER!"
The figure stood, watching and seeing the pure hatred in those eyes.
"Don't you dare look at me like that!" Her mother cried out, "You stop this! Do you hear me?!"
The mean look suddenly disappeared and the little girl looked back with wide eyes and a smile.
"Hey Mommy," She looked sadly at her doll and held it up for her mother to see, "Mommy, Mina is broken."
Her mother sighed in relief, "Well that's ok...how about I teach you sewing...you can make your own stuff animal and be able to fix it if those mean boys rip it again." Her Mother rubbed her child's head, seeing her sweet smile made her smile just as well.
Him appeared by the figure, it said to Him,"I believe I have seen what I needed to see."
