She's the mother of Tadamichi and the grandmother of Rin Sawaki. Because she was bedridden and Rin's mother was always busy, Rin was forced to stay at home most of the time, unable to play with her friends. It's unknown if she passed away due to old age or sickness.

Appearance

She has curly white hair and many wrinkles on her face due to old age, keeping her eyes completely shut. She's seen wearing a brown and white vest while on her bed.

Personality

She was affected by dementia as she asked multiple times if her late son Tadamichi was going to return home. Still, she felt bad that her granddaughter was stuck home to take care of her instead of going out and playing with her friends, reason why she then happily told her to leave as she was a grownup and could stay home alone.

Background

After coming back home, Mai took care of all the house errands and cooked lunch for her grandmother. When her daughter in law arrived, she asked if her son Tadamichi was going to come back, despite him being dead. She told her that he wouldn't come back and later proceeded to give her a bath. Some days later, she asked Rin for some water and also inquired again about Tadamichi returning home but the response was still a no. She thanked her granddaughter for taking care of her but she felt bad as she knew Rin wanted to be playing outside with her friends. Rin lied, saying she didn't have any friends and preferred staying at home reading books, however her grandmother sensed something was wrong.

The day of the audition venue, Rin was contacted by Mai's mother to come and assist her friend at the venue but when she tried to decline as she needed to stay at home to take care of her grandmother, she was the one who instructed her to go, informing her that she's a grown up and she can atleast stay at home alone. With a smile, she told her granddaughter to live without regrets and Rin decided to go the audition.

In a brief scene, Rin is shown pushing her grandmother outside in her wheelchair, both happily enjoying their day out.
