Mysteries, Maidens, and Mysterious Disappearances - Vol. 3 Ch. 24 - 24th Mystery: The Little Girl in Red 7

I feel like her going to open the door and embrace the spirit as her friend is going to make all the difference in resolving this one. It'd certainly give a better reason for the 11th hour tragic backstory if that detail of Tomoko opening a door to literally save Shizuku's life comes back in the climax.

I like that the backstory is not the standard "my parents beat me"/"my parents left me" but something that served in a way that will compliment the "opening the door" oddity.
"Tomoko opened the door for me when no one else would, now I would open the door for her when no one else would"

@StaticTransit i kinda disagree.

I already don't really care about her to begin with

most of the readers as well, thats why this chapter is introduced: so we care about her and understand why does she willing to go such length to meet tomoko.

cramming all that into not even an entire chapter also diminishes the impact for me

tbh i think 1 chapter backstory is the best course of action here, because the character was just introduced in this arc. Adding another chapter will just diminish people's hype since this is just right before the climax. Although a deeper exposition would be nice: why is she considered brazen as a kid, why is a shy and timid kid considered as a troublemaker, etc

One moment of kindness can change your life.

Note that in previous chapter, she hear from the others that if no one open the door for Tomoko, her spirit will haunt (and hurt) the world for eternity, thats why maybe this is the only way she think she can help her.
