Ten years before the story, Hanako's house inexplicably caught fire while her family slept (this was hinted to have occurred on the night of her birthday), killing her parents and badly scarring Hanako herself. Hanako told Hisao that the only reason she survived was that her mother shielded her from the fire before succumbing to the heat. After spending a length of time in the hospital recovering, Hanako lived at an orphanage where she was constantly bullied, even by those who used to be her closest friends, because of her appearance. This made her become very aware of her scarring, and this self-consciousness developed into paralyzing social anxiety, prompting her self-isolation. She secluded herself in the orphanage's library until she was offered the opportunity to attend [[Yamaku Academy]]. | Ten years before the story, Hanako's house inexplicably caught fire while her family slept (this was hinted to have occurred on the night of her birthday), killing her parents and badly scarring Hanako herself.

*Rin points out that she saw Hanako go to the bathroom a few times in a row. This might be a reference to a Japanese urban legend of a young WWII-era girl named [[wikipedia:Hanako-san|Hanako-san]], who haunts school bathrooms. | *Rin points out that she saw Hanako go to the bathroom a few times in a row.
