Megumi is introduced in a flashback while Miyama Shaei is thinking of his failure to save others. Here, she is depicted as one of the people in his previous school that bears a negative outlook on his ability, calling him as a "bearer of misfortune" and "creepy". A few days later, an image of Megumi was found in one of Shaei's predictions. After learning of her imminent fate, Megumi asks Shaei for his forgiveness and a way to prevent the accident from happening. Despite Shaei's efforts to overturn his prediction, Megumi is caught in an accident where several steel beams fell over her, causing severe injuries. While hospitalized, Megumi bears a grudge against Shaei, suspecting him for deliberately causing the accident as an act of revenge, and tries to cut all ties from him.[1][3]
After making a recovery from the accident, Megumi learns about the truth behind Shaei's efforts and writes a letter asking for his forgiveness. She also accepts Shaei's request to keep Pero as a pet.[2][3]
