## Equipment

* **M1911 Pistol -** Miyo carried this pistol during the Yamainu Assault in the first world of *"When The Brothers Cry"*, and used it to murder each member of the **Hinamizawa Games Club.** In the second world, she attempted to use it again to kill the Games Club, but she missed and dropped the pistol, which Adam then revealed had only been loaded with one shot. The gun was later confiscated by the authorities.

## Abilities
