However, Michiko kills the monster and calls Ringo's headless a "stupid girl".

### Happy Wonderland

In "Hisayo", Mika Harima tells Michiko the plan is not working and Tandeki is going faster. Michiko says that are working as fast as they could. Mika tells her about how Seiji has been strange, leading Michiko to think that he is possessed. But, there could still be some time to save him. In the season finale, she, Shingen, and Shinra find Seiji on the roof of Sunshine 60 and performs an exorcism on him.

Later, Michiko hears about Saki's death and fears the worst. She tried to get Masaomi out of the psychiatric ward. The girl used her voice to try and lead him out. They almost escaped, but they end up getting caught by Kitano, Aya Otomo, and Etsuko Asato. Michiko tries to talk Masaomi out of becoming a player in the game. She even tried to use her magic to stop them, but Kaori telepathically chokes her. Masaomi has no choice but to play. Michiko screams in her head for him to stop.

Once time is turned back, Masaomi is released from the police station. Michiko is angry when she greets him. She breaks down the truth to him and said that she never wanted this for him. The whole time, Michiko tries to figure out the extent of the damage. Masaomi seems to be acting normal over the next three days. She gets her answer when Masaomi asks who Saki is.
