Mimiko favoured one particular kitchen knife, and often cut Nanako with it. Each time she gave her red hard candy as an excuse for her abuse and to make her promise to be silent about it. However, Marie eventually found out, and Mimiko suffered an asthma attack due to the stress of situation. Marie attacked Mimiko, and took her knife from her. She then took Nanako, and left, leaving Mimiko to die. Mimiko died from her asthma due to Marie"s negligence. Marie didn't do anything to help her, essentially killing her. After her death, Mimiko became a vengeful spirit. Marie took Nanako to the hospital. Mimiko was found dead in their aparment, and taken to the hospital as well. Hospital staff took photo's of her corpse that were deliberately distorted by Mimiko herself. Mimiko takes back her knife, and kills Marie in revenge.

After this, Mimiko continues to kill people, always leaving a red hard candy in their mouth.

Meanwhile, Yumi's body is found, and Motomiya goes to examine her. However, Mimiko attacks him on his way, causing him to crash his car and receive lethal injuries. Motomiya tells the arrived medics that Mimiko came after him and dies. Mimiko walks through the forest, and attracts Nozoe's attention. Nozoe follows her to the mine, where Mimiko appears to her, smiles evilly, and stabs her with her knife. Nozoe falls to the ground, and losts counsciosness. She awakens several hours later, and exits the mine. She heads to Yuting's apartment, calling him on the way, unaware that her call passes through as Mimiko's. Nozoe arrives at his apartment and meets him. However, Mimiko suddenly posseses Nozoe, and attacks, and kills Yuting with her knife. Many years later, Mimiko crosses paths with a bullied high schoolgirl Asuka Matsuda, who tried to hang herself at school due to severe bullying, but was saved and hospitalised in a state of coma. Mimiko allies herself with Asuka's spirit and helps her get revenge on her tormentors. Mimiko attacks and hangs Azusa. Mimiko grabs Mizue's leg, drags her under the bed, and kills her.

Mimiko persuades Asuka to commit suicide together with her by jumping from the school balcony in a fiery pit below. Emily tries to save Asuka and asks Mimiko to kill her instead. Mimiko agrees and gives Emily the candy. She prepares to take it while Asuka begs her not to do it and tries to stop her. Asuka's computer explodes.
