A past event is shown where a woman named Azami is attacked by men believing her to be a monster, but she fights back using her powers in order to protect her daughter, Shion Kozakura. After learning from the remaining survivor about how her husband, Tsukihiko, got hurt trying to defend her, Azami makes the painful decision to leave her family behind in order to protect them from any further harm. As time went by, Shion eventually gave birth to Marry and raised her by herself, making sure she wouldn't leave her home. One day, when Marry steps outside, she is caught by a pair of thieves, and although Shion uses her powers to stop one of the thieves, she is weakened, as a result and they are both killed by the second thief. As both Marry and Shion are dragged into the same realm as Azami, ruled over by a large snake, as a result of dying on August 15, Azami uses the last of her strength to pass on her role to Marry, allowing her to return to the real world. Some time later, Kōsuke hears Marry's internal cries with his own power and comes across her, deciding to become friends with her. Back in the present, Marry comes across Konoha on the street and takes him back to the hideout, deciding to become friends with him and take him to where the others are.
