If you had went through what Hanako Yugi had experienced throughout her entire life, you'd be tired and would already want to give up on life.
Too bad that wasn't an option for her. Not yet at least.
Stuck with the role she was given a long time ago, Hanako continues to carry it out diligently, shaping the lives of many people and guiding them onto the paths and fates passed onto them long before they were born.
It didn't matter what kind of sacrifices she made in the process, she would still help guide them, hero or villain.
Because as far as she was concerned... she was gone a long time ago.
