Trivia

 * In the novel, Mei visits Kouichi’s house before the school trip, most likely to confirm who the “Dead One” is and perhaps to get a glimpse of Reiko. It is at his house that they look at his mother’s old pictures, including the “ghost photo” with Misaki Yomiyama
 * Also, Mochizuki visits Kouichi’s house to tell him to put up with what ever may happen. Later, Kouichi realizes that Mochizuki probably came to see if Ms. Mikami was OK, due to his crush on her.
