@noomer: That transition from Tokyo Tower into the Abyss was incredible. This new chapter immediately feels mysterious, especially with all those spirits replaying fragments of the past. Those spirits from the hospital corridor also should be connected to your character. Further down the corridor, another spirit waited anxiously outside a room, reliving the moment he learned his wife had given birth to a baby girl. Maybe that's the father of your character who learned his wife had given birth to Mari. Just guessing.
