HINASAKI MIYUKI
[@[]

She got married to Hinasaki Masato while she was a student. She used to act as his assistant, photographing ruins and artifacts that he discovered, but after they got married she became a housewife. She grew to resent her husband for never spending time at home. She is kind, but very high-strung and delicate. When she was young, she also had psychic ability inherited from her mother, but she lost most of it after leaving elementary school. She was sad that her abilities had been inherited by her children, since she had been persecuted for them in the past. She convinced Mafuyu and Miku not to talk to anybody about their ability to see ghosts.

When she developed heart problems (what is WITH all these sickly neurotic Hinasaki women?), she took up photography again as a hobby, and her psychic abilities returned, probably due to using the camera inherited from her mother Mikoto. She started taking strange photographs, and her renewed ability to see ghosts troubled her deeply. She committed suicide (probably by hanging, like her grandmother Yae) soon afterwards, leaving her antique camera to her two children.
