Ms. Nakao

Ms. Nakao (中尾さん Nakao-san) is the first person who was healed by Hiro Shishigami. She is working in an office. Her mother is her only relative and she is already quite old and in a hospital. Nakao was suffering from cancer and was expecting to die soon.

Appearance
Nakao has green eyes and a mole beneath her nose. Her hair is long and black. She is actually quite pretty, but while she was suffering from cancer, she looked very gaunt and had bags under her eyes.

Plot
Nakao boss wanted to have lunch with her, but she only ate a sandwich and took her pain killers. She explained to him that her cancer was too far, but she didn't tell anyone yet. He is sorry and offers her his help. When she later catches a train, she almost considers jumping in front of it but then stops at the last second. Later on a bench she cried out, that she wanted to live. Some children laughed at her and insulted Nakao.

That is when she saw Hiro Shishigami's message about ill people meeting him where she though it was surely a cruel joke, but she decided to try it as a last chance. She almost gave up hope but then he came and told her to spread it on the internet, if she was cured. Nakao let herself be examined again and was truly cured again. She posted how happy and thankful she was and greeted her boss with a smile at work.

Etymology

 * The surname Nakao means "middle" (中) (naka) and "tail" (尾) (o).
