Demons

   Before Mai moved to the city, she used to stay with her mother who was hospitalised. Mai love her mother very much. In a gloomy Sunday evening, her mother was about to leave to a faraway place that can only be travelled by death. Mai's mother had pass away. Mai started to cry and prayed for her mother to be alive while holding her's mother hand tightly.

   Miraculously, her mother was brought back to life on the next day. The doctor and nurses were shocked. The explanation of this stems from a magical power that Mai has within herself. When she cries, her tears carry incredible healing powers which even have the power to bring things back from the dead. 

   The media pick up on this, but Mai starts to get bullied and was called a freak. Eventually, Mai and her mother move to Kanon's city. 

   In Kanon's city, Mai met Yuichi during summer break and the two hung out together a lot for the rest of the summer, especially in a nearby barley field. When the summer break is coming to a close and Yuichi has to go back to his parent's home as he is here staying in his auntie's house for the summer break. Mai becomes very distraught due to losing a very close friend only just after meeting with him. Mai makes up the story that demons have started attacking the field of barley and that she needs Yuichi help to fight them off. Yuichi tells her that he is sorry but he has no choice but to go back to his home. Mai tells him that she will wait for his return some day.

   Seven years had passed, Yuichi had come back to Kanon's city to attend high school. He attended the same high school as Mai but the both of them did not know nor recognise each other. 

   Yuichi caught Mai one day swinging her sword in school at one breezy and cold night. Yuichi asked Mai what was she doing and Mai replied, "killing demons." And that was when Yuichi assist Mai on her mission.

   After a few months, Yuichi believes he and Mai managed to destroy them all, but Yuichi is later confronted by another demon. He ultimately sees that it is not a demon, but rather a part of Mai's own power that shows him what happened before and during the time he met with Mai. The story of demons attacking is true but in a misinterpreted way.

   Due to Mai's incredible power to heal things, an adverse effect that she created from this power were the "demons". The reason that she was getting hurt after destroying them is because she was killing off parts of her own self. After Yuichi tries to tell her that it is all over now, Mai blames herself for endangering her own friends, and thus stabs herself with the sword and is about to die. Just then, a fragment of Mai's own power appears before Yuichi in the form of a young version of Mai. Yuichi reassures her that he will not leave Mai again. Mai's own power saves her and closes the wound she had just inflicted which saves Mai's life. Mai's power believes that now she will be able to accept this power that she has. Later on, she was taken to the hospital and she has to stay out of school until the spring.
