When Ringo learned about how she was driven away from her father, she felt embarrased and felt guilty about Himeno's situation. Ringo separated herself from her home and started living alone, to be independent from her parents, and to able to help Himeno. She tried to help her older sister, but she never could, she eventually avoided her.
