Background

Yuriko Saeki was the aunt of Miki Takamura and the younger sister of Miki's mother, Minako Takamura. She had taken her own life three years prior to the plot. In the Good Ending, it is revealed that Yuriko is the monster that has been tormenting Miki throughout the game, but whether the monster was truly Yuriko's ghost returned to haunt the living, or merely a figment of her niece's disturbed imagination remains unconfirmed.

As a monster, Yuriko uses her arms for locomotion, and can move at surprising speeds. Her face has no skin, exposing red, swollen flesh. However, she doesn't actually cope with that, as she shows no other than animalistic behavior as a monster. It is currently not known how exactly she lost her abdomen. She will also vocalize loud, ear-piercing roars and growls.

When she was young, Yuriko's parents died, leaving her in the care of her older sister. However, their relationship became strained (likely due to her sister's mental health problems) and, as a result, Yuriko was eventually removed from her sister's care and placed in an orphanage, and later moved in with a foster family. She remained in contact with her sister, but it is assumed she remained with her foster family until she grew up and moved out.

When Yuriko was an adult, she married a wealthy man and moved to his large home, where she became acquainted with Shinji Miura. Yuriko was happy in her marriage, though she apparently suffered from fertility problems and began seeing a gynecologist for treatment. She was very excited when the treatment worked and she fell pregnant. However, she seemed saddened by her strained relationship with her sister. Sadly, Yuriko's baby - a boy - was stillborn. Yuriko was devastated by the loss of her child and even more so by the lack of comfort and support from her husband, sister and niece (although this was technically not Miki's fault, as she was forbidden to visit her aunt by her mother).

Yuriko seemed to blame herself for her child's death and started to believe that everyone thought she had deliberately "killed" her son. Yuriko's husband eventually divorced her and moved away, leaving Yuriko alone in the house they once shared. Yuriko became severely depressed and paranoid; she began hearing voices and believing that everyone hated her. Eventually, she couldn't take it anymore and decided to end her life. She attempted to kill herself by jumping from a second storey window, but only succeeded in breaking her leg and was taken to hospital. The day she was released from hospital, Yuriko attempted suicide again, hanging herself in one of the spare bedrooms of her home. This time, she was successful. Before she committed suicide, however, she left her home to her niece Miki, showing that she still loved and cared for her, despite (incorrectly) believing that Miki no longer cared for her. Yuriko died three years prior to the events of the game.
