 * Persona 5 Royal: Minor Character

Details
A long time ago prior to the events of Persona 5, both of Rumi's parents were murdered in a robbery case. This caused her to fall into catatonic depression and Takuto Maruki was grief-ridden by this. When he visited the hospital where she was in, she did not respond to any of his words at all, until Takuto began to mention her family, causing her to break down suddenly.

Out of despair, he called someone to help whatever it is, until a voice implied to be Adam Kadmon reached out to him. Once the voice finishes talking, Rumi was cured of her depression, but had her memories reshuffled into a version where she had bad physical health when born, her parents were murdered when she was young and she lived in a rural area with her grandmother. She also did not recognize Takuto at all and he distanced himself from her.

This became the basis for him to continue improving his cognitive psience research, which would eventually lead him to madness. Rumi statues can be seen at the Twilight Corridor area of Maruki's Palace as background objects.
