Devil Summoner: Soul Hackers[]
Erika Sako is the older sister of Six, who died at an early age by falling down some stairs. After Six's soul is trapped inside Paradigm X's VR Haunted Mansion, a rescue attempt is made by the protagonist and Nemissa. As they travel through the Haunted Mansion they hear voices of a little brother playing with his older sister.
While they attempt to free Six, Erika hinders their path, teleporting them to another section in the maze three times over, until she reveals that she is Shingo's older sister, and being upset that he forgot about her, she's finally glad that they'll be together forever now. Before this conversation, it's revealed that Six accidentally pushed Erika down some stairs, resulting in her death. Hitomi is dismayed that rescuing Six would deprive Erika of his company, though Nemissa states that she does not believe that Erika is actually the girl's ghost, and elaborates that she is a demon born from Six's festering trauma and guilt. The player and Nemissa later defeat Erika and her minions — Goggie, Lukoje, and Bugs — resulting in Six being freed from the simulation. Whether each minion is summoned in battle or not depends on whether you choose to take a younger Six with you or to leave him alone in the flashbacks, with them appearing if you do.
After the demons are defeated and Six is rescued, he recalls his long-forgotten sister and his role in her death, though at Hitomi's suggestion resolves to reminisce about her fondly as his loving sister rather than brood over her accidental death. As with Tomoko, he does not clearly remember the protagonist and Hitomi's role in his rescue, but does feel the need to thank them later.
