Nightmare Fuel / Who's Left Behind? Kayoko's Diary

• One night, Kayoko suddenly wakes up due to a Potty Emergency, but is unable to wake her mother or father - previously, she confessed through prayer that she fears being left to go to the bathroom by herself at night. As she approaches, Kayoko hears strange noises coming from down the darkened stairs. When she opens the bathroom door, three teardrop-like ghosts come after her, causing her to flee to where her grandmother is sleeping, and then the house starts to flood until she is in danger of drowning, and then she wakes up from the nightmare, screaming and having wet herself.
  • The fact that the nightmare involves the house flooding to the brink of destruction indirectly foreshadows the house (and the entire neighborhood) being destroyed by firebombing five years later.
• Kayoko cracking her head open when she trips over her new kimono and crashes into a screen door. Her bright red, contorted face as she tries her hardest not to burst into tears, just for the sake of trying not to be a crybaby anymore, not to mention the blood seeping from her forehead can be disturbing to say the least.
  • She even has her fists clenched as if ready to lash out at the next person who dares to upset her even further and, by this point in the movie, she's already lashed out at Takejiro for making inappropriate jokes about Typhus when Tadayoshi was in hospital with the virus.
  • She cracks her head open again when she dives down an embankment to escape the P51 Mustang that attacks her in Numazu.
• During Kayoko's evacuation to Numazu, she is attacked by a P51 Mustang after failing to find cover, and survives by diving down an embankment - but when she climbs back up, she is met with the sight of a soldier that had been shot by the American plane, leaving him dead with blood gushing from his corpse. The shock is enough to cause Kayoko to faint. She proceeds to have another nightmare, in which her mother is tending to a minor injury she's suffered, only for her mother and the rest of her family to seemingly disappear before her eyes without a trace, leaving Kayoko screaming out for them.
• Kayoko witnesses the firebombing of Tokyo from a distance, and is later treated to a flashback of what it was like from Kisaburo's point of view as he tells the story of his experience to Kayoko, her aunt Masae and the audience - most of which happened in real life.
