Line 74:
Following this, Sayo was taken into the [[Fukuin House]] and was given the "blessed name" [[Shannon]].
 
After graduating from the Fukuin House, Sayo served as a servant on [[Rokkenjima]]. Sayo was initially nervous about life on the island, which was completely different from the life in the Fukuin House. As the youngest servant to work for the [[Ushiromiya family]], Sayo was the only one who missed work in order to go to school. Though [[Natsuhi Ushiromiya|Natsuhi]] and [[Krauss Ushiromiya]] always thought there was something odd about this, neither Fukuin House nor Genji would shed any light on the subject. Other servants similarly did not welcome Sayo's special treatment and frequently complained about it. The servants eventually gave Sayo the nickname "Yasu", which Sayo despised. Because of Sayo's age and sloppiness, the other servants grew to dislike Sayo even more. Older servants were annoyed by how often they had to help Sayo with chores because as Sayo had difficulty doing many things independently. However, these problems were viewed by Sayo as tests from God to help one day grow into a wonderful person.
 
Sayo seemed to have a good relationship with the House Director, who played with and taught Sayo about things that cannot be seen with one's eyes, but with the eyes of the heart. Through this, Sayo learned how to recognize beings not of this world at the Fukuin House and often spent free time in isolated rooms dreaming.
Line 86:
As time progressed, Shannon gained respect from the newer servants. Years later, Sayo met [[Battler Ushiromiya]] and fell in love with him. Sayo began to pay more attention to the real world and gave up magic. A few times a year, Sayo and Battler would meet to discuss mystery novels they had recently read. Both of them strongly believed that only the heart can move people to commit a murder. At some point these discussions became an excuse for the two to meeting alone. At the family conference of 1980, Battler made a careless promise that Sayo took seriously. This promise made Sayo consider not just quitting work as a servant on Rokkenjima, but also confessing to Battler and sharing a life with him. Unfortunately, Battler left the Ushiromiya family shortly after the meeting and did not return to Rokkenjima until 1986. Notably, Battler sent a number of letters to Rokkenjima for the 1983 family conference but did not include a letter for Sayo. The loss of first love caused Sayo a great deal of strife and played a large role in Sayo's damaged mental state.
 
In April 1984, the portrait of the Golden Witch was displayed in the [[Ushiromiya Main Building]] alongside a [[the witch's epitaph|mysterious epitaph]]. The epitaph contained an encoded message that only [[Genji Ronoue]] could understand: it implied that Kinzo already realized his child who fell from the cliff was still alive. Genji relays some of this information to the other servants, which leads Sayo to figure out the truth of the epitaph as well as the location of [[Kinzo's gold]]. Even though Sayo was the rightful successor to the family, Sayo maintained that [[Krauss Ushiromiya]] should become the successor and nothing had to change. Despite this, Sayo kept the location of Kinzo's gold a secret.
