So we've got a goal now. Good. Her love for Okiku was clear before but it's nice that she's realized it so soon. I'm still interested in the role the friend will have. I feel like she'll be more of an antagonist than maybe some might think based on her few scenes so far. There was that smiling ghost and Okiku is too sympathetic to just cast aside for a childhood crush. Plus, Ryou has recognized her mistakes with her friend and doesn't want to repeat them with Okiku. Unless the situation changes drastically, I don't see how you extricate Okiku from Ryou in a pleasant manner, especially not for a past relationship. So what will the friend's role be (besides potentially a rival)?

Page 26 panel 2 not as obvious as the previous chapters but you can see the 3rd great ghost in the window staring at them. It is great she comforted her but she so close to saying those magic words. Very wholesome & glad the author gave that little detail about the umbrella since even I questioned where it came from. Thanks for the chapter.

my speculation: when okiku will find peace and pass on, the friend (who look very close to her also) will take her place as the "lost love"

I thought so to but that seems so obvious that I'm wondering (and hoping) we go a different route. It's been written so differently so far that I can't imagine it will do the sort of typical "pass on and be replaced thing." These ghost romance stories nearly always end in that kind of way, so you can often see the ending the moment the story starts. I want it to do something unique and the friend has been mentioned so much that it feels like they're deliberately playing up the expectations. I'm thinking it's a red herring. But we'll see.

I honesty think that if Ryou meets her childhood friend, it could end up summoning the 3rd demon. I think this because on chapter 5 page 30 it shows a demon like shadow on the left side wall where the childhood friend is sitting. I think the 3rd demon is attached to her somehow.

The missing piece might be her friend if anything, they wouldn't mention her / show her so much if she was not relevant.

i really HATE this looming "we have to part ways maybe" trope in yuri. Just stay together, even if she has no regrets anymore or something. If this ends with Okiku vanishing in the end i will have to **** another author.

Was the rain necessary?
We're going meta here... Weather in filmography is often used to depict and emphasize the characters' mood.

Rain = sad, depression, loss, as though heaven itself is crying on their behalf

So when it turns sunny after the melodrama (bonus points when there's a rainbow due to light refraction), it symbolizes that they have turned cheerful, happy, blessed, and moved past from their negative sentiments.

tl:dr; yes, the rain is necessary.
