After hitting absolute rock bottom, Sakura is taken in by a retired social worker named Ms. Fuyumi . This character acts as a deus ex machina only in the sense that such people exist in real life—quiet, underfunded helpers. Ms. Fuyumi helps Sakura file for bankruptcy, secure a pro bono lawyer, and apply for rehabilitation programs.
