So I guess Rakko is the girl "disposed of" by Shiage when he saw Mugino dragging around Frenda's corpse.

As a refresher, Shiage was called by Mugino in Volume 15 to dispose of "something".

''But as he felt an oddly raw weight in the black bag and felt the soft texture of a thick synthetic cloth when he grabbed it, the face of someone he had never met appeared in the back of his mind. Hamazura tried to shake it away, then threw the bag into the furnace and both shut and locked the thick metal cover.''

[...]

''It may have been a subordinate just like him and it may have been a major esper. It wasn’t necessarily a kid and he couldn’t rule out the possibility that it was an adult. It was probably an enemy, but Mugino very well could have killed an ally who screwed up. He didn’t know the circumstances surrounding the person’s death and it even could have been someone completely unrelated who happened to get caught up in it all.''

And it was all being burned away to nothing.

Well, it's not like her death was of no use. It was Shiage's first peek into the real darkness of Academy City. Without it, perhaps Shiage won't be able to grasp the concept of life and death as a mere lackey to ITEM and he won't be able to respond hard to seeing Rikou being dragged by Mugino close to death after the Meltdowner killed Frenda.
