Cursed woman
The cursed woman (呪いに侵されの女性) is a minor character of the Three Stories Arc, and the motivation for Yamisaka Ouma's actions during the final part of the arc.

Appearance
She is a brown haired, wheelchair-bound woman. She is extremely skinny, has a fair complexion, and looks like she would collapse if left out in the sun too long. She is two-three years older than Yamisaka Ouma, old enough to no longer be called a girl.

Background
In the past, the woman was put under a Curse under unknown circumstances, so it is unclear if it was done by a Magician with a grudge or by someone related to her. From an Eastern perspective, the curse resulted from Jugondō (呪禁道) voodoo magic using mirrors and swords, while from a Western perspective, it was from a type of sympathetic magic, an imitative curse.

Regardless of the truth and origin of the curse, the fact remained that it was incurable and she could die at any moment. The curse was like a tree, with its roots buried deep in her body, slowly draining her life away. She ended up in a hospital, assigned to Room 1205, but modern medicine couldn't cure her, and, despite clear evidence that something was wrong with her weak body, all the tests even concluded that she was perfectly healthy. Because of this, she had been in the hospital long enough to practically live there, and had resignedly accepted her death.

It was in the hospital's courtyard that she and Yamisaka Ouma met and talked for the first time as Yamisaka was visiting someone else, though the woman had seen him a few times before. She didn't realize he was a magician, in fact she thought he worked for a funeral home because he always wore a suit. The two would continue to occasionally talk to each other in the garden of the hospital, and the woman never asked for his help, but Yamisaka would fall in love with her and go look for a cure, all the while denying to himself that he was doing it for her.

Russian Shopping Center
The Russian Shopping Center (ロシアのショッピングセンター) is the world's largest shopping center, a huge experimental city with a site area of more than 650 dome stadiums, located in Eastern Russia. It functions as a financial and economic thinking experiment site designed to study human psychological effects related to commerce, and also functions as a theme park that attracts customers from all over the world. It is a place with all sorts of stores and products.

Explication: Chapter 1 Part 2

Ch. 2 Part 8: The giant shopping mall built on the plains of Russia was basically a flat facility spreading out horizontally. However, that did not give enough living space for the over 50,000 workers. That space had been developed underground. Setali was returning to her apartment.

Trivia
World's largest mall is the Iran Mall IRL.
