Chronology
Toaru Kagaku no Railgun
Dream Ranker Arc
Megumi is introduced in a flashback while Miyama Shaei is thinking of his failure to save others. Here, she is depicted as one of the people in his previous school that bears a negative outlook on his ability, calling him as a "bearer of misfortune" and "creepy". A few days later, an image of Megumi was found in one of Shaei's predictions. After learning of her imminent fate, Megumi asks for his forgiveness and a way to prevent the accident from happening. Despite Shaei's efforts, Megumi is caught in an accident where several steel beams fell over her, causing severe injuries. Megumi eventually bears a grudge against Shaei, suspecting him for deliberately causing the accident as an act of revenge, and tries to cut all ties from him.[1]
After making a recovery from the accident, Megumi learns about the truth behind Shaei's efforts and writes a letter asking for his forgiveness. She also accepts Shaei's request to keep Pero as a pet.[2]
