Ah, I didn't even think to notice the Miyanaga hairstyle. You're right, something like that would be the natural conclusion then.

Another thing that keeps me curious is why both flashbacks were left out of the anime, since both occasions happened in the Achiga anime. Maybe they felt it would be a distraction to Achiga's story (since in the manga, the flashbacks happenned in Saki, not Achiga). Or maybe Ritz isn't exactly sure how Saki/Teru's phantom sister's role will eventually play out, and Ritz didn't want the scenes being animated to give away something the manga doesn't.

It definitely seems like a sad story though (which gets me excited). This character doesn't yet have a page on the wiki, right? I mean, if she really is the reason that Teru won't talk to Saki, then that would make her the driving force behind the ENTIRE series (since the reason Saki is even playing mahjong is to talk to Teru), making her very important.
