As Lucy is recovering from being hit by Nana, she goes through a flashback of her childhood, where she was raised in an orphanage all her life where her peers constantly bullied her. Even the staff called her creepy and did nothing to stop the bullying. Feeling lonely and ignored, she begins to develop her hatred for humans. When her peers discover that she has made friends with a stray dog, (discovered when a girl pretended to be Lucy's friend) they force her to watch as they beat it to death with a vase. In her despair, Lucy activates her vectors and kills her schoolmates, her first murders.
