| | As for Kodai, the circumstances behind his transformation into Sumio Mondo remain unclear. At some point after his arrest in 1999, he escaped jail through unknown means, presumably in the same event that caused him to become Mondo. He was entrusted Catherine by an unknown person, and took on work as a searcher. He completed every job given to him, until completing a request from "the largest local general contractor", who afterwards gave him the mission from Lospass. | | As for Kodai, the circumstances behind his transformation into Sumio Mondo remain unclear.

| | Sumio arrives on [[Lospass Island]] at some point in latter 2001, together with Giggs and Catherine. After meeting [[Tetsugoro Kusabi|Peter Bockwinkle]] who drives him to the Hotel [[Flower, Sun, and Rain (hotel)|Flower, Sun, and Rain]], he meets with his client, Edo Macalister. Edo explains that a terrorist is attempting to plant a bomb on the plane at the [[Lospass Airport]], and that Sumio's mission is to locate the bomb. He also gives him a copy of [[The Lospass]] guidebook. Sumio sleeps in his room (402) that night, but the next day gets trapped within the [[Sealed Space]]. By the time he's solved the puzzles to escape, the plane carrying the bomb explodes overhead. | | Sumio arrives on [[Lospass Island]] at some point in latter 2001, together with Giggs and Catherine.

| | Sumio continues to trek across the island more loop by loop in hopes of reaching the airport, meeting several eccentric characters and taking a small trip to Eleki Island. All this changes when one day he awakens in the middle of the night. He finally notices that hotel maid [[Sue Sding]] has been sleeping under his bed, and she asks him to find something for her, but is unable to specify what. Sumio crosses the island at night and views the moon from the [[Business Tower]] lighthouse. Returning to his room with no answers, he speaks with Sue again, who asks Sumio to reveal the secret of the island, which is linked to her own secret. She also tells him that time on the island has stopped, berating him for believing it to be a dream. After solving a puzzle, he receives a call from Sue asking him to head to the roof of the hotel. When he arrives up there, though, she disappears, and Sumio is shot by [[Sundance Shot]], falling off the roof and dying. | | Sumio continues to trek across the island more loop by loop in hopes of reaching the airport, meeting several eccentric characters and taking a small trip to Eleki Island.
