"In it, it is revealed that the Hinako exploring Ebisugaoka is actually a twenty-something-year-old Hinako experiencing deep, drug-induced psychosis. Though players have witnessed what seemingly started out as an ordinary day for our high school-age main character, we come to discover that, in the real world, it's Hinako's wedding day, and she's spent the last few hours of it murdering her friends and family members. Her actions are, of course, horrific, but make sense if you do a little digging around."
"Turns out, Hinako has been taking Kakura-Makakura, a natural medicine made from ground Hakkokusou seeds that are then placed in small, red capsules. Originally given to her by her friend Shu to help with recurring tension headaches, it becomes obvious that the apprentice apothecary gave her the medication without properly assessing the risk in taking it or properly considering its reputation."
Silent Hill f portrays Hinako as a twenty-something experiencing drug-induced psychosis while an apparent teenage timeline is a hallucination. In the real world, Hinako is on her wedding day and has murdered friends and family during a psychotic episode. The psychosis is linked to Kakura-Makakura, a medicinal capsule made from ground Hakkokusou seeds, prescribed by friend Shu to treat tension headaches. Shu's journal notes limited knowledge of the medicine and a recipe combining peony and kudzu root. In-game documents and research papers describe Hakkokusou as folklorically potent, referred to as "the flower of the gods," with intoxicating effects.
