contrary to what others think i personally think its just a bit of homage to the Hanako-San urban legend.

the basic gist of this legend is that in the third floor girl's bathrooms at any japanese elementary school, one may knock on the third stall across three times, asking "are you there, Hanako-San?" three times. it is said that after doing this, there'll be a reply from hanako, and if you open the stall door she'll either pull you in and kill you or simply disappear.

my best guess is that the creator did put this in to tie plot together, but wanted to execute it in a way that made reference to the legend.
