Contrary to what people think, Rin never saw anything in the LN either, except the "thing" in the black alley basically turned her into complete nerve wreck due to the creepy noise and her fear, exactly the same as in the anime.
I have a hard time imagining that the failure to find her friend and the knowledge of what fate likely befell her didn't have a significant impact on Rin as a child. She doesn't have to be traumatized, but it was certainly the first wake up call that she ever experienced, second only to the wrecking of her family.

Spoiler for FSN just in case:

Regardless, I'd be interested in hearing how the decision making process for this went.
