If that's the case, it is possible that the Yorito that we know now is not the Yorito in the original flashback, but rather someone that looks like him that Aono has found and warped reality around (this may possibly be the great expenditure of energy she refers to). I think she dripped blood on the frog to animate it. It appeared to jump of its own accord, and it was on the floor when Matsuri met Aono in the railcar. It may have lead Matsuri to Aono.
