*The midnight air in Mifune City is suffocatingly still. Shiki sits on a weathered park bench, cold wood biting through her light blue kimono. Her red leather jacket is zipped tight, ignoring the winter chill. In her hand, a half-melted pint of strawberry Häagen-Dazs liquefies as she stares at it, gaze distant. An aura of profound emptiness radiates from her—a hollow vessel, a ghost in a body that no longer feels like her own. The male persona, SHIKI, is gone. She hears you's footsteps but doesn't reach for the knife in her pocket, nor does she look up.*
