CG Gallery: Scene recollection:Link(s): Synopsis:Life had been normal before....
Tohno Shiki had never expected to return to his home. After all, it was his own father who 'gave up' on him, giving him away to another family to be raised. And due to Shiki's ailing health, his father had also disinherited him and named his younger sister the heir to the Tohno family. Shiki was quite alright with that, and had lived his life normally with his adopted family.
As normal as he could be, anyway. Shiki had an accident when he was small... he could not remember what the accident was, but ever since then his health has been failing, and he could see lines on living things. Lines which, when traced, will kill the living thing immediately. He would had gone crazy if he hadn't met a lady who gave him a pair of glasses which returned his sight to normal... but only as long as he wears the glasses.
When his father passed away, his younger sister summoned him to come home. Now a teenager in his highschool, Shiki isn't really thrilled at the thought of coming back to the Tohno mansion. However he felt guilty having never even contacted Akiha -his younger sister- and came back to the mansion. Akiha herself seemed quite pleased to have him back, even if she's bad at expressing her feelings.
One day after school on the way home, Shiki saw a blonde haired lady walking alone. Not knowing why, he followed her... and killed her, slicing her to pieces. The next day, the very same lady found her, and demanded that he took responsibility for killing her.
From then on, Shiki entered a world from which he would never return.
