When I was small, this little metal object was my treasure. It has a weird shape, it’s little, and only have one function. The silver metal was cold and I remember it hurt when I grabbed it firmly. Click, I turn it half-way in the beginning of the day. Click, I turn it half-way at the end of the day. Being small, I felt really prideful when I heard that sound. But, there is myself who wants to cry every time I hear that sound. Click, click. Once in the beginning. Once at the end. A day created a perfect circle and I repeated it every day. It keeps turning and turning without knowing where to stop. Half of happiness and half of sadness. The day that doesn’t change was like a store sign of some barber shop. But, the ongoing days of spiral ended abruptly. The silver metal was just cold—–There’s no happiness. When I grab it firmly, I bred——-There’s no sadness. Of course, a metal is just a metal. There aren’t any dreamful thoughts there. When I found out that reality when I was eight, the metal wasn’t a bright object as before. I realized at that time… To become an adult is to exchange your dreams with knowledge. Thinking foolishly that I matured early, I accepted that truth pride-fully
A boy who just killed someone.

Officer Akimi Daisuke heard a weird story. There was a robber who sneaked into an apartment, but he ran down to a police station asking for help. According to him, the family in the room that he entered were all murdered. But when the police officers got there, that family was in the middle of dinner. They found out the man was robbing the apartment and he was caught. But this was just a weird incident and Officer Akimi quickly forgot about it.
Enjou Tomoe was sitting quietly on a street at night. His old classmates came up to him and started picking on him. They made fun of him for quitting high school and if he’s going to give them some allowance. Without saying anything, Tomoe pushed an empty can into one of the guy’s mouth and socked him. Tomoe calmly looked at the guy who passed out and started running. The other guys were stunned, but realizing what just happened, they ran after Tomoe yelling, “you’re dead!!” Tomoe chuckled hearing that. He just came here from killing someone. They don’t know what it means to kill someone. Tomoe is soon cornered at a back alley. He knocks out two guys in a gruesome way. He didn’t care if he kills them or not. But the remaining three guys started beating up on him. That was a naive way of beating that is far from trying to kill someone. Tomoe, in his losing consciousness, was wondering if it’s a bigger sin to kill someone intentionally or to kill someone by accident. That moment a girl in a kimono came to the back alley. The three guys in their excited mind thought of raping the girl, but instead they got knocked out by her. The girl was about to leave without saying anything, but Tomoe tells her to wait. The girl replies if he wants her to call the police or the hospital. But Tomoe said no to a police because he killed someone. The girl didn’t believe him but was like if you says so, then you must be. That was an unexpected reply and Tomoe tells her, aren’t you scared? …It’ll be the same thing killing one or two person. The girl says killing one person is different from killing two. Tomoe is irritated and tells her that he really killed someone. The girl said, I am a killer too, and she turned around. He tells her to wait again, and asks her to help him. Take him to a safe place. The girl said, oh then do you want o use my house? It was strange, but Tomoe followed her. He realized that he was attracted to her.
Tomoe is watching a dream. He is in his bed. His mother started arguing with his father in the living room. It became silent all of a sudden and the door opened. His mom was standing there with a bloody knife in her hand. She started stabbing him and killed herself after that…
Tomoe wakes up in the girl’s room. The two of them came home last night, and the girl went to sleep without saying anything. He was irritated that the girl didn’t even consider him being there and thought of raping her. But he got scared of making a commotion and gave up and slept. When he woke up, she wasn’t there anymore. He went out for a walk outside thinking that the police might be looking for yesterday’s murderer. But there weren’t any and he sits down at a bench on a street. He looks at the people passing by and thinks how many of them are living their life truthfully. At least he thinks he wasn’t. Till he entered high school, Tomoe was track sprinter that had high expectations. He was in fact very fast, and enjoyed running more than anything. But his family wasn’t wealthy. His dad lost his job and always got drunk. His mom broke off from her family to marry his father, and she was an inexperienced person who could do nothing. He couldn’t rely on his parents for high school tuition and he worked for it by himself. But soon, that came to an end when his dad ran over a person without a driver’s license. Since then, his school stopped supporting him. Tome had no feelings for such parent, but the public looked down at him just for being his child When he thought about how foolish it was to live a normal life, he quit school and worked all day. He lost something he liked to do, just because of stupid excuses, such as there weren’t any people who’ll support him and he had no time. That’s why he’s a person who’s not living his life truthfully, a fake. When he came back to the girl’s apartment, he noticed the door was unlocked when she’s not home. He goes in the room fearfully. The girl came home, turning on the light saying what are you doing in the dark, and tosses him an ice cream that she just bought. Tomoe asks her why didn’t she lock the door. She answers that’s because she lost the key. Tomoe is angry and says a home without lock isn’t a home. He said he’ll get a new door knob.
The girl doesn’t care if Tomoe is a guy and lets him stay at her room as long as he wants. She said a person called Mikiya isn’t coming anytime soon either. Tomoe finally found out her name was Ryogi Shiki. One day she asked him if he had a girl friend. Tomoe said he used to, but he never liked her. The girl was the one who dumped him saying, you never looked at my feelings. Shiki laughs saying, how can you look at a person’s feeling when humans can only look at the outside. Having silly conversations like that, two weeks passes by. One night Shiki comes home frustrated. She was looking for someone to kill but she couldn’t find any. Tomoe asks her if she has a friend. She said she does. He was surprised, but he tells her to take out your feelings on that friend without keeping it inside. But she said he’s away right now. Tomoe tells her to call that friend back and cause troubles for him; Saying that’s what friends are for, he goes to sleep. He was hurt with his own words. Why wouldn’t she consider him as that kind of friend.
October was ending and nearly a month has passed since Tomoe left his family and work. But everyone in society seemed to go on with their life without any news of his murder. He finds that there is someone who is following Shiki around. A blond man in a red coat. Tomoe tells that to Shiki, but she didn’t care. Tomoe is angry that she might be in danger, but Shiki asks him why he’s so concerned about her. Tomoe confesses that he likes her and he’s worried about her. But Shiki starts laughing and makes sure he was hypnotize by the man in the red coat. Tomoe says he’s serious, and Shiki looks at him coldly saying, then will you let me kill you? Tomoe says he’ll die for her, he already killed his parents, he isn’t afraid of anything. Shiki asks him why did you kill them. Tomoe answers that he was afraid, he always saw this dream that her mother killed his father and him. Shiki calls him an idiot. Tomoe believes that he needed to kill them, and his feeling towards Shiki was true. But he hated himself, even that feeling was tainted because he was a murderer. Shiki loses her interest in him and leaves the room. Tomoe decides to leave the apartment that he spent a month in.
Mikiya returned to Tohko’s office from his driving school. It was a school where they had the students enter a dorm and made them study intensively. Tohko had a fever and Mikiya is preparing her food. Mikiya sees a picture of Tohko when she was in the Mage’s academy in London. There’s two men standing next to her: A Japanese man in black and a blond man wearing a red coat. She started talking about her past in her fevered mind: All sorcerers are trying to reach the root of things. She tried to reach it by researching the body of humans, while the other guy tried to reach it by researching the soul. Primates today are very complicated but in the beginning it was very simple. She said the DNA of human beings are made from 4 simple codes, but by repeating it an uncalculateable number of times, the spiral becomes uncalculateable and creates a paradox She given up in trying to decode this and decided to create a body herself. But the only thing she can do is to create herself perfectly. The other guy, on the hand is still pursuing the root.
The next day, Mikiya is doing his usual job such as calling different companies to get the best prices on construction material. His sister Azaka is there and copying some kind of notes down. Azaka has been studying sorcery under Tohko. When Mikiya says to her that how can he explain to their father that she is studying to become a magician, Azaka starts lecturing to him how magicians and sorcerers are two different things and what sorcery is. While they are there, Azaka also points out how Mikiya shouldn’t be with a woman who talks like a man. Mikiya says that he still likes her, and Azaka leaves pissed off. When he was about to get off from work, Tohko gives Mikiya a side task. She heard an interesting story at an apartment from an police officer she knew. There was a woman who was heavily wounded at night and she cried out for help at this apartment. Sadly, no one came to help and she died. When the police questioned the residents of this apartment., they all said they never heard her cry. But the weird thing is that the residents in the apartment next to it heard her cry. There was a previous case of a weird story at this apartment, and she asks him to research it on his free time.
Next morning, Mikiya receives an long object from Shiki’s house servant, Akitaka. He came to deliver it to Shiki but she wasn’t home that night. It was a katana from 500 years ago. Shiki was happy to see it but Tohko said don’t take out something dangerous like that here. Mikiya has actually completed the research over the night. Not only did he get a print out of the apartment architecture, he got all the names and background information of the family living there. The apartment was 10 story high, circular, divided up into the east and the west section.
The first two floors are lobbies and there are 10 rooms in each of the floor above that, but only about half of them have residents in them. Tohko had to stop him when he started announcing each of the family names, but Shiki heard a familiar name and heads out of the office. Tohko tells her she can use the 200cc motorcycle, but don’t touch the Harry Davidson with the side car.
Tohko and Mikiya visits this apartment together. Mikiya feels sick when he enters the building but Tohko tells him it’s just his imagination. Mikiya visits the family that was in question on 5th floor while Tohko looks around the floors above. Mikiya concludes that her story was all made up; The Enjou family were all alive and acting normally. When Mikiya meets up with Tohko, she points out that you can easily mistake the floor you are in, with this similar floor design. She stops by the lobby and does something saying it’s just in case.
When Enjou Tomoe noticed, he was back in Shiki’s apartment. Shiki returns and says, what perfect timing. Tomoe is going crazy saying he saw his mother alive walking down the street. Shiki replies saying, let’s go see if that’s true. She finished assembling the katana, but she just took two knives with her. They get on the Harry Davidson with the side car and drive to his apartment. When he gets to the front of his room, she stops him from knocking on the door, saying that it’s better not to turn on the switch. When they get in, Tomoe’s father and mother were in the living room just like how they usually were. —–One thing that was different, was that they didn’t notice that Tomoe and Shiki were there. Tomoe doesn’t understand what’s going on. Shiki says that because we didn’t turn on the switch. they don’t do anything out of the routine. Soon, another Tomoe comes home. That Tomoe ignores them as if they were ghosts and goes to sleep. The mother gets in a fight with the father, kills him, kills Tomoe, and kills herself. She lwas crying and looked very sad. Tomoe couldn’t believe what’s going on but Shiki tells him to get up, we don’t need to stay here anymore. Tomoe screams that people are dead, but notices that there were no blood anywhere. Shiki takes him to the other side of the apartment, to the room that is on the opposite end from Tomoe’s room. He finds the real dead bodies of his parents, about half a year old. That was such a meaningless and worthless dead boy, but Tomoe couldn’t take his eyes off of them. Shiki and Tomoe are soon attacked by dead bodies of the residents manipulated like a doll. When they get out in the hall way, a man is standing in front of them. He is Araya Souren. He is the owner of this apartment, the one who made Fujyou Kirie and Asagami Fujino collide with Shiki, and the man she met two years ago. Shiki tries to kill him, but the three layers of bounded barriers stops her. Casting spells of Buddhistic terms, he attacks her from a distant. Shiki fights back using her ability and kills the bounded barrier. She tackles him, pierces through his chest with her knife, and stabs his throat. However, he was still alive and knocks Shiki out by an heavy punch to her stomach. He slams her into the wall, and she got sucked into the wall as if the wall was water. The man stopped moving after that.
Mikiya was wondering where Shiki went and visits Tohko. They get an unwanted guest there. A blond young man in a red coat, Cornelius Arba. He said he has captured Shiki and will be waiting for Tohko to come. After he leaves, Mikiya asks Tohko what is going on. She explains that the apartment was an experimental site of a sorcerer. In order to hide the existence of the abnormal place from society, it was made to look like a normal place from the outside. And they took Shiki because she has something to do with the experiment. Of the two suit case that she has, Tohko takes the orange smaller suitcase and heads for the apartment to save Shiki.
End of volume 1 and beginning of volume 2.
When Tohko gets to the apartment, Arba was waiting for her at the lobby. Arba says he was waiting for the day to kill her and they start fighting. Arba used some slime like creatures that shaped into human and beast form to attack her. When Tohko opened up her suit case, something black came out and started flying around her. When the whirl wind died down, the slimes were all gone and something that look like a giant black cat, a little taller than Tohko, was standing in front of her. The black cat started running towards Arba. He created a pillar of blue flame but that didn’t hurt the cat at all. He created pillar of flames one after an another but the cat kept on flying towards him. When the cat got to Arba, it opened its gigantic mouth. The previous slimes were still stuck inside its mouth. In his fear, Arba realized that this cat was a being that consists of just a mouth. It chomped on him before he could cast another spell. A buddhistic spell froze the cat that was just about to crush Arba’s body. It’s been a while, Aozaki, said Araya Souren. He pulls off Arba who lost his consciousness and threw him down. He started explaining that this building was made to research people’s death. He found that there were 64 different kind of death to people and he collected those families who died in those respectable ways to this apartment. By having them die every day, he was hoping to simplify the pattern of people’s death and eventually arrive at the death which will be able to reach the root of all things. Tohko said that you’ll never win against the suppressing power, the ultimate will to survive of mankind. Souren agrees, that power has acted three times already no matter how hard he tried to hide what he was doing from society: The fact that Tohko was living in this city, the robber who came to this apartment, and the woman who died of a wound. So he came up with another plan. Rather than trying to reach the root of things himself, he will use a body that has already reached it. That’s why he kidnapped Shiki and he’s now thinking of transferring his brain into her body. Araya asks Tohko if she want to cooperate with him. She answers no. She already quit being a “sorceress” The more she studied, the more distant herr goal seemed. Her pursue was meaningless and now she just want to protect who she can protect. Araya doesn’t believe so, the more he studies the higher he is able to become. There were no need to talk anymore, but Tohko asks him one last question. “Araya, what do you seek for?” “True Knowledge” “Araya, where do you seek it” “Only within myself” Tohko waited for a chance to attack Araya. They both only knew how to fight close range. Tohko’s rune sorcery needed to be directly inscribed into her opponent to do any damage while Ayara who only researched people’s death only had physical combat skills. But making Araya approach her was dangerous because he has the three layers of bounded barriers. Even then, Tohko still waited because she had a plan. But contrary to her belief, Araya put out his hand and crushed the air space she was in from a distant. Tohko broke her ribcage. If he did it again, she will die for sure. She couldn’t afford to hold back and ordered her cat to attack. The cat was just acting that it was frozen by Araya’s bounded barrier. But it only surprised him for a second and it was crushed along with the ceiling. He believes he won, but the cat was still alive and it ate him. His body was torn to pieces and there was no way he was alive. Tohko lifts her body up and starts walking. But something stabbed her from behind. Someone’s hand was sticking out her chest. Araya Souren literally came out of the wall behind her. The Araya that she just killed was a puppet. But Tohko’s body is real. Araya crushes her heart. He realized the cat monster was a holographic image shaped by ether, being projected by Tohko’s suitcase. When he popped open the suitcase, there was a film projector. Before she died, Tohko asked Araya a question she asked once before, what do you wish for? He answers that he doesn’t wish anything. This man doesn’t wish anything in the world, he just wants to end it. Tohko tells him one last thing, there’s two types of suppressing powers. The ultimate will of mankind to survive and the ultimate will of the world to survive. Which one is his enemy? Araya answers that it is mankind. That means he is up against the will power of 6 billion human beings in the world, she says he’ll never have a chance. He answers that he will win, without hesitation. How pitiful, Araya. Saying those last words, Tohko’s body stopped it’s function. Araya tore off her head from the body and left the lobby.
Araya Souren is sitting in a dark place. Sound of steams. Tohko’s head is inside a glass bottle with some liquids. Arba comes in yelling at him. Arba chose to come here because Araya said that he’ll let him kill Tohko. Araya tosses him the bottle with Tohko’s head. Arba leaves the room giggling. He didn’t hear Araya saying, you’re fate is already determined.
Enjou Tomoe was shivering with fear in Shiki’s room. Back when Araya just defeated Shiki, his body started moving again and it glared at him. He was just scared and without thinking about anything else, he ran away to this place. He was helpless. He always thought he could do anything on his own, but right now he couldn’t even go help Shiki. But when he saw Shiki’s katana laying on the floor, he remember his feeling towards her. Just when he made up his mind that he isn’t afraid to die for Shiki, the door bell rang. It was Kokuto Mikiya. Hearing Tomoe’s story, Mikiya was more calm about the situation and proposed to get help from the Police. But Tomoe insisted that he needs to go save Shiki and they decided to go together. There was one place Mikiya needed to take Tomoe before that though. They got on and off a train and walked through the night city. When Tomoe was irritated where this guy was taking him instead of saving Shiki, they arrive at a rundown house. Tomoe knew this house, it’s the house that their family was living before they had to move around from money problems. He remembers the time he spent with his family, and the time his father gave him their house key telling him not to lose it. The house key signified that he was part of the family… The responsibility of protecting his family… Tomoe couldn’t stop crying. All he could do was to ignore his parents when they were the ones who needed his help the most. The apartment or the dream didn’t kill his parents, he did. Tomoe determined that he needs to take responsibility. He needs to fight for his family and himself, not for Shiki. Now with that in mind, he headed for the apartment with Mikiya.
The plan was very simple. Mikiya goes in from the front entrance to distract their enemy while Tomoe sneaked in from the underground parking lot, through the elevator to get to the top floor, where Shiki is most likely held captive. Before they separated, Tomoe gave the keys to Shiki’s room to Mikiya, because he knew he could trust Shiki with this person. When Mikya entered the apartment, Arba just came out of the elevator, holding Tohko’s head in his hand. He crushes the head in front of him in joy. Without raising a voice, Mikiya just ran away towards the east lobby. His mind lost its rationality and didn’t even remember that the lobby is a dead end.
When Tomoe entered the underground parking lot, he heard a sound of steams. He somehow knew this place and his body is shaking. There was a steamed steel plate in the middle of the room and tubes were all over the place. One end of the tube ran towards the ceiling, while the other end lead to a number of glass bottles. Something was inside the glass bottle, and it only looked like a human brain. That was what was still moving the fake residents of the apartment and making them repeat the same last day over and over. He soon found himself, thinking, right in front of his eyes. Two tubes were running from the bottle, one leading to the ceiling, and the other was cut off in the middle. That moment, his left arm that was hurting since last night fell off from his elbow. Aside from the things that looked like muscles and bones, something that looked like gears were also there. Tomoe couldn’t stop laughing. He is able to think and do so much things, yet all he did was to kill his parents and ran… Taking the knife and Katana that he brought, Tomoe got on the elevator and pushed the button to the top floor.
While Mikiya was escaping from Arba, he got his knee cut and fell down. He tried to fight back using a paper knife that he had, but it only pierced Arba’s hand and Mikiya fell unconscious from the pain. Saying that it hurt, Arba took Mikiya’s head and banged it against the stairs repetitively. When he felt better and thought that he had no reason to stay here anymore, he heard foot steps. When he looked back, Tohko was standing there with her bigger suit case. Arba couldn’t help it but to say, “but you’re suppose to be dead!” This Tohko in front of him or the Tohko he killed, one of it had to be a puppet. But both of them felt real without any flaw. Tohko said even I don’t know which one was the real me, maybe both of them are puppets. But that doesn’t matter because the fact is that she is there. That was totally incomprehensible to Arba. When he studied sorcery, the real him always needed to be there so he can observe his achievements. It was pointless if he didn’t have his real self anymore. But that didn’t matter to Tohko. That is the true mindset of a “sorcerer” which Arba didn’t have. A Sorcerer’s own ego was a subtle issue to the development of sorcery. Tohko opened her big suit case and two eyes were gleaming out of its darkness. Tentacles came out and grabbed Arba. They pulled him in and started eating him alive. Arba was wanting to show that he was the better sorcerer than her, but his last thought was that he shouldn’t have involved himself with such monsters like Tohko and Araya. Tohko hurries to help Mikiya. It has been an hour since he got cut. The trap that she set on the first day she came to this apartment went off and Arba wasn’t able to see and think until she came. And so Mikiya’s only injury was his knee.
Tomoe reached the top floor and faced Araya. Araya had no interest in him, he was just a puppet who wandered off from the spiral. He said that he took that as an advantage and used Tomoe to lure Shiki into this building. The emotion Tomoe felt towards Shiki was preprogrammed by Araya and no feeling of him was real. But Tomoe told him, there’s no real or fake to human beings. What is important that he’s here having strong thoughts and feelings. He really did like Shiki. But now he need to risk his life and fight for no other one but for himself. Tomoe asks Araya, am I fake? Araya says there’s no need to answer Tomoe says, yeah, but my feelings are real. He started sprinting towards Araya, as Enjou Tomoe. He was only aiming for his chest. He gets stopped by Araya’s bounded barrier. But Tomoe put all his force within his body as he thought of the memories and thoughts he experienced for the past month, and he was able to break off his leg. His falling body landed the knife into Araya’s chest. But that was too weak of an attack to hurt the sorcerer and Araya called him a fool. Your origin, the meaning and direction of your existence set from the beginning of your birth, is “worthless”. Saying that, he crushed Tomoe’s body to pieces.
Araya sent his mind to the bottom floor and started talking with Tohko. Tohko had no interest in fighting him anymore, but told him he made one mistake. Knowing that he is an expert of an bounded field, she knew he must have imprisoned Shiki inside an inescapable air space created out of sorcery. But that was a mistake against the user of the Eyes of Death Perception. An invisible prison is far more effective than a physical one against an ordinary human, but not to Shiki who can see the death of things. She would have had more trouble with a simple prison made of a concrete wall since she only has the physical strength of a girl, without a tool. Araya has indeed used a prison made out of sorcery. Araya felt that Shiki escaped his prison and he had to sent his mind back to his main body. Shiki came out of the elevator, holding her Katana. Araya thinks where he made the miscalculation. If Shiki didn’t have the time to regain her consciousness, there was no problem with him using the prison made out of sorcery. Where did he lose this time? Not by the conversation with Tohko because that only took few seconds. “Enjou Tomoe…” it was the few minutes that he took to fight Tomoe. Shiki denies it by saying she just woke up on her own, but says that Tomoe had already ruined your plan. The moment he left the apartment, he was already a factor out of Araya’s original plan. Araya sensed something different from Shiki from the one that he fought yesterday. Shiki told him, she isn’t happy at all to fight him, even though she should be able to have a great fight with him. That is probably because of her feeling towards the one who killed Tomoe. Shiki runs straight up to him, kills his crushing air space, and killed two of his bounded barrier in an instant. Araya jumped away from her. His right arm tore off from his shoulders as he jumped away. She was so fast that he never realized when he was sliced. Araya suspected that her change in her strength was due to her weapon. When ancient warriors held their katana into their hand, they converted themselves into a battle state. Their mind and bodies turned into fighting machines. When Araya pointed that out, she answered yes in a woman’s accent. Then you weren’t fighting Fujino seriously, he asked. She answered, no I am always fighting seriously. Araya finally realized he is talking to another personality of Shiki. He needed to get her body no matter what. His torn right arm jumped to Shiki’s throat like a snake, while he used his left arm to crush the air space around Shiki’s body. Her leather jacket is ripped apart, but her body in the white kimono disappeared. She appeared in front of him and stabbed his chest. Araya determines that the only way he’ll be able to stop her is to sacrifice his world with her. His black silhouette disappears. Without thinking much, Shiki jumped off the building.
Araya appeared in the garden in front of his apartment. He thought of crushing the apartment along with Shiki. That instant, his body was ripped in half from his shoulder. Shiki dropped down from the 10th floor and sliced his body. How different is that from dropping a needle from up there aiming for a target? Her body was froze in mid air ironically by Araya’s last bounded barrier. He kicked Shiki out of the way. The katana broke and she landed on the floor unconscious. His goal was right in front of his eyes, but he couldn’t move anymore. “I see, my origin was ’standstill’”
Tohko came up to Araya as if she was on the way home from a walk. She asks him the reason he was trying to pursue the root of things so badly. He said he forgot, but in his mind, he thought of the time he traveled around the war battlegrounds as monk. There was no salvation there. Human beings can’t be saved. That’s why he thought of recording death. And by recording the end of the world, he was trying to determine who was happy and who was sad. Maybe he is able to find a meaning to people’s lives by reviewing everything at the end. That’s why he was trying to end the world. Tohko tells him an ironic story. Arayashiki is another term for the suppression power of the human beings. He had the same name as the thing he was fighting all his life. He is unable to answer. His body is turning to dusts. At the end, Tohko asks him one last time. “Araya, what do you seek for?” “True Knowledge” “Araya, where do you seek it” “Only within myself” “Araya, where are you heading for?” Of course, to the end of this World(spiral) full of paradox, she thought he said that as he crumbled away by the wind.
A girl was waiting for someone at a cafe. Another boy was sitting behind her, also waiting for someone. The boy she was waiting for was late, but seeing that another person is waiting for someone who’s also late, she sat and waited patiently. The idiot who is wearing all black finally came, while there was another girl in white who came for the other boy. The girl who was waiting took the west exit while the other boy who was waiting took the opposite east exit. When she looked back, their eyes met. They waved to each other for no reason. Good bye, she thought she heard the boy who looked like a person she knew say that.
Shiki was waken up by a door bell. She didn’t feel like seeing Mikiya right now and stayed in her bed. But he opened the lock and came in. He brought breakfast for her. Two weeks has passed since the incident and their wounds were starting to heal. Mikiya tells her to make sure she finishes high school. Facing the other way, Shiki asks Mikiya for his house key saying it’s not fair.

I noticed there were some differences and missing parts between the novel version and movie version. IMO, One of the important things that lack on the movie was Cornelius’ part. As you can see from the Novel Synopsis, there were some actions from Cornelius against Touko. But on the movie, Cornelius is such a useless character though his laugh kinda hilarious. But that didn’t make him as an hero. He happened to be there just to be rawr’d by tentacle suitcase. Well anyway, I think I could fill that missing part with this fabulous lulz.
