Shiki’s origins are veiled in the same mist that surrounds her gaze.
Some say she was once sent to silence Risuma for his reinterpretation of the Church’s rites — yet when the moment came, she laid down her blade.

If Risuma embodies faith tempered by reflection, Shiki is the edge that ensures his ideals survive the world’s cruelty.

“He walks between light and shadow. I simply keep the balance.”
