After a two-year coma from a car accident, a teenage girl regains consciousness possessing the "Mystic Eyes of Death Perception"—a supernatural ability that lets her see the "death" inherent in all things and destroy objects by cutting their "origin." Before the accident, she had dual personalities: a male persona called Shiki (織) and the primary female identity, also named Shiki (式). In the Ryougi lineage, children are typically born male and raised with two distinct personalities, with the male designated as "yang" and the female as "yin." Which Shiki is active can be identified by speech patterns: the female Shiki uses watashi (私) and the male uses ore (俺). When she awakens, the girl finds no trace of the male Shiki and assumes he died in the accident. She feels disconnected from her past memories, acknowledging herself as Shiki yet estranged from her former self. To reclaim that lost self and the "deceased" Shiki, she adopts a cold demeanor reminiscent of the male Shiki and tries to mimic the behavior of her previous female self. Touko understands Shiki's sense of alienation but considers the current Shiki an entirely new personality. This story takes place in the same universe as Tsukihime, another TYPE-MOON work. Touko Aozaki, sister of Aoko Aozaki, plays a key role here, and the protagonist Shiki Ryougi shares abilities with Tsukihime's main character, Shiki Tohno.
