Shiki

S01E03

Intro

Novel Text by Muroi:

The desert was frozen solid.
The sky shrouded all in darkness.
The world was split between earth and sky.
On this barren land only he and the dark spirits trod.
The cursed exile
The cursed exile
The cursed exile
Soon the sun shall fade and night shall fall once again.
Then he will return to his wasteland.
The younger brother he slew. 
Standing over the corpse, he shed tears as he bid farewell 
Tonight he shall rise from his grave

First encounter with sunako on the stairs

Shiki: "village enveloped by death", that's our village isn't it
...
"A village like one big shrine"
I know daddy feels the same way. He decided to move here after reading that essay.
...
You'remore normal than I expected.
...
I almost expected you to have horns and a tail
After all that's how they always describe those cast out by god
But even if you don't have horns you have scars
Just slitting the wrists isn't enough to kill someone\

Muroi: Yes I didn't die. I think I expected that

Sunako: What kind of novel are you writing now?
Muroi: It's about a man wandering the wilderness.
An older brother who killed his younger brother is exiled from his town and wanders the wilderness and his dead younger brother follows him.
Sunako: Does the dead brother do so after becoming a ghost
Murio: It's a little different from ghosts.
He's a shiki, a corpse demon.
It's the name I gave to corpses that rose from their graves.
Sunako: So their different from ghosts.
Unlike ghosts they have bodies.
They didn't come back to life.
They have a corpse for a body.
But they're not just corpses like zombies.
They have souls and are equal to humans right?
But they're different from humans.
An existence of a completely different nature.
Shiki, that's good, that sounds very nice. I like it.
The motif is from genesis in the bible right?
Cain and Abel, a story about the older brother Cain killing his younger brother Abel.
Muroi: There's something I was thinking of asking you the next time I saw you too.
Are you Abel? => Teeth out
I think you are a Shiki => Teeth in
Sunako: You really are a romanticist
