Plot
Following the events in the second installment, A Study in Murder, Part 1, Shiki is rushed to the hospital for causes revealed in the seventh installment, A Study in Murder, Part 2.
This part of the series is about Shiki's experiences within the void with her male counterpart, SHIKI, and the resulting ability to 'perceive' and 'touch' the 'death' of things in the form of cracks that ran everywhere she looked.
It shows how Toko, Mikiya's employer, and Shiki met as she counsels her about the 'Mystic Eyes of Death Perception'.
It also gives a glimpse of how Mikiya lived two years of his life while Shiki was comatose.
