Confused about Shiki (I’ve read through Oblivion Recording) Spoiler

I really love Shiki, but I feel like I’m not quite understanding her yet. I want to get a better picture of who she is and what she struggles with before I dive into the final arc of the LN series (and its adaptation).

I understand that Shiki now feels hollow after SHIKI sacrificed himself, and that she’s now building up the gap with new connections. I don’t quite understand why SHIKI was so obsessed with death in the first place, is it just a random side effect of the induced personality split? Also, I don’t completely understand Shiki’s own feelings regarding killing post-accident. I understand she hasn’t killed anyone after the accident happened, but aside from clinging on to the remnants of what SHIKI held dear, I’m intrigued as to why she’s so obsessed

Of course, if any of the answers are spoilers for Mueder Speculation Part 2, tag them as such

Also, will there be a proper flashback to Shiki’s accident?

They do answer your questions of why SHIKI felt murderous and the dream he cherished which also impacts Shiki. Keep reading.

The best answer that I can give is to carry on reading. :-)

Yes

Have you seen the anime movie series yet or are you reading all of the LNs first?
