Personality[]

Shiki initially presents himself as a Bully, using their age difference (he is a year older than Kabane) as a form of authority, and telling the other boy they aren't friends because they're both hybrids. However, this cold and superior attitude is a facade, which hides an insecure and lonely young man, over time certain events have shown his more human and vulnerable side.

On missions, Shiki is calm and analytical, with a remarkable ability to quickly assess situations and react efficiently. His ability with his threads is one of his greatest strengths, being able to use them to protect himself and his allies in dangerous situations. Despite this, Shiki has an explosive temper and, when pressured or challenged, can act impulsively, which makes him susceptible to moments of emotional weakness.
