Shiki awakens in the Tohno household, and is scolded over breakfast by Akiha for being late the previous night. As Shiki collapses, Arcueid kisses him on the forehead, thanking him for his work. However, Nrvnqsr's overconfidence allows Shiki to bypass his guard and kill him. As Nrvnqsr arrives, Shiki attacks him, but is quickly repelled. As a result, she employs a trap using herself as bait for Nrvnqsr, while Shiki will kill him when he arrives. She then implores into the nature of Shiki's power, which she identifies as the Mystic Eyes of Death Perception, enabling Shiki to see the fated destruction of an object, and erase it from existence. Shiki awakens in Arcueid's apartment, where Arcueid explains the difference between the True Ancestors and the Dead Apostles, and how her mission was to slay the latter. With Shiki's aid, the two manage to escape, and Arcueid recruits Shiki to help her kill Nrvnqsr. The same hounds begin to attack the hotel they are in, and Arcueid, weakened due to needing to regenerate after Shiki killed her, is forced to face the vampire Nrvnqsr Chaos. She then identifies herself as Arcueid Brunestud, a vampire, and that she is hunting another vampire in the city. As she approaches him, they are confronted by a pair of demonic hounds, whom the woman easily slays. As he returns home after school, however, he sees her in front of the house, and he flees once more, only to be cornered by her in an alley.
Shiki is terrified of the woman and flees. He awakens in his sister's house, but on his way to school the following day, he sees the woman again.
