In reality, the vampire named Michael Roa Valdamjong had chosen SHIKI as his host body for his new reincarnation and started to emerge after his sixteenth birthday, which was the real reason that drove him mad. In order to maintain the family name, Makihisa informs the world that the adopted child had died in a car accident, which also left the real heir incapacitated. With this declaration, Makihisa switches the lives of Shiki and SHIKI. However, he still could not have Shiki with him, and had him sent to the Arima family, from where he returned 8 years later, at the beginning of the game.
