So the other day, I was mulling around some beauty shop with my mom, and I noticed the guy behind the register was trying to speak to us, but kinda failing, a mix of barely incoherent English with Korean words thrown in. So I thought, hey, what the heck, let me at least say thank you to the guy in Korean when he gives us our change. Which I did.

I swear, the guy almost choked on his saliva.

All I could think of, when I saw his expression was, please don’t have a heart-attack, please don’t have a heart-attack, please close your mouth, the flies are getting in, please don’t have a heart-attack. I mumbled a goodbye, in English of course, and practically dragged my mom out of the store. Poor guy, may he never receive such a shock again.

Could Shiki be the culprit behind the string of brutal murders? And if so, will Mikiya be her next victim?
