In the Normal Ending, Kou and Asuka come across a child with a significant resemblance to Shiori, and wonder if she has somehow been resurrected once more. On her defeat, she teleports herself and the XRC to the Box's outskirts, before fading away from existence. The chapter ends with Shiori travelling to Acros Tower and, amid the terror of its customers, beginning its transformation into Pandora's Box, plunging all of Morimiya into an Eclipse.Īfter the XRC makes its way to the center of the Box, Shiori informs them of what happened to her during the Twilight Disaster, and proceeds to engage them in combat. She gives comfort and reassurance to Kou throughout the game, even if she's never privy to exactly what he's experiencing.ĭuring Chapter 7, Shiori acquires a heavy cold: A sign of her true form as a Greed coming to fruition. Until the final parts of the game, Shiori, while always a presence within the story, is never heavily involved with most of its major events, and what significance she does have is often that of a victim (specifically, her being kidnapped by a greed into the labyrinth where Kou first discovers his soul device, and when the Mist Witch warps Morimiya Academy into the Briar Castle). This is what leads to the uptick in Eclipse-related activity that sparks the game's events: The increasing access to information modern technology provides begins to conflict with Morimiya's alternate reality, leading the area to become unstable. The apostle, in a sense, granted her desires: While in reality, Shiori was still dead, the town of Morimiya specifically would exist in an altered version of reality where she was still living, with Shiori herself unable to leave her home's borders. In her final moments, Shiori prayed she would somehow survive, a wish heard by the Twilight Apostle. Shiori, as seen throughout most of the game, is not the "real" Shiori Kurashiki: In actuality, she died ten years ago during the onset of the Tokyo Twilight Disaster, crushed by debris while trying to escape their neighbourhood's destruction with Kou.
