Status Updates From Violets and Violence (Tokyo...

"What are you?” she asked, her voice firm.
“A Shinigami.”
Her glower intensified and the temperature dropped even lower. “I’m not leaving this world until I find my killer and destroy him.” Her words penetrated into Shinji’s skull, like she was speaking directly inside his head. It had been a while since he met a spirit that oozed so much hatred.

Damn straight she's angry. She should be. Disrespectful bastard

I like Natsue, Terou's sister. She is a get-shit-done boss who is absolutely not appreciated by her ass hat of a father.

In other Hayashi family drama, I'm guessing their mother did something really risky with Terou when he was a fetus. The question remains what? The why is obvious?

Oh wait did a member of Miyazaki family heal her womb?

Well, I just had a rather fun thought. Makoda remembers smelling decay and seeing Violets before her death.

What if the murderer is keeping the corpse of his mother (or wife/girlfriend) in his house? The flowers are their favourite and an apology. Hence, leaving them with the body every time he 'kills' her.

Teruo wrapped an arm around her shoulders and squeezed lightly. “There are very few people I hold dear in my heart. You’re one of them. I’ll always worry about you.”
Her lips stretched in a wide smile. “Since when have you become such a smooth talker? Must be Shinji’s influence.”
“He can take full credit.” Teruo grinned.

I really like the impact Shinji has had on Terou. Only people like Megumi can see it.

“Furuya’s staring.”
“I noticed,” Shinji said, sniffing in annoyance.
“That guy either passionately hates you or wants to make passionate love to you.” Keiko nodded sagely to herself.

What can I say the girl (ghost? whatever) isn't wrong.

I've been looking forward to this for months. Back into a world of crime and supernatural.

"Symbolism, right? But of what?"
This is Shinji in relation to our latest baddie's violet obsession. My first instinct is to go with floriography. The meaning would be modesty, humility, or faithfulness. So maybe he perceived the victims (including Megumi) were not.
