Seira's parents, who moved to New York when she was six years old and her brother was twelve, passed away in a car accident last year, leaving her and her brother in severe grief. When she told her brother Kiyoto and his husband Damien she had Glioblastoma and that she didn't have much time left, both were shocked, heartbroken then went hysterical saying they along with their 5-year-old son Zevin wanted to come back to her from Singapore where her brother was working as the president of a famous law firm that he established six years back while Damien never really disclosed what his family business was but she knew that he was a president of a very famous company that was working in various fields. So after a lot of heated arguments between the siblings about Seira going back to SWORD, it was decided that after finishing their pending work along with Zevin's examinations the three of them would join her at the house which was on now outskirts of Daruma Ikka territory right beside the ocean(house reference above⬆️). The area was called Beach Line. The house was spread across a large portion of land with a huge pond right in the centre. The house accommodated about twelve bedrooms spread across the house with a huge kitchen facing the sea, a spacious garage and other facilities. Though the house from the outside was designed in the traditional way but from the inside it was a perfect blend of modern meets traditional. Seira's Grandpa wanted to mix both styles for his grandkids so that they would be comfortable visiting them. Seira was too emotionally attached to the house after all she was born and brought up here and had spent most of her childhood here with her grandparents and her brother. She contacted her Grandpa's old friend Koji-san whom the house was left in care of by her Grandpa after his death to open the house completely before she had come. She hadn't even contacted her own cousin who lived here because she had been getting the house set with the furniture she had gotten from New York and then she got occupied with the construction work of her new shop. She and her cousin only kept in contact through texts while Kiyoto and he would call once a month to check over each other. Because of Seira's busy profession, she had been detached from not only her cousin but most of her high school friends. She would get updates about her cousin from her brother from time to time and from the text she and him would exchange whenever possible.

Her brother was nevertheless still reluctant to let his little sister go. But after the heated argument between the two they agreed only on the note that Seira would never reveal her surname at least not until he arrived and had a weekly checkup by Demian's good friend and wife of his other good friend Dr Serizawa Leora who was the head neurologist doctor at JP Hospital which was the only large hospital in Toarushi district. Leora was the head of the neurology department and was familiar with Seira's disease. Seira asked about the surname thing only for Kiyoto to tell her that he would explain all of it when he joined her at the house so she agreed to it despite finding it very frustrating and fishy. When they had come to see her off Damien asked her to keep his number at the top of emergency contact because he knew Kiyoto would go into hysterical panic mode if Seira encountered any problem which she strongly agreed with and asked her to not hesitate in calling him if any trouble arises even if it's not a big one. He promised her that he and her brother as well as their son would join her at the house as soon as possible. Bidding them a warm goodbye Seira hopped on the airplane and left.

Seira, an exceptionally talented painter who held exhibitions all over the world under an anonymous name, had left her job and a very close friend behind with a vague note explaining her departure, packed her belongings and returned to Beach Line. Since she was a kid, her Grandpa taught her and her brother Kenjutsu. Even after moving to New York, Seira did not give up and continued her Kenjutsu training intending to become a professional. She even practised judo, karate, boxing, and gymnastics to improve her performance. However, after suffering a significant leg injury during her competition, Seira had no choice but to give up. When despair hovered over her, her brother gave her a canvas and paints and urged her to pour her feelings out on it because Seira tended to keep everything inside and cope with it quietly without asking for or allowing anybody to help her no matter how much it destroyed her inside. While undergoing treatment, Seira began drawing. That's where her mentor discovered her. The painting had him spellbound. The painting depicted a magnificent yet melancholy view of the ocean with a girl sitting by the coast. When he approached her and asked what the painting represented. She told him it was the place where she longed for. The emotions she poured into the painting were reflecting on her. The strokes were a bit messy but they were beautiful in their own way. He was intrigued by her artwork when he asked her later if she was attending art classes. To his astonishment, she told him that it was her first time painting. He saw eminence potential in her. One thing led to another and her journey as a painter began.
