Suigin (Sugi) Masuku, a book shop owner in London, is also a corpse. A corpse (in this reality) is a being with a special eye. They can see a person's personality, mood, and sometimes even their thoughts. Each corpse has their own eye, one may have...
"Hey, Sugi," Yurio said from the doorway of The Author's Library, "how's it going?"

"Fine," Sugi replied, "sale's going a bit slow, but only because the coffee shop is being renovated." She pointed to a corner where 2 people were trying to put up a large sign.
"I can see why," He chuckled, "though, I did hear some people talking about a book written from a demon's point of view. I wanted to know if you sold it."
"Yeah, I do happen to have that in stock..." Sugi got a delighted gleam in her eye, "follow me."
She lead Yurio to a nearby shelf
Sugi's fingers traced the spines of a few books before coming to rest on a book labeled "Demon Screaming"
"This should be it," She said, pulling the book off she shelf, handing it to Yurio, who took it and started flipping through the pages immediately.
"By Suigin Masuku..." he muttered, "Sugi, you never told me you wrote books."
"There's a lot of things you don't know about me, Yurio." Sugi replied, walking towards a table covered witch copies of books such as "If I Should go", "Stellar Sky", and a few more.
Yurio continued looking through the book, not paying any attention to a hooded figure walking in. The figure whispered to Sugi, who looked quite concerned. She whispered something in reply to him, and he nodded in reply. Sugi collapsed onto her chair, sighing.
"How am I supposed to do this?" she muttered.
"Did you say something?" Yurio looked up from the book.
"No." Sugi replied, flustered, putting a fake smile on her face.
"That's odd." Yuri said to himself "I could have sworn someone said something."
Sugi checked her watch, her eyes suddenly shooting open.
"Would you look at the time?" she said, "Time to close. Bye Yurio. have a nice night. come again soon" She pushed him out the door before he could protest, locking it behind him.
She slid down to sit, her back against the door. Sighing as she swept her hair from her eye. Her eye seemed to be a fishnet-like pattern, forming t's and X's in her eye. She proceeded to put her hair over her normal eye, making herself look like some sort of creature. Sugi got up and headed for the back of her shop.
"I guess the other corpses desire Miss Macabre again," she said, swinging her hips as she walked.
