Asami Akiba

Asami Akiba was a human who plotted with the rest of her family to kill her grandfather so she could inherit his fortune. She was the daughter of Shuji and Miharu, the granddaughter of Shuzo, and the sister of Koichi.

History
Asami used to be a kindgerten teacher until she retired after having an affair with the father of one of her pupils. The man attempted to get a divorce from his wife to be with Asami, but the wife demanded stiff consolation money or she'd take him to court.

Desperate for money and wishing to start over, she agreed to go with her mother and brother's plot to kill her grandfather so she could inherit her part of his fortune.

A Soul Lost in Darkness
Asami picked up her grandfather from her hospital, and began to drive him home. On the way back, she sped up drastically, claiming to be trying to outrace incoming fog. She feigned losing control of the vehicle as a faux semi truck headed her way. Her grandfather died of a heart attack, as per the plan. The so called semi was actually stage lighting her brother had set up.

Afterwards, the family packed up the stage equipment and drove home. On the way back, Koichi claimed he was hungry and they pulled over to have a meal. Asami did so reluctantly and did not have an appetite, still thinking how they'd murdered her grandfather. Her grandfather was left in the backseat of the car as anyone who saw him would think he was asleep. A nightbreed possessed his body while they were inside and left with it.

Asami was shocked to find his body was gone, and the family was left believing that he hadn't actually been dead.
