Jin Furue

## Name

**Jin Furue** (古衛 迅, *Furue Jin*) was a minor character in *AI: THE SOMNIUM FILES - nirvanA Initiative*.

Jin was the CEO of the IT company "Music Food". Recognized as a young industrialist by many, he was famous and made several media appearances throughout his career.

Jin was the first victim of the Half Body Serial Killings. The right half of his body appeared February 10th, 2020, at Studio Dvaita. His left half was not found until six years later.

## Design

Jin Furue initially appears as a young man with a combed back blond undercut and gray eyes. He wears a gray turtleneck and darker gray suit, and white loafers.

However, that is Uru Somezuki's original appearance, and how Jin presented himself online via edited photos, as he himself never made a public appearance until his corpse was discovered. In reality, Jin was born as a man with rounder face with different proportions. He had a bigger nose, thicker eyebrows, and bigger eyes, as well as a percent-shaped birthmark on the left half of his face. His hair was black instead of blond.

As time passed, Jin's organs were replaced with Uru's, including his skin, making his right half look like Uru. His left half, however, remained untouched, because Chikara, as a member of the Order of %, wanted to preserve the birthmark he considered sacred. At the time of his death, Jin looked as if his left half and Uru's right half were conjoined.

## Personality

Very little is known about Jin's personality, though he is described in different ways by those familiar with him as a celebrity. He is regarded as "a brilliant genius who isn't afraid of cutting through bullshit", or "a pretentious jerk who constantly complains online to draw attention to himself". According to a nurse at Central Hospital, he was meek and quiet. Uru's diary said that on February 9th, 2020, the day Jin was killed, he visited Uru to "apologize for everything he's done," suggesting he felt sorry for Uru and guilty about Chikara's organ harvesting.

### Early Life

Sometime before his birth, Tokiko Shigure had an affair with the then-married Chikara Horadori, both of whom were members of Naixatloz, and became pregnant with his child. Although Chikara initially insisted Tokiko on aborting the child, Tokiko under heavy depression and suicidal thoughts ultimately decided to have the child. Jin was then born on August 29, 1990, where he was dubbed the "Almighty" by his father, who had believed Jin was omniscient and could conquer death.

Ultimately due to unknown circumstances, Jin was adopted by the Furue family though his birth mother continued to keep tabs on him. However despite the epithet given to him by his father, Jin was extremely frail and often ill as remembered by Hanayo Nasu, a nurse who was one of the few people to actually ever see Jin alive in person during his treatment at Central Hospital. Jin was diagnosed with a rare form of cancer named "half-body tumors," which caused tumors to only grow in the right half of his body. To fight this, Chikara and Tokiko decided to locate a child with the same genotype, abduct them and harvest their organs to replace Jin's cancerous ones. The child they found was Uru Somezuki at Aioen Orphanage, whom they kidnapped and imprisoned in a secret basement under Horadori Institute of Genetics.

As years passed, Chikara transplanted more and more of Uru's organs to Jin. However, sometime after his father Chikara joined the Order of %, Chikara did not dare to touch Jin's %-shaped birthmark on his left face, and only replaced Jin's right-half with Uru's, as the mark itself was deemed holy, Chikara did not dare to touch it. Ultimately, Uru's right-half was replaced with chitin, who ultimately began to hate Jin.

### Adulthood

As an adult, Jin lived a secluded life, never showing his real face to the public. He used a mirrored image of his face online, which hid his original face and made him look like Uru. Jin made a career as the CEO of the company "Music Food," a subscription music service. He was also an executive at a variety of companies, including IT firms, consultation companies, investment firms, and advertising agencies. His articles made him an influential person in the modern business world. Despite this, he managed to hide his true appearance from the public.

### Death

On February 9th, 2020, Jin visited Uru at Horadori Institute's basement to apologize for his treatment over the past years. Uru, blinded by rage and thinking Jin was mocking him, hit him, causing him to lose a tooth and pass out. Uru used the opportunity to get revenge. He placed Jin on the slicer, a machine Chikara developed to cut things at molecular level, and killed Jin by slicing him in two halves.

### Postmortem Involvement

For the sake of the Nirvana Initiative, which was Naixatloz's plan for all of humanity to achieve Moksha, Uru placed Jin's right half at Studio Dvaita up in the ceiling. The body would then trigger a brief blackout and drop onto the studio floor, setting into motion the plan. Before investigators are able to finish investigating the body, it burns up and is destroyed completely.

The left half of Jin's body was left on the stage of the Misetan Department Store. However on the early morning of 11th, before anyone discovered Jin's left half, a drunk Andes Komeji snuck into Misetan to look for his missing bow. Komeji stumbled across Jin's body and thought he could use it to blackmail Tearer to pay off his debts. He put Jin's body in his costume case and brought it home. When he sobered up and realized what he had done, Komeji hid the body with his daughter Amame Doi, who then gave the body to Gen Ishiyagane, who eventually came up with the solution of hiding the body in the freezer at his restaurant Brahman World Cuisine.

Jin's left half remained in the freezer at Brahman for the following six years, only to be found during the reinvestigation of the Half Body Serial Killings. Kaname Date, disguised as Gen, asked Lien Twining to open the freezer. Mizuki Date, Bibi and Kizuna Chieda later learned about the body inside.

### Ryuki Diverge Timeline

In this timeline, Jin's body in the Brahman freezer was found by Ryuki six years prior.
