Ten years prior to the events in question, a seventeen-year-old Rohan moved into [[Rohan Kishibe's grandmotherYu|his grandmother]]'s inn for the summer, hoping to create a one-shot that would launch his career as a manga artist. At that time, Rohan met a young and mysterious woman named [[Nanase Kishibe|Nanase Fujikura]], the only tenant of the inn. The two youths eventually became friends, though the woman seemed unusually interested in Rohan's work. One evening, Nanase presented to Rohan the story of the blackest pigment of the world: 300 years ago, the Japanese artist [[Nizaemon Yamamura]] found the pigment within a tree trunk and used it in many of his works. However, the tree he cut to exploit the pigment was private property, and the lord of the property had him put to death. Rumors spread that the painter cast a curse upon his works, leading to all of his paintings being burned except one. Nanase had seen that "evil" painting once, before it was sold to the Louvre. Before she could provide any more detail, Nanase was interrupted by a call from her husband, and rushed out of the inn to meet with him. One week later, Nanase mysteriously reappeared and tearfully threw herself into Rohan's arms. Seeing that Rohan created a character in his manga based on her likeness, Nanase quickly destroyed the drafts and apologized to Rohan before once again disappearing from his life.
