I'm really confused as to whether Shiki Nanaya is the master or servant of
White Len. At first, he seems to act as a Familiar created by White Len, but
then he says that he'll be a good master to White Len. There's also the fact
that he only came into physical existence outside TATARI because of White Len,
since every other appearance outside _Melty Blood_ he has been a persona of
Shiki.

So, is he White Len's master—like how Shiki is Len's Master—or are the roles
reversed, and she is the master keeping his physical existence in the world
(as Familiars can only be in the world if supplied with _prana_ from their
master)?

In Melty Blood, is Shiki Nanaya the master or servant of White Len?


White Len's contract with Nanaya (this is the supressed personality of Tohno
Shiki, from _Tsukihime_ ) is a symbiotic (yet seemingly contradictory) one --
she maintains his existence with her TATARI powers, while he supplies her with
the prana she needs to survive.

However, in the White Len ending in _Act Cadenza_ , Nanaya clears states that
he is in the "master" role:
