In _Kara no Kyoukai 4: The Hollow Shrine_ when Ryougi Shiki is in a coma after
throwing herself in front of a truck, her other persona, SHIKI, seems to trade
places with Shiki as she's falling. It's later revealed by Touko that SHIKI
gave his life to save Shiki.

So how was it SHIKI saved Shiki while she was in a coma? What was happening to
Shiki that would allow SHIKI to trade places and cease to exist?

How was it SHIKI saved Shiki?


From the novel, the doctor said that Shiki jumped the instant before the
collision, so there wasn't much physical injury. The head experienced some
collision thus put her into a coma. Aozaki also states later that SHIKI died
spiritually.

From the narrative it seemed that SHIKI died during the collision.

At the end of the chapter, Shiki herself states that SHIKI probably died in a
suicidal sense, because he wanted to avoid himself harming Kokutō.
