Background[]

Namie was occasionally sent to her uncle's home, Seitarou Yagiri, when she was younger before Seiji was even born. He returned one day from a trip to another country and it is when he showed Namie the gorgeous head, Celty. Namie suspected it was a doll till she felt it and it was warm and realized it was alive. Around the time when Seiji was born, their parents made a huge mistake when they struggled with their clients, causing them to lose their jobs. As they try to get their original lives back, they weren't capable of taking care of Namie and Seiji. Instead, they entrusted Namie to look after her younger brother. As she took care of Seiji, she started to love no one but Seiji because of them being the only ones together. She then started getting attracted to Seiji as a love interest.

Many years passed and their uncle, Seitarou Yagiri, took both Namie and Seiji in. It was beneficial to Seitarou because he believed they will be good service to him in the near future. Later, Namie had decided to show Seiji Celty's head. Namie was oblivious to the fact that Seiji was growing more attracted to the head. Seiji asked Namie to see the head more frequently and obsessively. Seiji then finally admitted that he was totally in love with the head.

Later in the years, Namie transcends in her science and medical studies leading to her becoming the chief of one of Seitarou's research teams. She was given permission by her uncle to take custody and explore more information about Celty's head while also keeping the head out of Seiji's reach because of his addiction to the head.
