Kilahito is a major city in Nagadan, the largest nation on Komashi.[1][2] Yumi was Connected to a painter from Kilahito by a spirit, which enabled her to free herself from and destroy the father machine. It is also the site of the battle of Kilahito.[3]
Geography
Kilahito is located not far from the ruins of Torio City, and it is of a comparable size.[4] It is also only five miles from Yumi's prison, during her time of captivity.[5] The city is laid out in a circular configuration,[6] that is sometimes broken into different wedges and rings,[7][8] crossed with asphalt streets[9] wide enough for vehicles.[10] Warehouse structures with white faces and no outward-facing windows circle the perimeter of the city, just inside of a perimeter road.[6] The city is likely built around a hion stub,[11] and it is adjacent to a lake, which serves as the city's primary water supply..[10]
While the machine is active, the shroud encircles the city like a dome, though following the battle of Kilahito the shroud dissipates.[12] Due to fear of nightmares during that period, poorer sections of the town are located closer to the perimeter.[13] A pleasure district, as well as the narrow Rabble Way--a "low-end" merchant district, are located near the perimeter, and tend to be more active at night than the rest of the city.[6][8] Due to the unending darkness of the shroud, "night time" is a matter of convention that the city generally follows.[6] Other than the nightmares during this period of the city's history, the town is considered to be quite safe.[6]
Landmarks
- Nightmare Division headquarters
- The Nightmare Division has a headquarters located in the city where painters report in after duty. The foreman, Sukishi, has an office there.[10]
- The Noodle Pupil
- The Noodle Pupil, later renamed the Noodle Princess,[6] is a restaurant managed by Design that is popular among the city's painters.[13] After the Cryptic leaves the city, the restaurant is managed by Yumi and Nikaro, who add an art gallery.[14]
- Carnival
- Kilahito's carnival, locally referred to by a term translated as "place of a million lights", opens on festivals, rest days, and for other celebratory events. The carnival includes food sales, games, entertainers, and rides, such as the Jotun Line.[15]
- Shinzua Shopping Center
- Shinzua Shopping Center is an upscale shopping center, with relatively high prices. Alternative shopping centers also exist.[9]
History
An army of hundreds of stable nightmares were sent to attack Kilahito, to destroy Nikaro's knowledge about the machine. Nikaro and his companions organized a resistance among many of the city's painters, who fought the creatures at the battle of Kilahito--preventing the nightmares from destroying the city. After the assault, the machine was destroyed and the shroud vanished, revealing the sun to the residents of Komashi.[12]
Culture
Crime rates in Kilahito are low, making it a relatively safe city, due in no small part to the nocturnal threat of nightmares.[6]
