Shino

Shino was the wife of Ray Lundgren and the creator of the powerful armor Volkain. She was murdered by The Claw prior to the events of the story, though her presence lingers through her creation. It is implied—though never confirmed—that Shino may have knowingly or unknowingly contributed to The Claw's ambitions, as he later tells Ray that Volkain was designed to support one of his many projects. [Spoiler] Shino appears only once in the series (her face obscured), during Ray's final moments. After inflicting critical damage on The Claw's armor, Ray finds himself on a porch in a dreamlike vision, where Shino is seen hanging laundry that conceals her features. She gently asks him what he was dreaming about. After he replies that it's all over, Ray steps behind the sheet and shares a final kiss with her, suggesting a peaceful reunion beyond death. [/Spoiler]
