Gai has a Void GenomeHow else did he predict that Daryl's Void would produce a Beehive Barrier-producing gun that, as a side effect, produces a visual effect not unlike a Kaleidoscope? It also makes sense if one "power" was the ability of "Insight" and "Extracting Voids (weapons) from people" - together they're a potent combination which would befit Gai (Fighting Skills - Shu's Void Genome and Tactical Mind - Gai's talents) and be possibly another reason he intended to have Shu's Void Genome. More specifically, Inori is modeled after Shu's sister, Mana, who saved Gai the summer before Lost Christmas. This may be only partially right as later flashbacks seem to hint she may have actually been Shu's sister, though there still may be a connection to Gai.She's possibly a clone of Gai's sister (since he mentions someone he was close to), and the flashes of memory are the sister's (as there are theories that memories could be encoded in genes), each time Shu extracts a Void, he unleashes more of the memories.

Also in Episode 6, during an Inori Void sequence, there is a brief flash of a much more normal looking girl with straight brown hair similar to Gai's who may in fact, be the original. As noted below, her artificiality would explain some of her uncanny abilities and general social detachment, as well as her devotion to Gai. I think that the Apocalyptic Virus was what killed the original Inori, just like what is afflicting Yahiro's little brother. I also think it's hinted at from the pendant which Gai is seen clutching in the Theme as well, which probably belonged to the original Inori first. This comes both from the cryptic reference Gai made in Episode 5 as well as the fact that in the Theme Song there are two Inoris which walk together and become one. Inori is in some way artificial and modeled after a girl from Gai's past.
