Except the difference doesn't come from simply turning into a Shiki.
It comes from waking up in an organisation that forces its members to kill by saying "kill or be killed" or "kill that person or we'll kill them ourselves anyway"

Which is once again something the viewers knew but not the villagers. When you learn that someone you know has turned into a bloodsucking murderous monster, jumping to the conclusion that he must be doing it under duress is hardly plausible. And, of course, the shiki could have ran away or tried to warn their families and friends instead of following the path of the least resistance, or ganged up against Tatsumi. No one forced Sunako to kill when she became a shiki, yet kill she did... a lot. Once they got over their initial shock, most shikis seemed to be enjoying the killing, rather than view at as reprehensible but needed for them to survive.
