Manjiro Sano killed all his gang friends just to get Hanagaki Takemichi to pay attention to him. Manjiro's mind had long been dominated by the black impulse that controlled the man, and this impulse now really wanted one thing - Takemichi.

More than once, Sano hears a voice in his head telling him what he should do. Sometimes he listens, and sometimes he ignores.

Takemichi Hanagaki had been his friend since he was a teenager. Their relationship was warm and close, except that.. there is one problem - Hinata Tachibana. Takemichi's girlfriend.

And Sano understood that he needed to get rid of a competitor. Then, Takemichi will be his. Only for Manjiro. And nothing will interfere with their happiness . Except for Takemichi's feelings, of course, but that's just a small thing.

For about two months now, Sano has been quietly following Hanagaki. And, more than once, he was with Hinata.

"It 's time to act." — Sano thought, tossing the butt of his cigarette aside.

The next night, Hinata Tachibana was found dead in her apartment. Sano, finding an excuse, dropped by Takemichi's house, ostensibly to support him.

"What a pity. You were a good couple." — he said it with fake pity, sitting next to him on the couch.
