Events take place shortly after Takemichi and Mikey met, July 2005

Typical day in late July. The holidays started not long ago. The smell of ajisai spreads across Shibuya, the asphalt is hot from the sun. Mikey walked along one of the streets with his hands in his pockets and a relaxed gait. His eyes are half-lidded, and there is a lazy smile on his face, like a cat's. There was a mint candy on his tongue - the perfect sweet for such a heat - and in his head he had plans for the week: he was going to go to Mitsuya, as he was sewing up his biker jacket, take Emma to the cinema, go to the beach with Baji, and of course have a good time fight in the company of the faithful Draken.

Walking past another gateway, Mikey heard suspicious sounds. His curiosity got the better of him, and he carefully peeked around the corner.
