The episode begins with a woman being told by her doctor that she must receive
an operation or risk death. She responds by saying that she cannot afford it and leaves.
As she walks home, she hears the public whisper that Lil’ Slugger has become more of a
monster now than a man. The woman arrives home to see Lil’ Slugger waiting for her.
She confesses that she did at one point wish to die, but now will not go through with it as
she feels that she would betray her husband, Ikari Keiichi. It turns out that this woman is
his wife, Misae. The audience sees that Ikari is now working as a security guard.
Throughout this episode, there are numerous short scenes that describe how far Ikari has
sunk since he left his job at the police station.
