    Summary

    Years 1997, 1998. Some wounds do not come from devils. Some cages do not have bars, because they exist in one's head. The hardest part of being a devil hunter is watching the person you know suffer from things outside your control that can not be killed with a contract. Does the uselessness feel familiar?

    What would you do if you were given a second chance? Would your life change for the better or worse?

    Four months have passed since Kobeni stabbed Aki. While he was recovering, Kobeni quit her job. After he is sent to investigate the reports of an alleged devil lurking in the infamous Red District, Aki finds out that his former coworker was sold off into a prostitution ring. He spirals into obsession, chasing what he can not have while pushing away what he has. Both of them realize that the real danger is much worse than a simple devil. A very powerful one threatens to rip the reality apart. Kobeni makes her choice: she will not die as a coward, and she will not accept the life she does not deserve. And their growing feelings start to get in the way.
