Takuboku collapsed after coughing up blood. Kayo brings him a client named Tamaki. Takuboku turns down the request once, but fascinated by Tamaki's perspective on life and death, and androgynous charm, he takes the case. Tamaki had a deep connection to the "bat-man," the acrobat, Kagami, but, because of the accident that caused Kagami's death, Tamaki is now being threatened by Kagami's younger brother. Meanwhile, Kyousuke can't restrain his anxiety for Takuboku who is writing poems that smell of death.
He seemed to be staring at the water 
with a troubled expression.
بدا أنّه يتأمّل المياه بتعابير مضطربة
Er soll mit einem gequälten Gesichtsausdruck
aufs Wasser gestarrt haben.
Dijeron que estaba mirando hacia el río
con expresión sombría.
Dijeron que estaba mirando hacia el río
con expresión sombría.
Apparemment, il scrutait la rivière
avec un air sombre.
Sembra guardasse immobile
la superficie del fiume con espressione tormentata.
Ele ficou contemplando a água perturbado.
Он смотрел на воду с озабоченным лицом.
