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.
Just because I was a little ill, 
you want me to lie around forever?
فقط لأنّني كنتُ مريضاً قليلاً، تريدونني
أن أستلقي للأبد؟
¿Acaso esperabas
que me pasara la vida en la cama?
¿Acaso esperabas
que me pasara la vida en la cama?
Je n’allais pas rester au lit
pour une petite indisposition.
Mi stai dicendo di starmene sempre a letto
solo perché non sto molto bene?
Quer que eu fique de cama para
sempre só porque adoeci um pouco?
У меня лёгкое недомогание, а ты хочешь,
чтобы я вечно валялся в постели?
