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.
You all look like drowned rats. 
What have you been doing?
تبدون كجرذان مُبتلّة. ماذا كنتم تفعلون؟
Was macht ihr alle versammelt
und durchnässt denn hier?
¿Qué hacían? Parecen ratas mojadas.
¿Qué hacíais? Parecéis ratas mojadas.
Comment se fait-il que
vous soyez tous trempés jusqu’aux os ?
Che ci fate tutti insieme, bagnati fino al midollo?
Todos vocês parecem ratos
afogados. O que andaram fazendo?
Вы как мокрые мыши. 
Что происходит?
