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.
After all, I was simply 
passing on my way home,
فأساساً، أنا مجرّد عابر سبيل
،في طريقي إلى المنزل
Ich bin immerhin nur auf dem Rückweg
hier vorbeigekommen,
Simplemente pasaba por aquí
de camino a casa,
Simplemente pasaba por aquí
de camino a casa,
La preuve, alors que j’étais seulement
sur le chemin du retour,
Infatti,
Afinal, eu só estava de
passagem para casa,
Я всего лишь возвращаюсь домой,
