Kyousuke has been arrested. Hagiwara Sakutarou, Nomura Kodou, and the others gather at the "milk hall," a small cafe serving European beverages and foods, to try to discover the truth of the situation. Each of the literary men unveil their deductions. Natsume Souseki introduces Akutagawa Ryuunosuke who also participates in the puzzle solving, but none of them come up with a deciding theory. As they ponder, a boy named Hirai Tarou steps forward. Hirai tells them that everything started two nights ago...
"Just once before I die, I want 
to be with the man I love."
".قُبيل أن أموت، أريد أن أكون مع الرّجل الذي أحبُّه"
Vor meinem Tod möchte ich wenigstens noch einmal
den Mann, den ich liebe, in meinen Armen halten.
Otaki souhaitait être étreinte
par son bien-aimé avant de mourir,
"Prima di morire voglio essere posseduta
dall'uomo che amo, anche solo per una volta."
"Uma só vez, antes de morrer, quero
ficar com o homem que eu amo."
«Перед тем, как умру,
я хотела бы быть с любимым».
