If she leaves now, it means saying goodbye to Shinpei, the assassin who has saved her life time and time again. Making matters worse, seeing Satoko with Kotaro ignites a fierce jealousy in Shinpei that drives him to challenge Kotaro to an explosive showdown! As the two men clash, the truth behind Satoko’s kidnapper comes to light.
