Though suspicious, Ogami agrees to carry out the fake kidnapping for the large sum of money involved. On the day of the planned abduction, Mio suddenly vanishes into a hideout. That night, Ogami makes a threatening phone call to her home, only to hear a man who sounds like her father say, "My daughter is right here in front of me." Ogami is left stunned, unable to comprehend what has happened. Several days later, Ogami unexpectedly encounters the girl he was supposed to have kidnapped. At that moment, he realizes the kidnapping was real—and begins a new, desperate course of action.
