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.
