Synopsis[]

Housing Authority employee Yoko was escorted home by her superior, Shimizu, and returned to her apartment. Shimizu persistently inquired about their missing colleague, Yamamoto, when suddenly a phosphorescent object attacked.

Shimizu eerily illuminated before succumbing. Maki suggests the appearance of a phosphorescent human, but the Metropolitan Police Department concludes a crime involving sulfur dioxide gas and proceeds with the investigation. Subsequently, Yoko's fiancé is also approached by the same entity...
