Successful producer Sasaki meets Lucifer to finalize a contract, marking the debut of Aine Yukimura, a poetry-loving girl indifferent to the entertainment industry. Aine endures constant parental conflict, a lack of affection, and a failing relationship, leaving her questioning the nature of true love. Lucifer, now performing under the name Ʌucifer, struggles to record the debut song, requiring numerous takes to achieve perfection. Frustrated by the delays, irritated staff members engage in a wager with Sakuya. The terms dictate that if the single fails to reach Number 3 on the charts, Ʌucifer must abandon music entirely, placing significant pressure on the young artist's career and personal well-being.
