Paparazzi surround the hotel, allowing Ʌucifer members to extract Aine without detection. Sakuya and Aine become separated, causing difficulties in composing the final track. Ralph exploits Sakuya’s history to undermine him, while Kudo from the band Radical shares gossip with the media. This negative publicity damages Ʌucifer’s reputation, leading stores to cut orders for the new singles. To counter the bad press, Yumi invites Ʌucifer to appear on her radio show. During the broadcast, Aine finds inspiration for the final song and completes the lyrics for "Plasmagic".
