Sakuya composes melodies for two competing singles by Aine, one for e.MU and the other for Ʌucifer, with the chart-topping band after two weeks earning a concert slot. e.MU launches heavy promotion while Ʌucifer relies on none, initially leading the charts. However, persistent radio requests for the Ʌucifer track eventually drive its sales higher than e.MU's. Sakuya reveals his composition was inspired by thoughts of his lover being hurt. Daisuke, the leader of e.MU, congratulates Sakuya on the victory. Sasaki expresses happiness, noting his goal was to promote Ʌucifer. Later, Aine runs into the road without looking. Sakuya pushes her to safety but is struck by a truck.
