After a terrorist attack, Shintaro wakes in an unfamiliar room where Ene teases him into undressing before Marry interrupts. Punished by being chained, Shintaro learns he and Ene are now Mekakushi Dan members. The group plans to visit an amusement park, but Shintaro leaves the headquarters. Outside, he meets Konoha, who is searching for Hiyori and Hibiya. Meanwhile, the gang travels to the grave of their founder, who died by suicide two years ago. Konoha asks Shintaro for help spotting his missing friends. When kidnappers appear, Shintaro uses his strength to save Hiyori and Hibiya, but a truck threatens them. A Heat Haze path opens, swallowing the four. At the grave, Ene discovers the founder is Shintaro’s deceased best friend, Ayano.
