The Uchikutei theater burns down following a performance, leaving Yakumo severely burned but alive.

Meanwhile, Konatsu experiences a significant personal transformation. These events mark a turning point for the characters involved, as they confront the fragility of their craft and the resilience required to preserve it for future generations.
