Ep. 2: A Scar's Shadow
Akira lies on his bed, wondering if last night was a dream or real. When he turns to his right side he sees Shirogane lying beside him, which makes him fall on the floor. Shirogane confirms that it was not a dream and makes advances on him. Akira demands an explanation but Shirogane tells him little, asksing him to trust him on this. Akira decides he still doesn't trust Shirogane completely but accepts the explanation for now. Akira goes to school (Shirogane acts as his shadow, making him visible for humans again) and a Kokuchi appears. In order to save his classmates, Shirogane releases himself from Akira, transforming Akira in a Shin again. They jump from the fifth floor, Akira saying they might die but Shirogane lands perfectly on the ground. The plan is for Akira to distract the enemy while Shirogane closes the hole from which the Kokuchis came from. Akira is about to get stabbed when Shirogane saves him (after sealing the hole) but gets a deep bite from the Kokuchi before finishing it. Shirogane takes Akira to a bar named 'Bar Still" to meet the Master, a blind bartender (who can sense Shin and Kokuchis presence) who is in possession of very strong psychic abilities. The Master heals both of them and tells Akira about the Doppler item which allows Akira to regain his human form without Shirogane being his shadow, which frees Akira from Shirogane's constant flirting.
