Summary
The story opens with two men struggling over the possession of a remote, both unseen except for their respective arms.
Rohan Kishibe appears, his right hand in a clutch. He says that although it is good to brag about one's battle scars, he currently isn't in the right mood. Listing the different injuries to his fingers, he explains that he will take four weeks to recover. For once, Rohan regrets his foolish actions in a recent incident, and admits that he only survived because of his luck. These events are Episode 10: The Run.
At a 1 hour and a half ride of the Shinkansen from S-City Station in southwest Morioh to Tokyo Station, then 30 minutes ride either on JR or the subway from Tokyo Station, lies Harajuku. In here, Yoma Hashimoto was scouted by a model production agency. Thanks to his newfound job, he appeared in a magazine and was paid for a minor role. He even saw Go Ayano and Takeru Satoh from a distance. His manager then told him to train his body, as beautiful poses mattered more than talent. Thus Yoma began to seriously exercice at a gym, "impressing" even his own personal trainer. At the end of the session, Yoma developed a narcissistic streak at the sight of his sculpted body.
Later at Yoma's girlfriend's appartment, the man's training had become so invasive his girlfriend, named Mika, would trip on weights lying around. One evening, Mika tripped again. Initially upset, she remarked that Yoma was indeed becoming even more muscular, and fantasized about him starring in a detective movie. However, Yoma's mood was soured when Mika proposed him spaghetti whereas he'd instructed her to only give him proteins. He also cancelled a night's out with Mika's friends, as he'd scheduled a run. Mika suddenly noticed that her wallet was empty, leading Yoma to explain that he took the money to buy proteins. The narcissistic Yoma then heard the bell ring, and argued with the deliveryman for coming late and ruining his sleep schedule since he wanted to go to bed at 7 p.m..
Rohan, who was frequenting the same gym as Yoma, recalls that they became acquaintances here. At one time, Yoma was rebuked by his trainer, who had an appointment with another customer, leaving the young man frustrated. Yoma's obsession grew to the point he stole 270,000 yen from Mika to install a bouldering set all over her appartment and practice. At wit's end, Mika ordered Yoma to leave her home, the latter obliging by climbing down the bouldering set he'd installed even on the facade of the building.
