After that, Keisuke was repeatedly mistreated by Tatsuya’s family who adopted him. Keisuke decides to take a risky gamble to bury Tatsuya from society in order to protect his colleague Shiraishi Makoto whom he is dating. His reunion with Tatsuya is the start of a battle with a new nightmare. As he pretends to search for material to absolve Tatsuya, he ponders whether there is a way to prove Tatsuya’s crime. But Tatsuya is very popular and everyone is unanimous in insisting on his innocence. What is Tatsuya’s objective? And what fate awaits Keisuke?
