The previous day, the girl, Hikawa, finds a gold coin, inserts it in the vending machine and meets the young man who gives her the ability to transform her limbs into monster limbs. Repulsed by this she searches for a second coin and sees Claire has one. Shuichi flees with Claire after she pepper sprayed Hikawa. Claire notices Shuichi has a zipper up his spine, but after opening it finds he is hollow, albeit made of flesh, and convinces him to let her climb inside. As she does they become able to sense each other's feelings and memories. Hikawa finds them and attacks. They find that together they are stronger than Hikawa, however, Claire goes too far and savagely beats Hikawa, breaking her leg when she refuses to tell her how to use the coins, then shoots her with the revolver from the costume, killing her and traumatising Shuichi. A week later Shuichi tries to leave but Claire points out they are stronger as a team if other monsters show up. Shuichi wishes to die, so Claire tries to commit suicide again to die with him, but he saves her instead, unable to go through with it. Claire explains she is searching for her sister who became a monster and disappeared after killing their parents. It is shown six months previously a girl decided to use her wish to be with Shuichi, and the decoration on her school bag was the same mascot Shuichi now transforms into.
