Kaoru's partner turns out to be a bear, who betrays and kills her. Meanwhile, as Kureha looks after an injured Ginko, she has a strange vision about her, which leads her to recall having a friend that she had completely forgotten about. Kureha tries asking Yurika about it, learning that this friend is the one who inspired Reia's book. Meanwhile, Ginko recalls her past, in which she was an orphaned cub who was drafted into a war against the humans. After being critically injured by a gunshot and abandoned by her fellow bears, she was rescued by a young Kureha, who she called Lady Kumaria, a name also used in Reia's book. As Kureha comes to realise that Ginko was her friend that she had forgotten about, Lulu finds a threatening letter addressed to Ginko describing what crime she had committed.
