Terminally ill Himari Takakura is healed by a magic penguin hat, to the joy of her brothers Kanba and Shoma... then they learn the terms of her revival.
Shoma invites Ringo to his house, and tells her everything outright. This leads to Ringo disposing of Himari's hat, and Kanba starts a desperate search to get it back.
When Kanba is summoned to a meeting with several of his ex-girlfriends, they are attacked by a mysterious sniper. Meanwhile, Shoma helps Ringo move to her new home under Tabuki's apartment.
With Ringo's planned 'first-night' with Tabuki failing to eventuate, the destiny she had desired seems to be slipping away from her. In a last ditch effort to bring 'Project M' to fruition, she concocts a cunning plan.
Shoma is visited by Ringo and his siblings as he recovers in hospital. After he is kidnapped by Masako, Kanba's attempt to rescue him leads him into a surreal labyrinth.
When Shouma leaves Ringo distraught by deciding the two should not see each other anymore, Yuri offers to help her get over him with a visit to a hot-spring resort.
After a battle with Yuri, Masako thinks back to her life - the tyrannical tycoon grandfather who raised her, and the numerous murders she attempted to be rid of him.
