Seemingly out of nowhere - from her desk drawer! - a mysterious "man" appears who calls himself Roid and is the spitting image of Reizi. Roid proceeds to make it his singular mission to protect Mayo from danger while espousing that "justice without power is meaningless." Yet to Roid, words like "love" are unfamiliar as are human anger or grief. Wary at first, Mayo gradually begins to harbor feelings for Roid due to an existential sadness she detects in him amid a world where motives intersect between the present and the future 100 years ahead. What does fate have in store for a woman who has lost love and a man who doesn't understand it?

A woman is found strangled to death in an apartment in Tokyo’s Katsushika Ward.
The victim is Michiko Oshitani, a resident of Shiga Prefecture who worked for a home cleaning company.
What’s more, the occupant of the apartment where the murder took place, Mutsuo Koshikawa, has gone missing.
Matsumiya (Junpei Mizobata) and his fellow detectives of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police’s Investigation Section 1 begin investigating, but hit a brick wall when they fail to find any links between Oshitani and Koshikawa.
Why was Oshitani, who lived in Shiga, killed in Tokyo?
Eventually, the detectives’ inquiries lead them to a theater director named Hiromi Asai (Nanako Matsushima).
They learn that Oshitani came to Tokyo to visit her former classmate Asai, but again come up with nothing when searching for connections between Asai and Koshikawa, and their investigation grinds to a halt.
Matsumiya has a hunch that a charred corpse found nearby the murder scene may have some relevance to the case, and subsequently discovers an item among the victim’s belongings with the names of Nihonbashi’s 12 bridges written on it.
When Kyoichiro Kaga (Hiroshi Abe) learns of this, he is deeply shaken.
It is somehow connected to his mother, who died alone...
