Ruby’s transformation
Half a year has passed since the MV shooting, and B Komachi, Akane, and Aqua are steadily expanding their range of activities. One day, Ruby brought Aqua’s proposal and appeared on a network TV variety show where Aqua regularly appears. Aqua is surprised to see her sister’s behavior different from before, but that’s no surprise. Ruby asks Ichigo Saito, the former president of Ichigo Productions, about how to rise in the entertainment world. . Her purpose, of course, is to find the culprit who stole her loved one.
While Ruby is successfully promoting her twin character, her variety show comes under fire while covering a cosplay special. A cosplayer who was interviewed leaked the actions of the staff who lacked respect.
The broadcast has been canceled, and the director in charge of her has decided to leave the show… But Ruby is taking advantage of the situation, which is attracting attention due to the controversy. She prepares a plan for recovery and successfully calms down the situation. However, Aqua is unable to hide her confusion when she sees that Ruby is no longer as pure as before, and begins to lie and take advantage of Ruby in order to sell herself.
Fatal mistake
Aqua discovers that Ichigo is behind Ruby’s progress and reunites with him. Like Ruby, Aqua tells Ichigo, who is bent on revenge, that “the man who killed Ai is no longer in this world,” but Ichigo laughs at Aqua’s words and dismisses her. They point out inconsistencies in the timeline and the possibility that the mother had a child with a man other than her husband.
Aqua is extremely upset when she learns that her revenge is not complete. As the rain poured down, he felt discouraged.
Akane finds the “true culprit”
Akane continues to make great strides, winning the New Actor Award at the Japan Film Awards. One day, he learns of the existence of Hikaru Kamiki, an alumnus of Lalalai who is one of the best actors, and when he casually watches past footage, he is shocked. Because Kamiki was too similar to Aqua. Utilizing his innate ability to analyze and think, Akane continues to investigate, and becomes convinced that Kamiki is the “true culprit.” However, at the same time, it turns out that since Kamiki was a minor at the time of the incident, he will not be sentenced to prison.
Akane tries to “talk” with Kamiki alone without telling Aqua the truth. Aqua then appears and reveals that she was wearing a GPS the whole time (she was using it because she thought Akane would find out the real culprit). Aqua is trying to take revenge on her own, and Akane, as his lover, wants her to share his desire for revenge. The two people’s opinions run parallel, and in the end they part ways.
Aqua decides to let go of normal happiness and pursues a path of revenge from which there is no turning back. In his eyes, a black star shined brighter than ever before.
