Maya participates in paid meetings with older men in exchange for gifts and, along with Keiko, tries to encourage her friend Eri to join this world too. When Eri arranges a meeting with a man, Maya shows up beforehand to steal him, and it is soon discovered that he was murdered. Observing these events, Misa, who had transferred to the same school, begins to take action to investigate this problem.

Kazue shows her friends that an orange stain appeared in a photo with them, including Misa. It seems strange, but Misa initially doesn't notice anything wrong. When Kazue mysteriously dies and a new stain appears in Yukari's photo, Misa is sure that something very sinister is happening around her and her friends.

With her powers partially sealed, Misa faces difficulties in finding those responsible for the murders occurring within the group of girls. But when she identifies the magic pattern being formed, she manages to get closer to the one responsible for all the cruelty.

(*Due to the themes represented in this arc, the series was allegedly canceled on TV Tokyo, the original broadcaster, following a mass murder crime involving teenagers that received significant media attention in Kobe at the time. Subsequent episodes were only aired on TV Osaka and its affiliates.)
