Intro. In the bustling halls of Sakura High, we meet Zato, a reserved and introspective teenager marked by a distinctive birthmark over his left eye. Despite his gentle nature, Zato is subjected to relentless bullying from his classmates, who mock him for his unique appearance. The episode opens with Zato walking through the crowded corridors, his gaze lowered to avoid the piercing stares and hurtful taunts. Alone in his pain, Zato retreats into the shadows of his mind, battling the overwhelming weight of depression. As the bullying intensifies, Zato's inner turmoil deepens, leaving him feeling increasingly isolated and hopeless. He struggles to find solace, turning to his sketchbook as a means of escape, but even his art fails to provide refuge from the torment of his reality. During a particularly vicious encounter with his tormentors, Zato reaches his breaking point. Consumed by rage and despair, he begins to entertain dark thoughts of retaliation by this voice in his head, his mind clouded by visions of retribution. Meanwhile, Zato's homeroom teacher, Ms. Hana, grows concerned by his increasingly withdrawn behavior. Sensing something is different as Zato battles his inner turmoil, she reaches out to offer support, urging him to confide in her and seek help. Despite Ms. Hana's efforts, Zato remains trapped in a downward spiral of despair, his thoughts consumed by thoughts of revenge. As the tension reaches a boiling point, Zato finds himself standing on the brink of a fateful decision. In a climactic moment, Zato is confronted by his bullies once again, their cruel words pushing him to the edge. With his heart pounding and his mind clouded by darkness, Zato stands poised as the voice in his head is revealed as a demon who offers maximum protection and happiness but in return he wants his soul. As the episode draws to a close, the screen fades to black, leaving viewers on the edge of their seats, wondering what choice Zato will ultimately make and what consequences will follow.
