<Synopsis
Episode #16 "Penitentiary
Manga artist Rohan Kishibe was visiting Venice, Italy, on a research trip to report on the "Penitentiary" in a church. The confessional is a place where one can confess one's "mistakes" to a priest and purify one's soul. Intrigued by its wisdom, Rohan attempts to experience confession for himself. However, Rohan mistakenly enters the room where the priest should be, and a man enters the confessor's room. Experience creates reality in a work of art. Driven by curiosity, Rohan decides to listen to the man's confession. The man begins to confess a tale of horror.

Episode #09 "The Run
While visiting Harajuku from Toomachi, Hashimoto Yoma is approached by a scout for a modeling production. He begins to work as a model, and is inspired by the production's instruction that "a professional model must train his body," and begins to devote himself to training. Manga artist Rohan Kishibe meets Youma at the gym of the Toou Grand Hotel, and a trivial conversation leads to the start of a game with Youma. The game was to see who could take the emergency stop button and press it faster on a running machine that was accelerating to 25 kilometers per hour. Yoma's body, which shows an unusual obsession with the game, begins to change in certain ways.
