Features: Invited by Michihara, a friend of Yoko's university classmate, the three sisters and Kotoyuki went to attend Hikone's engagement party. Forced into an engagement, Hikone planned to run away with her lover that night and asked Yoko for help. Unbeknownst, on the way to escape, Hikone twisted her ankle and had to ask Yoko to rush to the train station to notify her boyfriend. By chance, Yoko mistook the wanted murderer Kiyoshi for Hikone's boyfriend on the train. Kiyoshi tricked Yoko into fleeing with him and planned to take them both down with him. Hikone's double, Misaki, was strangled to death in the party lounge. Hikone's fiancé, Makita, was shot by a mysterious sniper. Michihara's secretary—Hikone's stepmother's lover, Kazeno—was hanged in the company's database. Yoriko eavesdropped on Michihara's company's mysterious "midnight meeting," only to be discovered by Michihara and his thugs. Hikone's lover, Ichikawa, drugged Misaki and Hikone, and kidnapped them to the railway crossing. The rumbling train crashed into the small truck where Hikone was tied up.
