Dolce, and His Master
Masago decides to take Dolce along with a woman on a yacht ride, but they end up crashing into a rock and get stranded in the middle of the ocean. The girl had died by drowning after the impact but Masago managed to recover her body. Six days later, Dolce is chasing flies on her corpse. He spots a bottle of mineral water and desperately tries to open it but breaks two of his claws when he punctures the bottle.↗↗
Masago climbs up the mast trying to lure Dolce down with a water bottle, secretly carrying a knife behind him, but Dolce doesn't move. Masago decides to make it a contest of endurance. Dolce eventually falls asleep but when he wakes up, Masago had disappeared. Dolce climbs back down and notices Masago's hand and a knife hiding underneath some planks. However, he is suddenly surprise attacked by Masago from behind him and gets a rope wrapped around his neck.↗
Later on, a rescue helicopter arrives at the scene, but there appears to be no one on the yacht. A flock of seagulls flies by, and one of the pilots sees Dolce riding one of the birds into the distance but assumes it was his imagination.↗↗
