Sousuke Kitamoto spent years of his career producing and directing all kinds of dramas, enough to cement himself as a veteran of the industry. His summertime horror dramas are what made him renowned by many. One day, seven years in the past, Sosuke obtains the rights to film an adaptation to The Gentleman of the Foreign Residence after Rohan Kishibe makes an agreement.↗

Sosuke organizes his crew to arrive at the coastline of a quiet seaside area in Western Japan. Every day is spent shooting inside an abandoned manor left behind by a deceased fisherman. Sosuke has to cut a certain character from the work's live-action TV drama adaptation after the actor playing him is arrested on charges of drug possession. Assistant director Yumeo Obara offers to play the role himself, even designing the character's costume, but is denied the opportunity.↗

Once another scene is recorded, Sosuke witnesses Harato Kunieda harassing a make-up artist along with the growing puddle underneath them. Kunieda collapses from a severe amount of dehydration, causing a mass hysteria on set. Someone in an Orobog costume steps out, causing Sosuke to slip the truth about the character being cut. He proceeds to panic and tries leave everyone behind to save himself only to trip over the body of Kunieda's Manager.↗

Due to nobody dying in the original story, Sosuke survives the attack and gets sent to the hospital in critical condition. The TV Drama is cancelled.↗
