| Kyotaro is a troubled student who fantasizes about murdering his classmates, in particular magazine model and classmate Anna, even carrying a box-cutter for that purpose. By chance he and Anna are alone in the library where he notices the odd behaviour she exhibits, including humming like a monkey. Seeing she needs scissors for her schoolwork he impulsively lends her his box-cutter, leaving him without his weapon. He finds the box-cutter in his desk later, surprising him she knew which desk was his. He begins to notice more odd behaviour, which somehow tempts him to secretly offer help. They accidentally interrupt a classmates love confession and Kyotaro is forced by Anna to make cat noises to conceal their eavesdropping. Kyotaro is baffled by his continuing to help her. Later he spots Anna in a shop blatantly trying to get noticed as the model on the magazines, which makes him embarrassed on her behalf. On impulse he buys the magazine and it is implied he uses it to masturbate. The next day he spots a classmate harassing Anna and impulsively speeds his bike into the river as a distraction. Anna correctly deduces he did it to help, which makes her happy. | |||||
