After offering relationship advice at a promotional event, Rio Yazaki decides to dig deeper when she spots a common thread between four of the women.

Focusing on the beautiful sales associate Tomomi Shimahara, Rio Yazaki urges her to lend Ito money even after he neglects her and puts her down.

The Ito described by the second woman Rio consults with is a self-centered, obliviously rude annoyance. Not unlike an up-and-coming writer Rio knows.

Shuko's story connects perfectly with Tomomi's, much to TV producer Tamura's delight, making Rio even more hopeful for her screenplay.

From the outside, pretty and popular Satoko's got the perfect life. But Rio detects a hidden loneliness, and she can't wait to dig deeper.

Feeling insecure over her best friend Miki's relationship, Satoko decides to seduce Ito, putting her friendship in jeopardy.

After getting dumped by Ito, Miki calls up an old friend -- and it's none other than Rio's young rival, Kuzuken. But that's not the only coincidence.

Rio finally finds out who Ito really is, and she's repulsed. Moreover, Ito's written his own script, and it's dangerously similar to hers.
