As the cherry blossoms bloom, so does Otsuka's fascination with a heroic masked man who appeared to her within a strange dream.

Within the Contractor underground, intrigue and murder surround a stolen chemical. When the pages of Otsuka's work reveal details that point to the coveted substance, BK201 might be forced to write the final chapter of the young author's tale.
