However, just after Mami confessed to him that she had a stalker, he received a terrifying phone call saying, “Ka-kun, help me!” Kakeru felt he had to protect her, and they finally got engaged, but Mami suddenly disappeared. While visiting her parents, friends, colleagues and past lovers to find her whereabouts, Kakeru discovered her past and lies he didn’t want to know. [© Far East Films]
