A year after joining the Port Mafia, 16-year-old Chūya has now made a name in the organization managing a gemstone black market. For his one-year anniversary in the Mafia, Chūya is surprised by his friends, the Flags, who hand him a photograph of him as an ordinary
child after going behind Ōgai Mori's back to uncover Chūya's background. They hold a party at a
bar where they are sneaked upon by
Adam, who asks Chūya to cooperate in an investigation involving the assassin Paul Verlaine, whom
Adam believes wishes to harm Chūya. When the
boy refuses,
Adam kidnaps him to the Flags' amusement and tries to convince him elsewhere.
Chūya soon escapes from him, only to be caught by Verlaine who reveals having slayed the Flags moments ago during Chūya's absence. The assassin says he wishes to kill everyone associated with Chūya and partially opens the Gate within the
boy, causing
gravity to go haywire and unleash Arahabaki's flames, until Osamu Dazai arrives to nullify it. He then takes Chūya to the
bar, where he witnesses his friends' corpses
