Part 1
Bakin watches Rohan work on his manga, Pink Dark Boy, in his office, when Kyoka enters. She compliments Rohan's Drip Painting] Style, before proceeding to critique it due to Rohan's methodical approach of aiming his ink drops. She offers him some of her drink, but fakes spilling it on his art to attempt to startle him. Kyoka soon notices that Rohan is crying. Believing his story to have a happy ending, she is left confused by his behavior. Rohan then explains "Episode 11", a story about the time he was invited to interview at the home of a "decent person". In spite of sharing stories to encourage and give hope to the audience, he warns that there is no positivity in the chapter, and to be prepared for the episode.

Mitsuki Murase, a 37 year old woman, is in the middle of having an affair when she notices how late it had gotten and leaves the hotel. Her lover asks to give her a ride home, but she refuses his offer and heads for her car in the parking garage. Still anxious about her unfaithful act, she opens her car door and accidentally hits the SUV next to her, leaving a dent. Looking at her torn stockings, she panics further as she doesn't have time to buy a new pair and fears her husband's reaction, as she worries that he may already suspect her adulteress actions, regretting that she went all the way over to the next town, thinking he may check the records on her GPS. She takes the wedding ring out of her purse and returns it to her finger, as she takes a deep breath in hopes to relax herself.

On her way home, she gets caught in a traffic jam. Taking a detour through the mountains, she receives a call on her phone from her husband. She answers it and her husband is relieved, seeing that everyone had been trying to reach her for an hour. He tells her that their daughter, Emma, had been crying because her kindergarten closed and no one came to pick her up, as Mitsuki was the one with the car. She lies, saying that she had lost track of time and ended up caught in traffic due to a roadblock. Mitsuki's husband's suspicions rise, seeing that he has never seen a roadblock in their neighborhood before. In spite of being 20 to 30 minutes away from her daughter's school, Mitsuki lies and tells her husband she'll pick her up in 5 minutes.
