A criminal is murdered by Toshiya Kase, an assassin disguised as him. Kase then heads to Hotel Inhumans. After making arrangements for Kase's stay, Ikuro expresses his frustration at serving assassins, who he believes are villains, though Sara points out that assassins have various reasons for killing others and at the end of the day, are still their guests. Meanwhile, Kase reflects on how he is obsessed with the "perfect kill" and has perfectly planned out all aspects of his life except when it comes to his wife Asami, who is the one person he cannot read. After learning about Kase's bewilderment at his wife's habits, Ikuro begins to show a more caring side to him. Later, Kase kills a drug dealer named Kenji Shimamoto while dressed like him, but upon leaving, he comes across Asami, which throws his entire plan off. Fortunately, Asami doesn't recognize him, but the meeting distracts Kase enough that he fails to spot another assassin who mortally wounds him, thinking he is Shimamoto.

At the conclusion of the funeral, Sara intercepts a hitman sent by Shimamoto's organization to kill Asami, believing she was involved in Shimamoto's death. Sara clears up the misunderstanding by explaining Asami's was there by pure coincidence. Meanwhile, Ikuro speaks to Asami about Kase's death, and she asks what he was like on the day that he died. Ikuro recalls that Kase's last words were to plead to him and Sara to protect Asami, since a nearby security camera could implicate her in Shimamoto's death. Ikuro tells Asami that she was the one person who could break Kase's stoic nature, and she admits she enjoyed trying to force a reaction out of him. Ikuro then delivers Kase's final letter to Asami, which reveals that he truly did love her. The next day, Sara asks Ikuro if he thinks Kase is special, and thinking back upon how happy Kase looked talking about Asami, he concludes that even if hitmen are criminals, they are still capable of falling in love. | |||||
