Synopsis
The episode begins with Celty Sturluston driving her motorcycle. Elsewhere at Raika academy everyone is looking at Seiji and Mika talking about their love. Masaomi on the roof groans about feeling jealous whenever he sees them. Mikado tells Masaomi to stop looking at the couple, but Masaomi starts hitting on Anri instead. Mikado then accidentally confesses that he thinks that Anri is cute. Elsewhere Celty is being chased by the police. One of the police officers was Kinnosuke Kuzuhara. Eventually Celty gets cornered by the police and Kuzuhara tells her that she as a monster should not mess with the law. Some time later Shinra opens the door for Celty. Frightened, she hugs Shinra, and tells him about her cop chase, promising to be more careful from now on. Shinra, after hearing the story, apologises to Celty for making a sexual innuendo, and tells her a job that he needs her to do. It was to pick up his father. Celty was then driving and saying that Shingen has been messing with her since they met. Elsewhere Horada and his crew where harassing Shingen. They ask why was he wearing a gas mask,and his reply was that Japan's air was flithy,and so where their faces. Horada then stabs Shingen with his thumb when Celty drove in the fire. Celty then scared the guys away by her shadows. When they were running away Shingen was yelling about the power of the adults. Elsewhere Namie walks in Izaya's office. She sees that he wasn't there. She notices a strange board on his table, it had of shogi piece,a chess knight and a chinese board game piece, Namie sighs wondering how Izaya plays his board games. Izaya was seen walking when he ran into Simon. Simon asks Izaya if he wanted sushi and he said no. Simon then tells Izaya in Russian that he couldn't keep it a secret for long. Izaya laughed and walked away. Elsewhere, the three highschoolers were walking home. Anri wonders about how she depended on Harima Mika and now on Masaomi and Mikado, while she was thinking, Masaomi was trying to get Mikado to list Anri's qualities, Mikado blushed and refused. After Anri finished her monologue, Masaomi decided to pick up girls and insisted that Anri and Mikado come along.

It turned out that when Kida (Masaomi) ran off, expecting the other two to follow them, Mikado and Anri did not and they then walk in a path near a park, presumably the way home for both of them. Anri keeps on thinking that she depends on the boys. She asks Mikado if it was okay to leave Kida like that, Mikado laughed and said that even if they didn't come along Kida would do it anyway. Anri laughed softly, noticing this Mikado blushed and tentatively told Anri that the sunset was pretty. Anri did not reply. After a short moment of walking, she abruptly turned to Mikado and told him that she was going to go home. Mikado watched her leave, and muttered that he wasn't a smooth talker after all.

Anri then walked home briskly, but the three bullies with fake angel wings on their backs that teased her earlier in the series stopped he by kicking her 'lightly', they then teased her saying that Anri really was a pinworm, 'whoring' herself to Harima Mika and then Mikado and Masaomi. Anri listened to their talk, telling herself that it was all true. One of the bullies got frustrated she didn't answer and asked her friend if Pinworms didn't have mouths. Anri began to hear snippets of their teasing while she was saying in her mind that nothing changes, nothing happens, this is her-refering to Anri-. daily life. "You smell, Pinworm, quit coming to school!"

After a while she notices red eyes behind the girl. Her breath quickens but she keeps on telling herself that this was her daily life, nothing changes, nothing happens. The red eyes belonged to the slasher, the three bullies got slashed, even as this happened, and Anri was horrified, she still kept thinking that this was her daily life, nothing happens, nothing changes.
