Near Dark.On the surface, things appear to have calmed down at the academy, but among the students there are deep physical and psychological scars that have not yet healed. Yuki comes into the office to show her draft of the student council officer invitation, observing Mina's two-sided personality as both selfless and selfish. Meanwhile, Mei Ren pulls Akira over her onto the floor of a classroom, where the latter sees her wearing a replicated necklace, as the original belongs to someone special to her. After Yuki scurries to the classroom to pick up her notebook, she returns back into the office, only to find that Mina is reading her diary. Though Mina apologizes for reading it, she is quite intrigued for what Yuki wrote. Mina also apologizes for lying about the ring Yuki gave to Akira, admitting her envy toward Yuki. Elsewhere, Veratos saves a young boy named Yuzuru from a rogue vampire who self-destructs and learns that Yuzuru is searching for Nanami inside the Vampire Bund. Mina and Akira later find Nanami and proceed to chase after her. Stopping in a forest, Akira and Mina are introduced to Hysterica who quickly surrounds them with her vampire minions. Nanami escapes after preventing Mina from attacking Hysterica, however Veratos shows up and engages in a battle against Hysterica with the two speaking of their past. Yuzuru sneaks away from Yuki to find Nanami who is overwhelmed by her feelings for him and pleading to Mina for her death. Hysterica suddenly bashes Yuzuru aside and takes Nanami making her escape leaving Mina, Akira, and Veratos to wonder what she is planning to do to the human race.
