As the episode begins, Mamoru is in his typical classroom setting, dozing off and struggling to stay awake during an important lecture. He's had a long day, and his time-stopping powers have taken a toll on him. His friend, Ryota, who is sitting next to him, notices that Mamoru is not paying attention and asks him what's up. When Mamoru doesn't respond, Ryota brushes it off as usual and stops paying attention to Mamoru's sleepiness.
But the next morning, Mamoru wakes up to a series of frantic messages from Ryota. He learns that Ryota was supposed to meet with a stranger from an online chat room in the park the previous night but never arrived. Worried that something bad has happened to Ryota, Mamoru immediately investigates.
Using his time-stopping powers, Mamoru goes back in time to the night before and follows Ryota's footsteps to the park. He discovers that Ryota is actually being held captive by the stranger he had arranged to meet. The man demands a ransom from Ryota's family, threatening to hurt him if they don't pay up.
Faced with this new challenge, Mamoru quickly realizes that he can't take on this situation alone.
