Japan, 1951. Takashiro Shuugo found himself on a train bound for Zushi, a world away from his past life at the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department. The headline on the newspaper in his lap reminded him of the path that had led him here: Ueno Serial Dismemberment Murder Case This bone-chilling case set the wheels in motion for Shuugo's unexpected journey. His former boss had bitten off more than he could chew with the investigation and, knowing their shared history, reached out with a request — "Could you lend me a hand?" For Shuugo, turning a blind eye wasn't an option. He was roped into a case involving the disappearance of a damsel from a high-flying family. At the Kouzuki estate, déjà vu hit him like a ton of bricks when he encountered Kouzuki Kazuna, the spitting image of his former flame, Kouzuki Yura. Kazuna, with fire in her eyes, implored him to unearth the whereabouts of her vanished twin. Yet, a man gravely informs Shuugo, "That girl, in truth, is no longer among the living..." A maze of fiction and reality unravels in Ueno, a town still grappling with the post-war environment. And thus, a new tragedy is set in motion.

One night, out of the blue, he finds himself in a pickle when a frenzied geisha suddenly attacks him on his way home. Despite being battered and bruised, Sousuke manages to weather the storm and makes a hasty exit. The following day at work, Sousuke learns that the geisha has been found murdered, and he is the prime suspect. The news spreads like wildfire, and the bar's owner gives Sousuke the boot, unwilling to risk the bar's reputation by employing a fugitive.

[b]The year is Showa 33—or 1958, by the new calendar.[/b] It is an especially cold January, and amid the dour gray snow, a funeral is being held. A portrait of a girl’s face sits there draped in snow, looking almost embarrassed and a little lonely… The imprisoned painter Shinzo Mamiya died a scant few weeks after the Blessed Congregation’s crimes came to light. Detective Reiji Tokisaka has been recruited by his old friend Maris Stella to help sort through the man’s belongings, but instead they find an unknown work in his studio: a one-winged angel with no arms. The work, which they name Exile Of Paradise, is as beautiful as it is sinister—and it resembles his infamous masterpiece Girl In Shell. A few more days later, a woman’s corpse is found, modified in the manner depicted in Exile. She is identified as having formerly worked with Tomoyuki Masaki. There may be no one left who can cut the chain of obsession that began with Girl In Shell—nobody but one small girl.
