Couple: pure-hearted liquor x Red Piano] Matsuda has a problem. It has been bothering him for over twenty years, and it shows no signs of stopping. The problem is that every day, he and his childhood friend somehow trigger classic scenes from a romance drama. For example, every time Matsuda trips, he falls straight into Hagi's arms. And whenever the two of them play the King Game together, they're always the ones who draw the short straw. Bridal carries, being pushed against the wall, and all that sort of thing are regular punishments for them. Most importantly, their coworkers are looking at them more and more strangely. Sato from the next department even asked when he and Hagi were getting married. What the heck? He and Hagi are just childhood friends! Question: Has Matsuda proven he's straight today? Answer: No. He's getting gayer by the day.

That was his codename. His ability to predict other people's deaths made him as unpopular as his codename suggested. At last, one day, he foresaw the date of his own death. But he realized that events in this world had veered off course: people who should have survived, according to his prophetic dreams, were about to die. To keep his own fate on its predetermined path, he chose to save those people. And so, voices like these began to ring out on the streets of Neon City. "Hey, you're going to get blown up." "You're going to get run over." "You're going to..." Before long, people's opinion of him changed from, "That guy's a lunatic," to, "He's not beyond saving. We have to reform him. He's a good person. We have to keep him alive." Panno, forced to stay alive, could only say: You people on the Red side really love making things up. I'm speechless.
