Megumi is a doctor by profession and the girlfriend of boxer Shun Hagino. With her support, he made his comeback. Megumi cared for him and slowly rebuilt him. However, during a training session, Hagino is shot and Megumi has to watch her friend die in her arms. Megumi knows who is behind the attack on Shun and assigns Ryo to the case.
Her boyfriend's death has left a painful wound and she appears to be numbing her grief with pills and alcohol. The only thought she has is revenge. Ryo doesn't want Megumi to do something she would regret later. But she has her reasons and sticks to them. In addition, she is running out of time because she is suffering from cancer. To pay Ryo and Hideyuki, she gave Hideyuki her insurance policy. In other words, she “pays” with her own life.
Manga[]
The plot is generally the same, but with some differences:
- There's no scene of Ryo Saeba glaring at tennis girls.
- Megumi doesn't drink alcohol to ease her pain.
- Ryo doesn't visit Megumi at hospital and he doesn't discuss job details after sneaking to Megumi's apartment. Instead of that, Ryo meets Megumi in a coffee shop, where Ryo simulates stomachache, attracting Megumi's attention. He tries to grope her there, and gets a punch to his face from Megumi. Ryo tells her that his face will need treatment, like her boyfriend Ogino, and Megumi understands, that Ryo is that sweeper she hired. They discuss job details standing together on a pedestrian bridge.
- Ryo doesn't make any special bullet for Inagaki.
- Ryo doesn't visit Megumi at her apartment again. Instead, Megumi just receives an envelope with a ticket to the match from Ryo (probably by mail).
