Xiang Ying has a recurring dream in which she is a child and cannot find Ryo. Ryo suggests that she tells Doc about it when she goes for her periodic physical check-up. When she arrives, Doc mistakes her for Kaori because of her similar manner. While waiting for Ryo, Xiang Ying drifts off again and experiences visions from Kaori's past where Kaori goes to Ryo's aid. She then sees Kaori at home with her brother Hideyuki Makimura, a police detective, who criticizes her for pursuing a nursing job. Then, she sees an injured Ryo whom Hideyuki insists is a "stray dog" who should be handed over to the police as all his identity documents are fake, but Kaori argues that he is a patient. That night, Ryo, fearing that he will be arrested, prepares to kill Kaori when he thinks she notices that he has regained consciousness.
Xiang-Ying fait souvent le même rêve : elle revit la première rencontre de Ryô et Kaori.
Ryô, laissé pour mort dans une ruelle de Shinjuku par celui qui l'a abattu, est recueilli par Kaori, alors apprentie infirmière chez le Doc. Xiang-Ying observe Kaori en rêve alors qu'elle le conduit à la clinique pour le soigner, mais Ryô, dont tous les papiers d'identité sont faux, attire l'attention de Hideyuki, le frère de Kaori, qui souhaite l'arrêter.
Xiang Ying rivive in un sogno il primo incontro tra Ryo e Kaori e viene a conoscenza del passato dei fratelli Makimura.
