A shadow traps Goro and Ryuji in its pocket realm, demanding terrible things in exchange for their lives and possible safe return to the real world. At first, they agree to go through with it, but then things start to spiral out of control as the demands get worse and worse.

Despite all the pain and despair they are forced to face, Goro and Ryuji make a single vow: no matter what comes their way, they will survive it together.
