Long Summary
Sayaka speaks in front of her group, telling them that they are collecting the coins to negotiate with the Alien in ending this sully game and then introduces a new member, Clair who is in Shuichi's body.

Few days earlier, Clair calls Ikeuchi, taking his number from Sudo and telling him that she knows he was being blackmailed by Sudo. She then sends him a picture of Sudo's body and explains she wants to join their group. Shuichi wonders if she told them about Tadanori, but she didn't as Tadanori told her he will help her and Shuichi, but not some other strangers. Clair wants to team up with Ikeuchi's group for information and guesses her sister also has a group and is somewhere in the mountain.

Back in the present, Sayaka tells Clair to turn to normal human as they need to make a pact or she won't be able to join them. Clair agrees, but states that only she will make the pact as she doesn't have a secret to hide. She comes out of Shuichi and explains that he is the collector and that if they are trustworthy, she will also take the pact. Sayaka and Clair go to a different room and on their way, Clair comments that some don't change when they transforms as Sayaka and some others were wearing masks to hide their faces. Sayaka states that a man wasn't hiding it and Clair guesses that his transformation and he must be some ugly one in real life turning into handsome one. Entering the room, Sayaka tells Clair that she has the power to make people keep secrets and takes off her mask. Clair wonders how can she be sure that their secret is safe and if Ikeuchi haven't told her everything about them, but Sayaka says that since he is alive, he haven't said anything. Sayaka wonders why a normal human would be collecting coins and Clair shows picture of her sister, saying that she is a monster and had killed her parents. Sayaka recognizes that's Elena and tells Clair she will tell her more about her if she makes the pact. As Clair agrees, she wonders why Sayaka look like a human and Sayaka explains that she was in love relationship with a teacher, but having morale and being bothered, the teacher left her. As she shared that with a friend, the friend made it public and the teacher killed herself.

Meanwhile, Chihiro approaches Shuichi and asks him if she can pet him and he agrees. As she does, she tells him that he is a kind person as she can read understand animal feelings. As its been a while, Shuichi wonders what happened with Clair, but Chihiro tells him she can't reveal a friends secret, but can talk about herself. Shuichi asks her why she decided to gather coins. She explains she isn't interested in the powers the Alien offers, but if those were to end in the wrong person, she worries about her family and friends. Since Shuichi had mentioned he has good sense of smell, Chihiro wonders if he can find her wallet as she dropped it in the mountain and worries that a bad person can find it.

They go out looking for her wallet, but soon Chihiro stops him as she comments that even transformed she doesn't have much stamina. Shuichi is surprised she is currently transformed and Chihiro decides to take of her helmet asking him not to laugh. As she does, she reveals that she has animal ears and explains that she wanted to be a vet and understand animals, but never wanted to be one herself. Shuichi explains that he will be able to find her wallet alone and her scent also throws him off. Chihiro then suggest that she enter inside of him and that way her scent won't get in his way and she won't be slowing him down either. He tells her they can't as her clothes will get dirty and Chihiro decides to take then off and then enters Shuichi. Ikeuchi secretly watches them and is annoyed that Chihiro did that.

Sayaka gives Clair a choker woven from her hair and explains that she needs to wrap it around her neck and it will soon meld and no one would be able to see it. If ever Clair reveals their secrets or feels that she betrayed them, the choker will respond to her feelings and cut her head off. Her transformation and power is different than the rest, because she listened to what the Alien was saying and had clear image on what she wants.

Shuichi wants to hide Chihiro's clothes and sees her panties and realizes she is naked inside of him. She explains he said that her clothes would get dirty and that she can feel he is happy about it. Elsewhere, Subaru picks up Chihiro's wallet and feels lucky.
