Alice & Zoroku

In a deep, remote forest, a blond-haired girl runs amidst heavy rain and wind. Some pursue her, while others extend a hand to help her. As various motives tangle together, the girl, named Sana, makes her flight to the outside world for the first time in her life. In the end, Sana arrives at the bustling district of Kabukicho in Tokyo's Shinjuku Ward. In a convenience store there, she meets Kashimura Zoroku, the quintessential "stubborn old man."

Since Sana had nowhere to go, Zoroku decided to let her stay in his own home for the time being. After he finds out that the previous day's incident isn't being covered by any media, he makes a call to an old friend. Meanwhile, Sana awakens to find Zoroku's granddaughter, Sanae, watching over her. Sanae says her grandpa asked her to keep an eye on Sana while he went to work. Sana was untrusting at first, but they eventually warm up to each other. Then Sana recalls her time spent at the research facility...

Kashimura Floral is in an uproar after Sana uses her Dream of Alice, suddenly landing herself and Sanae in the shop. Even after things quiet down, Zoroku scolds Sana for breaking her promise not to use her power. Then Naito, an old acquaintance of Zoroku's, enters the scene with a proposal for Zoroku. Meanwhile, Kito and his team in pursuit of Sana are steadily closing in...
