Synopsis[]
Izaya Orihara is meeting with two young women in a karaoke room to discuss committing suicide together. The women talk about their reasons for dying and what might happen after death. When Izaya reveals that he has no interest in going through with suicide, the women are upset, but Izaya silences them by pointing out that he is blocking the door and has drugged their drinks. The women vow to kill him before falling unconscious, and Izaya, satisfied that they can survive on hate, packs them into suitcases. Celty arrives to help him transport the suitcases to the park, where they leave the women on a bench. Disinterested by the events that have just occurred, Izaya forgets about the women and focuses on his current interests: Celty the courier and the Dollars.
