After aiding the legendary vampire Kiss‑shot Acerola‑Orion Heart‑Under‑Blade"s revival, Koyomi Araragi has become a vampire himself and now serves her. Kiss‑shot is confident she can restore him to humanity, but only after regaining full power.
Araragi has tracked down the three hunters who slew Kiss‑shot and reclaimed her severed limbs to restore her strength. Though the hunters' win seemed inevitable, his survival unsettles him. Yet, as he nears the goal he has pursued all this time, he must question whether this is truly what he desires. Bringing back such a potent immortal could unleash unpredictable consequences, and there may be no way to stop her.
Still, the plot holds mysteries Araragi cannot yet grasp. If a newborn vampire like him can defeat those hunters, how did they overpower Kiss‑shot? Can he rely on her to return him to human form? And how could this even happen?
Araragi feels a chill as the night deepens, and doubts creep in. He is at his breaking point and must decide, but resolving the dilemma may force him to act in a way he will later regret.
