She previously criticized Dr. Sanada for being ill-suited for his profession, while he once suggested that she was not mentally ill. In the present, Azusa lives in Los Angeles as a prostitute under precarious circumstances. She is currently accused of committing a murder, and her memories are once again centered on a fire. Dr. Sanada is tasked with assessing her condition in the presence of an investigator who does not appear to understand the Japanese language.
