The Demi-Fiend is seen sleeping on the couch. The world in color. The camera zooming to his face.

They say flowers fade
And their beauty can't be weighed with flowers so fake
It's all because the way things are made, live on lies that fabricate
Antipathy world

The phrase being said in repeat as the screen showed the Demi-Fiend switching back in forth between ren and him before both their eyes shot open. The title showing as it showed an outside view of le blanc.

The scene showed ren, the Demi-Fiend and pixie walking towards the train station.

I'll raise, right away, my umbrella that will shade my body from rain
Now dampened by the pain, can't escape, here my bangs and heart remain
All the trouble I face

The screen then suddenly to black and white with hints of red as the scene showed Ren in his phantom thief outfit and the demi-fiend in his shorts running through a bank of sorts.

Before I knew, it withers way too soon, that one word that rings true
And now, a fruit will bloom in my heart, I can't move
Within the mirror's sight, there's a painting inside
A sign of "makeup" lighting the loss in my life

It then cut to the two drop kicking a shadow sending them flying. The two taking turn attack shadows as the demi-fiend punching his way through and ren flipping through the air slashing any that were in sight.

Pa-rap-pa-ra-pa-pa-ra-pa-pa-pa
Let's play this game where we count the riddles that we made
Tar-ra-ta-ra-tat-ta-ta-ta-ta

It then showed The Demi-Fiend jumping into the air for a super man punch.

Why stay, why stay in this place and dance the night away?

It then showed the phantom thieves running through the streets as a group of shadows chasing them.

I just can't see these simple things I can't keep
What am I supposed to be?
Shaken by the hand of night, it seems, stirring in a dream
Like your love for me (it's leaving, it's leaving)
I would cry and weep without a "bye" as I grieve
Phony, phony, phony

It showed them running past raidou who was in an alley before he walked deeper in.

Still tangled up in lies, I see I'm just a fake, phony
Antipathy world

It then cut back to the real world the group eating at a cafe.

Before I knew, the sky, so very blue, joined an ugly old tune
My colored view of you breaks away what you do
Within the mirror's sight, there, I'm missing inside
There lies a "fake" that's hiding the truth they can't find

The Demi-Fiend then looked into the mirror seeing a vision of his un-demonic self before it cut to the demi-fiend organizing the shelves of untouchable.

I say, why live and stay
Where everybody craves that thing known as love
That will only bring us pain?
I play and swim today as I am left behind in every way by the train
So dance the night away and

It then showed the Demi-fiend running to the train station. Running past Hijiri on the way.

Pa-pa-ra-pa-pa-ra-rap-pap-pa
We meant pretense as we sang with riddles in the end
Ta-rat-ta-ta-tat-ta-ta-ra-ta-ta

It then showed the demi-fiend running past the shinjuku medical hospital. The screen flashing between its destroyed version and untouched version.

Why then, why then does it hurt so much right here again?

It then showed the demi-fiend floating in a void as memories of the past flashed in the back.
