Standing on the deck, Tsubaki-hime laments she is now an orphan. {Tsubaki-hime: "Why does everyone important to me leave?" Hisoka: "Like... Irene?"} Hisoka has learned of Irene earlier, when Tsubaki-hime synchronizes with him in her dream. Tsubaki-hime explains that Irene used to be her only friend. Because of her father's work, she stayed in Hong Kong for a period of time. Irene was her neighbor and eventually became her friend. When they had to go back to Japan, Tsubaki-hime's father invited Irene to come with them. However, Irene suddenly disappeared.

{Tsubaki-hime: "Azumi, even if it's only from now to when we reach Hong Kong, will you stay with me always?"
Hisoka: "Azumi is not my real name."
Tsubaki-hime: "That's true. So what should I call you? Please tell me."
Hisoka: "Hisoka. Kurosaki Hisoka."}

After he escorts Tsubaki-hime to her room, Hisoka has another flashback of Muraki while he is walking back to his room. When he enters the suite, he finds the room a mess. Tsuzuki and GuShoShin have been busy checking the information in the microchip. Tsuzuki notices Hisoka's pallor and tells him to rest.

In the Kuzutaka mansion, Muraki's old devoted servant Sakaki answers the phone. Muraki wants to make sure all preparations are completed. Sakaki replies everything is well.

Hisoka has a nightmare and wakes up screaming. Tsuzuki looks down at him, worried. As he tries to clam down, Hisoka wonders why he is dreaming about Muraki now. GuShoShin interrupts his line of thought, exclaiming how he finally crackrd the code to the microchip's main database. They see a long list of numbers, and GuShoShin opens a file to reveal Queen Camellia's blueprint design. There is a red X mark on the lower section of the ship. Tsuzuki asks GuShoShin to report the newest findings to Enma Cho right away.

In Enma Cho, Tatsumi shows Konoe the current reports. Konoe immediately dispatches Tatsumi to aid Tsuzuki in the operation and also call for reinforcement from the other sections.

Tsuzuki and Hisoka rush to the lower section of the ship. On the way, Hisoka notices Tsubaki-hime is not in her room. After looking around the lower section for some time, Tsuzuki finds a secret entrance. They move the wall to the side and enter a hidden room. There are cabinets on the sides of the room, and an operation table in the center. Hisoka and Tsuzuki are shocked as they observe the cabinets' contents. They turn at a sound from the door and see Tsubaki-hime standing there. She suddenly holds up a fruit knife and charges toward Hisoka.

Tsuzuki and Hisoka are surprised to see Muraki alive. Muraki reveals that HE is the real mastermind. He is the man behind the "King of Swords" because he is both the advisor and the cruel man. He had proposed to Kakyouin in building Queen Camellia and starting the organ business because Kakyouin wanted to find a heart for his daughter. Because Irene was the only one whose heart qualified for Tsubaki-hime, she was picked as the donor. However, Kakyouin wanted out of the black market business after Tsubaki-hime's heart transplant. To keep Kakyouin in line, Muraki decided to "create" Irene. He told Tsubaki-hime the identity of the donor and manipulated her through her guilt. Everytime she took the medicine, he suggested to her that Irene still existed in her body; thus, creating another personality in her.

Just then, Tsubaki-hime returns to herself and looks up. She is glad Muraki is still alive, and confesses her love for him. Muraki leans down and takes the camellia from her collar. {Muraki: "But I don't love you."} Hisoka gets extremely angry at Muraki's indifferent attitude, since Tsubaki-hime cares for Muraki so much. {Muraki: "Love is just a meaningless term. It's fake."} Bombs explode somewhere on the ship, and Muraki tells them the ship is about to sink. He leaves the room and Tsuzuki chases after him. Hisoka holds Tsubaki-hime and asks why she still believes in Muraki.

Tsuzuki runs after Muraki and demands to know why Muraki did it. {Muraki: "I didn't know you would go undercover on this ship before. So afterwards I thought I should make this plan more interesting. First I provided her with the poison, then I told her to leave the tarot cards and the message cards. In other words, I did help with Irene's murders."}

Back in the hidden room, Hisoka is still with Tsubaki-hime.
{Tsubaki-hime: "I'm sorry. I made a bet with myself. If I could fall in love with you, I would have given up on the doctor. But, I lost."
Hisoka: "Why him? He doesn't even treat us like human beings. Throwing people away once he is tired of them, he only sees us as dolls."}

Meanwhile, Muraki and Tsuzuki have reached the deck. Tsuzuki demands Muraki provide an explanation for his doings, to which Muraki responds he is only using the ship as a tool for research. He is almost done with the experiment now, and will soon draw a conclusion to it. Tsuzuki is angry at how little feelings Muraki has for human life. Muraki says Tsuzuki is too sensitive about other people's death. {Muraki: "You've very sensitive to other people's death. Whenever someone dies in front of you, your soul slowly falls apart... That's what I like about you."} Tsuzuki tries to hit him, but Muraki dodges the attack and captures him instead.

Tsubaki-hime continues to talk to Hisoka.
{Tsubaki-hime: "Maybe I've been with him too long, so I can not tell if he is good or bad. However, I believe he lives to be a doctor. Because he was once someone who exists purely to save people."}

Muraki whispers next to Tsuzuki's ear and caresses his face. {Muraki: "This reminds me of the time when we first met. At first I only want to see you. How I want to caress your beautiful hair. And now... how much I want you. Again and again, my desire burns like the flames. You..."} Muraki turns Tsuzuki's face so he can kiss him. Tsuzuki's eyes widen and he pushes Muraki away. [It's up to you to decide whether Muraki succeeded, but if you check frame by frame after Tsuzuki's eyes widen, you would notice that he didn't. There was at least an one inch gap. XD] Another explosion rocks the ship and Tsuzuki is thrown backwards. Muraki escapes via a helicopter. {Muraki: Muraki: "Goodbye, Tsuzuki-san. I'll come see you soon with a hundred roses."}

Tsubaki-hime now requests Hisoka to kill her.

Elsewhere, GuShoShin flies around the ship calling out for Tsuzuki and Hisoka, while the ship's passengers start to panic. Tsuzuki is running back to the hidden room, calling out Hisoka's name.

Hisoka takes up the gun and aims it downwards...

{Tsubaki-hime: "Please don't be sad, Hisoka. Even though I cannot stay by your side anymore, you still have someone who cherishes you."}

Tsuzuki continues down the hall, which is now slightly flooded.

{Tsubaki-hime: "Someone who is by your side... Someone who loves you."}

Tatsumi, flying a helicopter, shows up above the Queen Camellia. He looks down in concern.

Meanwhile, Tsuzuki finally reaches the hidden room. He finds Hisoka leaning against one of the cabinets and staring at nothing. He goes up to Hisoka and shakes him. Hisoka looks up at him and whispers, "Tsuzuki..." Tsuzuki tells him the ship is about to sink and they leave the room.

Later, they are all on the helicopter. GuShoShin stays with Tatsumi in the front, while Tsuzuki and Hisoka sit in the back. Tatsumi is relieved that although the ship does sink, at least all the passengers are saved by the reinforcements and taken to Hong Kong. [The Enma Cho people have put the passengers to sleep via sleeping gas, and will eventually erase their memories regarding the incident.] As Tsuzuki starts to lean against the seat, Hisoka suddenly tells Tsuzuki that he has killed Tsubaki-hime. The bullet had gone straight through her heart.

~Insert flashback of Hisoka firing a shot. Something in him seems to break at this moment, and he drops the gun.~

Tears cascading down his cheeks, Hisoka opens the two hands he has been holding in fists to reveal blood on them. He cries into them, saying how he does not want this to happen. Tsuzuki starts to comfort Hisoka, who falls into his embrace. Tsuzuki holds him as he sobs.

In another helicopter, Muraki looks at the camellia in his hands. "What a pity," he whispers, and drops it out the open door. The petals fall apart as the camellia descends toward the sea.
