Plot
Gaspard is a young man who leads a visibly carefree life in the
After a visit to a DIY store, both couples end up in a deserted corner at the end of a dirt road. Marion and Gaspard have lost sight of Audrey and Dragon for a moment, and when they find them again, a tragedy appears to have occurred: Dragon and Sam/Audrey have tried to commit suicide using a plastic snake and Dragon's car. Marion and Gaspard make an attempt to save them, but for Dragon, their help comes too late.
Audrey with faint signs of life survives by Marion giving her
When the disillusioned Gaspard returns home, he discovers that Vincent - Audrey's brother - has broken into his home. Vincent tells Gaspard that his sister has long been suicidal. He also discovers that Vincent was spying on them the day Gaspard and Marion were able to save Audrey. Vincent admits his sickly fascination with suicide, and Gaspard suddenly understands that it is Vincent who uses his sister to lure young people into suicide pacts. He tries to contact Sam/Audrey through Black Hole and manages to make a date at the apartment she shares with her brother, not knowing that it was actually Vincent who controlled Sam within Black Hole. When Gaspard arrives at Audrey and Vincent's apartment, he is overpowered by Vincent after a short conversation with Audrey. He cuffs his hands and drags him to the roof of the apartment building, with the intention of pushing him off. Just before he succeeds, Audrey attracts her brother's attention by jumping off the roof herself. Realizing that his sister is dead, Vincent stops trying to kill Gaspard.
The next morning, both Gaspard and Vincent are in the police station. Gaspard is reunited with Marion, who hugs him after seemingly forgiving him for his past behavior.
