5 - about a low rank yakuza member who earns money via prostitution, who meets an undercover cop on the lookout for information on a new addictive date rape drug called "pierce" that makes the user experience extreme ecstasy and severe memory loss among other things. They're both trying to find out more on the drug the cop for obvious reasons but the gang members are also on the lookout because it goes against the ironclad no drug policy. The two of them start as prostitute & client until the uke is on the lookout for a change of pace and ends up drugged for the second time only to be saved in the midst of a police sting. Agreeing to be a spy for the cop because he's his only source of income as well as his only prospect for getting more information on whats going on he unintentionally discovers a lead when a hostess at the bar he "works" at reminds him that the girl that drugged him worked there before she disappeared with the rival gang leader. He gets caught and taken prisoner when sneaking into the backrooms in order to ear hustle for more information where the rival gang leader attempts to force him to overdose on the drug. He manages to overpower them and escape but not before he is forced to swallow half the bottle. He's found 3 days later by the boss and the cop but he's beaten up, mentally fragile, and unable to remember to remember anything but his boss and his "job" which the cop is unexpectedly saddened by after becoming fond of him without realizing and suddenly struck with his absence when he goes missing. Now that hes been found, he's staying at the cops place because being around his boss [who he looks up to so much for picking him up when his parents abandoned him] noticeably stresses him out since he feels pathetic in his current state.
