If someone does not take their pills, they could find themselves swimming in a sea of blood, claiming that the bears should be aware of their monstrous strength (a comment that terrifies his roommates). In bed, Riz thinks about how he ate Tem consensually, which is how he became his one true herbivore friend, as if the food ingredients offered no resistance, an act that was gentle, peaceful and therefore consensual.

After completing his mission he retired to his home where he is cared for by The 500 Cornered Rats.

Yahya tells him that the blows don't really matter, and they are still a long way from perfect peace. The general tells him that the police are doing their best to control crime, and the call ends. At the police station, a subordinate of the general asks him if he was talking with the Beastar, and he confirms it. The subordinate warns him that there are rumors that the Beastar is actually dead and that everything is a myth that the police created. The general understands these rumors, because Yahya is different from the previous Beastars, as he does not show himself to the media and does not take part in politics.

Yahya at the top of a building reflects on his 350° view. He alludes that those 10° he does not have are the reason why crime in the city has not been eliminated. He blames Gosha, who was his partner and friend. When they were young, they both fought crime and Gosha was the one who made up for those 10 degrees that he needed. After Gosha left the Beastar road to dedicate himself to his family, Yahya gathered a deep hatred towards his friend for having abandoned him. Back to the present time, Yahya is in an alley where he finds some vandals beaten. They explain that they were beaten by an old Komodo dragon and his grandson who is a gray wolf.

The only thing she looks forward to these days is attending a massage parlor once a week, the only place in modern society where carnivores can legally make herbivores obey them. She is treated by Marilyn, an alpaca masseuse who asks her to lie on her back, but Aisha tells her that she does not need treatment on her front, only her back and limbs. She explains that to for a carnivore showing their belly is a sign of "surrender" and therefore it is not so simple. Marilyn responds that she should surrender to her, putting pressure on the sole of her foot, causing Aisha a lot of pain. She tells Aisha her liver is a mess, so she should cut down drinking, and thanks her for being her client every week, regardless of an ulterior motive. Marilyn declares that she enjoys the work where she has full control over the body of a large carnivore, and claims to have the upper hand and orders Aisha to lie back. Shocked, Aisha asks Marilyn to call her name again, causing Marilyn to play with her.

In order to deal with her work, Aisha continues to visit the massage parlor every week where she has to deal with Marilyn. One day Aisha can't take it anymore and asks her to stop, claiming that she only comes for a massage, but Marilyn always talks to her like she knows her, like she's some kind of counselor when she's just an impudent herbivore. Crying, Aisha declares that she is a tigress, her work, her personal life, everything has to be perfect and unbeatable, like a tiger. Marilyn replies that yet she continues coming here and after pushing her, Marilyn claims that here Aisha is just a helpless kitten mewling for help, and she still has not obeyed her request. She says that kittens should listen to adults and let her ease her breast muscle. Even when she does not want to lie back, Marilyn puts herself on top of her, forcing her to lay face up. Aisha, who is no longer a tigress, feels good, and is between tears, says she surrenders. Marilyn comments how fitting it is that her tiger pattern stops at her belly, and Aisha responds by telling her that she's a nasty masseuse.

Later, Aisha wonders what they did after that. She keeps trying to remember, but can't. At that time, the alpaca's fur didn't feel as real, it was too fluffy, and Aisha stopped going to the clinic after that day.

The director recalls Cosmo was told that there was another herbivorous dancer who died two years ago. After removing her makeup, Cosmo goes out to smoke and meets Louis. Both are surprised to see each other. Cosmo realizes that Louis is a teenager and asks him why is he in the Black Market. Louis only asks her what her problem is, and Cosmo declares that there are two types of clients that she has had to deal with in her eight-year career - carnivores who pity her and the herbivores who tend to ridicule her. After a moment in which both are silent, Cosmo leaves telling Louis that they will eat him if he stays in the Market and tells him to go home.

Shortly after, Cosmo goes to a public men's room where she meets a client, a South American bear, that she has met ten times before, to give him oral sex, which she does at the expense of the strip club to earn more money. Cosmo alleges that this type of personal service is not alien, but it bothers her that every time she meets that client, he holds her head with more and more force. Cosmo proceeds to ask him why he likes receiving his "job", despite him being a carnivore and she a herbivore, which confuses her client. Cosmo asks if it is for lack of appetite, lust or because she excites him. Her client asks if desire needs any distinction, and he fiercely strangles her while asking her opinion and preparing to devour her. Cosmo realizes that the day of her death has arrived, but both are stopped by the Shishigumi who enter the scene and reveal that the strip club is now part of the Shishigum's territory. Louis orders his subordinates to beat the bear and reminds Cosmo that earlier she told him to go home and reveals that the Black Market is his home. Louis asks her to get along from one herbivore to another.

Later, Cosmo meets Louis in a bar where she had mentioned him, although Louis affirms that he respects her as an herbivore, but that he has no intention of familiarizing her, which Cosmo takes with grace. They both drink together and Cosmo highlights that Louis still does not seem to be used to being in the Black Market. Cosmo tells him that she has lived eight years in the Market and that she is ready to die in it. She affirms that the Market is a paradise for carnivores and hell for herbivores. Before leaving, Cosmo alleges that Louis is still young and kisses him on the cheek telling him that his contract is his only chance to get out of the Market.

Legoshi declares that he is aware of this, revealing that he only saved Haru to satisfy his own ego and that he is fine with it, which is why Legoshi states that there is nothing special between him and Haru.
