In the middle of a dream, Kate wakes up and finds herself in a suicide beach. The beach has been deserted since an explosion in 3087, when a chemical called r was accidentally released into the sea. Because the chemical remains in the water, those who fall into the water will instantly lose all sense of pain and will smile at their dead bodies. Kate remembers that she came to the beach to collect data for her university report. When she sees a human bone on the beach, she is horrified. The bone belongs to someone who committed suicide. The cage on which the bones are engraved seems to have a name engraved on it: Urik. Kate wonders if the bones could also be connected to the murders of many people who have committed suicide, but she is unable to figure out who would buy the bones from the cage.
