One day, Shohei Akihara, Misaki's fixer, called her up and asked the teenaged rigger to help her with a score. The goal was to stage the death of a VIP, so Shohei needed people to act both as security, and as the antagonist, in order to stage the event. The VIP's name was Mason Lam, a trideo celebrity who had been indicted on serious white collar crimes, and faced significant jail time. He posted bail, and some sympathetic wealthy fans decided to help stage his death to avoid trial.
Misaki called up Kuroi to help, and Shohei also introduced the two of them to Megumi.
