A body lies dead in the park as birds surround it. Elsewhere, Amon has decided it is time Robin wears glasses and hands her a pair. Robin assures him that her eyes are fine.
On her way home from her daily visit to church, Robin walks through the park and meets a girl who sits alone, painting a landscape. The two engage in a theological discussion, as the girl, Sayoko, has noticed that Robin often visits the church.
When Robin returns to STN-J headquarters, Amon is quick to hand her files to look through. They are unsolved murder cases from the last two years involving suspicious circumstances. The murders may or may not have been caused by a witch. The murder at Yotsuya Pond Park may be tied in with the other murders. Similarities include the victims all bled to death from external wounds and that the weapon was never found. All victims were cut alive and there was no evidence of them being sedated or tied up. There was also no evidence of a struggle. Therefore, it is hard to believe that a witch wasn't involved. One murder occurred just four months before Robin joined the group.
Later, Robin and Karasuma sit at Harry's. Robin asks Karasuma to read her. Karasuma touches her and describes Robin's confusion and loneliness. She cannot understand why Amon asks so cold to her and ignores her upon occasion. Karasuma explains to her that Robin is coming across crystal clear and that she didn't have to use her powers to see that. She can only read thoughts and vibes directed at a particular thing. She's not a mind reader. Robin then asks about her rank. Karasuma is an S-Class, while Robin is only an A-Class. Karasuma assures Robin that if she was able to accurately aim, she'd move to S-Class immediately. Robin confesses that she doesn't know why she can't aim accurately.
Together, Robin and Karasuma investigate Yotsuya Pond Park, but the two split up as they look for clues. Robin visits Sayoko while Karasuma investigates a trail of bird feathers. When she touches the feathers, she sees Sayoko. Meanwhile, Robin watches as Sayoko becomes annoyed with the crows around her. She tries to frighten them away with her power, but Robin steps in and demands that she stop. In the process, Sayoko's easel is knocked over, which sends her into a rage. She repeats over and over that Robin has contaminated her. She then attacks, but Robin ducks behind a tree just in time. Robin unleashes her fire attack but misses and hits Sayoko's painting. She starts towards Robin, but Robin has her glasses and has gained some accuracy with her aim. As Robin attacks the girl, Amon and Sakaki appear and shoot her to contain her.
