In Heidelberg, a girl named Nina Fortner rushes to class. She is a top student and is admired by everyone. She works as a part time pizza delivery girl and also takes karate classes. Nina comes home to find a corny romantic email written to her by an unknown boy. In Köln, Tenma searches for the identity of Johan. He finds that Johan lived in a lot of places and went by the names Michael and Franz. A war veteran reiterates that the boy learnt French and English with ease and always wants to hear war stories. Few days later Johan shows up at Nina's school.

Tenma and Nina come back to the house and find that the reporter and Nina's parents are dead. They are escorted by two police officers. On the way, Tenma realizes that the officers know more things than they are letting on. He grows suspicious and jumps off a bridge to a river with Nina. The following morning, on the river bank, Nina remembers everything from her past.
