Hack is being held at the customer center under suspicion of being Phantom Zero, where she's questioned about the crime of forcibly erasing Love. Meanwhile, Berry learns from the mysterious Finn about how he and his comrades are ghosts, citizens who live in the city despite not being registered. Finn is skeptical that a fellow ghost would have helped Berry, and obtains the data on Phantom Zero from the paper plane device of Hack's that Berry brought.

The Ghost Detective Club has a new case. The client is a professor that uses Deco overlays to create artificial animal that he has on display at his Neo Animal Museum. His self-proclaimed masterpiece, the Nue, has an appearance that doesn't match the listing on Decopeedia, and hires the detective club hoping to clear up the confusion. After getting a glimpse at the professor's Nue, it looks nothing like the cute creature whose picture is on the Decopedia page. Even so, the professor insists that his Nue is the accurate version.

When Finn was young, his family lived in a slum where garbage tended to be dumped. One day, his brother brings him an older model of Deco that should be easier for Finn to use due to his Deco-Sickness. With it, Finn accidentally discovers that the local purification systems are broken. Believing this is what has caused his home to become polluted, he uses the Deco that he got from his brother to request that the customer center fix the purification system. But because he isn't registered as a citizen, his login is flagged as illegal, which leads to his request not being answered.

A young girl awakens in a empty white space. She's enjoying a happy life with her parents, staring out at her pet peacock. But then, from out of nowhere, Berry appears. The girl is surprised, and attempts to run away.
