	Wato's childhood friend, Ryota, approaches her for help with a case concerning his family: his wife, Sakura, bit their baby girl's arm. Sakura's mother attributes this strange behavior to an alleged family curse, but the combined efforts of Wato and Sherlock reveal the involvement of the family's young son, Daiki, and an actor named Kaito Yuuki. Kaito blamed Sakura for the death of his fiancé in a car accident and decided to exact revenge by killing her daughter. By impersonating a fictional superhero Daiki liked, he was able to get in contact with the boy through exchanging letters and eventually tricked him into injecting his baby sister with poison. Sakura caught Daiki in the act and bit into the baby's arm to suck the poison out. When Kaito goes to deliver another message and more poison to Daiki, the police are waiting to arrest him. While investigating the case, Wato meets Toru Moriya, a war photographer, and they bond over shared experiences in war zones. Later, while out on an errand, Wato suffers a traumatic flashback related to her time in Syria.
