Kasane's face is so hideous, you couldn't bear to look twice at her-and her ugliness has forced her to walk a harsh path in life. But her mother left her something: a tube of lipstick. The power of this lipstick will change everything about her downtrodden life.
Kasane's lipstick can steal faces—but she's declared that Lady of the Dawn, written and directed by Habuta, will be the last play she ever stars in, and the last she ever uses the lipstick. Unable to understand why she's doing this, Habuta looks into what she might really want. Reading Nagi Kaidou's notebook, which was in Nogiku's posession, he learns the secret of the permanent exchange. Beyond the tangled morass of all their various motives, the truth finally comes to light.
