Harvest Night

There's a bridge that divides the town, separating violence from non-violence, immorality from morality, sexually abusive lifestyles from ordinary lifestyles. There's no order beyond that bridge. That's where Ryoko enters in search of her friends, Masato and Honoka. What she finds there is Masato, now the leader of a gang that profits from violence and sex. Although Masato is a capable leader, he's not without trouble. Shinji, one of his subordinates, is deceiving him, and we sense mutiny brewing. We also meet Lisa, Shinji's girlfriend, whose cruelty winds up killing a girl from an opposing gang. Trying to persuade Honoka and Masato to return to the other side of the bridge, Ryoko sees Honoka spitting blood due to a serious illness. Although a doctor tells Honoka to leave this corrupt town and seek a cure on the other side of the bridge, Honoka refuses to go. Meanwhile, Emi, a hooker and Masato's lover, is bothered by Ryoko hanging around. Emi realizes that Ryoko can influence Masato and sees her as competition. It's clear that Ryoko is in love with Masato and that's why she's here. As the episode concludes, Emi seduces Ryoko, cunningly getting her to engage in-group sex and tarnish her pure reputation. As Emi, Ryoko and Masato go at it, Honoka collapses unconscious, spitting blood, while simultaneously Ryoko reaches her sexual climax.
