"Sakizuke" opens immediately after the last episode ended, with a lone victim trying to make a brutal escape. This young man, chosen by a killer to be coated in resin and stitched into a mural of corpses, has somehow survived his fatal heroin overdose, and now, with no idea where he is or how he got there, he has to rip his own flesh free of his neighbors, run outside, and hope he can find someone to help him. What he finds instead is the killer, coming back to work on his masterpiece. And moments later he's chased to the edge of a cliff where he jumps to his death into a river.
