Ren’s new cast mate Taira Murasame is a former teen delinquent, and he sees show business as just another gang to get to the top of. Normally Ren would have no problem dealing with a punk like Murasame, but his role as BJ requires him to tap his darkest depths. That means letting Kuon's personality out in the open. When Murasame and Ren have to rehearse their stage combat, will Ren be able to remember that he's only acting and stay in control?

* Act 177. "Dark Breath" [[note]]Murasame reflects on his gang days -- his pride as a delinquent makes him unable to walk away from a fight, which is why he confronted Cain. He gets chills remembering Cain's aura of blood lust, and wonders if a person who is merely acting can display such an aura without having blood on his hands. For her part, Kyoko feels like she isn't totally in her role as Setsuka compared to Ren in his role of Cain. She is still having trouble with Setsu's clingy behavior. Ren sneaks away to change his contact lenses so Kyoko won't notice he's already wearing contacts to hide his green eyes.[[/note]]

Kyoko has her own problems to worry about: namely her performance as Setsuka Heel. She feels like she isn't as in character as Ren is, and vows to up her game as the clingy little sister with a big brother complex. But something in Ren's performance is worrying her. Killer BJ is supposed to be an emotionless shell -- so then why is Ren smiling when he has to fight Murasame? Could it be the "demon" that's threatening his control of Cain Heel's persona is also creeping into his role as Killer BJ?

Even off the set, Ren has been acting strangely. It's up to Kyoko to get to the bottom of this as Ren's LuckyCharm.
