When he grows up, he works as a crime reporter and writes a novel that becomes a bestseller and is sought after by a student, Air Sunyi (Lola Amaria), for her thesis subject. Then Air contacts Drum, in his beach house. But then she gets tied up as apparently, Drum is using Air to find his mother's face. Air fights back and bites Drum's finger off.
