1"Sister Sister"
Transliteration: "Shisutā Shisutā" (Japanese: シスター・シスター)		TBATBATBAJuly 6, 2025 (2025-07-06)
After an assassin named Shao kills his target, he is betrayed by second head of the Okajima gang as he and his men prepare to kill Shao. Shao narrowly escapes, but is badly injured. A flashback reveals that Shao and his sister Mao were captured by the first head of the Okajima and Shao was forced to work as an assassin in exchange for his sister's freedom when she reaches the age of 20. Every year, he would receive a voice message of Mao singing a lullaby. Following instructions left by the now-deceased first head, Shao arrives at Hotel Inhumans and meets its two concierges, Ikuro Hoshi and Sara Haizaki, who are willing to do whatever tasks that their guests request for. Shao asks for them to find and rescue Mao, though they fear that she might already be dead. Shao is led to a chapel where the second head and his men confront them, but Ikuro reveals that he lured them to the chapel. The criminals prepare to kill Shao and Ikuro, but they are ambushed by Sara, who uses her combat skills to neutralize the criminals. Shao then interrogates the second head, learning that Mao was already murdered before killing him. While visiting Mao's grave, Shao meets a girl named Mei who he realizes is Mao's daughter. Back at the hotel, Ikuro admits he already knew about Mei's existence and secretly arranged for her and Shao to meet.
2"Dying Service 1"
Transliteration: "Daīngu・Sābisu 1" (Japanese: ダイイング・サービス1)		TBATBATBAJuly 13, 2025 (2025-07-13)
A criminal is murdered by Toshiya Kase, an assassin disguised as him. Kase then heads to Hotel Inhumans. After making arrangements for Kase's stay, Ikuro expresses his frustration at serving assassins, who he believes are villains, though Sara points out that assassins have various reasons for killing others and at the end of the day, are still their guests. Meanwhile, Kase reflects on how he is obsessed with the "perfect kill" and has perfectly planned out all aspects of his life except when it comes to his wife Asami, who is the one person he cannot read. After learning about Kase's bewilderment at his wife's habits, Ikuro begins to show a more caring side to him. Later, Kase kills a drug dealer named Kenji Shimamoto while dressed like him, but upon leaving, he comes across Asami, which throws his entire plan off. Fortunately, Asami doesn't recognize him, but the meeting distracts Kase enough that he fails to spot another assassin who mortally wounds him, thinking he is Shimamoto. Ikuro and Sara rush to Kase's aid, but he knows he is too far gone and requests for them to kill him as part of their "Dying Service".
3"Dying Service 2"
Transliteration: "Daīngu・Sābisu 2" (Japanese: ダイイング・サービス2)		TBATBATBAJuly 21, 2025 (2025-07-21)[b]
A funeral is held for Kase at the hotel, with his coworkers and Asami also in attendance. A flashback reveals how Kase met Asami during a rainy summer. As part of the Dying Service, Ikuro and Sara record Kase's death as sudden heart failure and erase all evidence of his crimes. At the conclusion of the funeral, Sara intercepts a hitman sent by Shimamoto's organization to kill Asami, believing she was involved in Shimamoto's death. Sara clears up the misunderstanding by explaining Asami's was there by pure coincidence. Meanwhile, Ikuro speaks to Asami about Kase's death, and she asks what he was like on the day that he died. Ikuro recalls that Kase's last words were to plead to him and Sara to protect Asami, since a nearby security camera could implicate her in Shimamoto's death. Ikuro tells Asami that she was the one person who could break Kase's stoic nature, and she admits she enjoyed trying to force a reaction out of him. Ikuro then delivers Kase's final letter to Asami, which reveals that he truly did love her. The next day, Sara asks Ikuro if he thinks Kase is special, and thinking back upon how happy Kase looked talking about Asami, he concludes that even if hitmen are criminals, they are still capable of falling in love.
