Jerry and Marty and their other friends soon find out that indeed Dai is rather difficult to deal with, but it doesn't take long before Dai becomes their friend. However, sometimes when they feel that Dai is getting closer to them he would say or do something that shows that he doesn't really think them as his close friends. The story then begins to unfold itself. Dai's new friends start to discover the truth about the mysteries surrounding Dai.
