An unexpected journey by Rin into an earlier time opens new perspectives on central characters in their youth. The episode takes place four decades earlier in a snow-covered, low-income neighborhood and focuses on a young girl named Yuri, who leads a dangerous life among ruins and makeshift shelters. Despite the adverse circumstances, she displays a lively curiosity about mysterious phenomena, particularly a bluish flame that appears and disappears around her.
Amid these events, Mephisto, who reveals that he looks the same at all times, accompanies the observer to show how Yuri comes into contact with several individuals who will shape the future. One of them is the young Shiro, introduced as a reclusive figure sustaining himself in a secret hideout. Their brief encounter shows how Yuri and Shiro, both isolated in different ways, form a cautious connection while avoiding the dangers of their surroundings.
Soon, tragedy strikes Yuri's makeshift family, and she seeks refuge in another place. This leads her to an institution called Asylum, an early version of an exorcist school. There, Yuri discovers strict routines, meets other children, and learns the path to becoming an exorcist. Additionally, Satan's presence becomes visible during this time, though he does not seem aware of his identity or purpose.
