Having infiltrated the Chasseurs’ underground headquarters underneath Paris, Noé and Vanitas manage to convince Captain Roland and his soldiers that they are on the same side. Vanitas reveals some information about his past, including the fact that he spent time with Dr. Moreau, a mad scientist who has been experimenting on vampires, trying to create the best hybrid human / vampire. Their plan to bring Moreau to justice is undermined, however, when the Doctor manages to escape, leaving a deadly curse-bearer behind.

With Vanitas on an errand, Noé meets Lord Ruthven, who binds him to his will after he discusses Vanitas’ old master, whom vampires consider a threat. Meanwhile, Vanitas and Jeanne are spending time together. Convinced that she hates Vanitas, Jeanne has come up with a clever plan to make him dislike her. She will make herself available, and proposes a date. Unfortunately, things don’t turn out the way Jeanne was expecting ...

The story continues in The Case Study of Vanitas, Vol. 5.
