Once a rather strange and gloomy incident occurs with Sarah, she becomes a witness to the suicide of a girl unfamiliar to her, which, strangely enough, is like two drops of water similar to Sarah herself. The girl decides to appropriate the identity of the deceased, posing as herself, but this only aggravated the situation of Sarah, as she had even more problems.
