In the midst of the Rozen Maiden conflicts, where the life-like dolls battle each other, Jun Sakurada takes a brief respite to hear a tale. After buying a brooch intended as a gift for Shinku, the fifth doll, her refusal to accept it prompts Souseiseki, the fourth doll, to recount the backstory of Shinku and Suigintou, the first doll. The story reveals the sorrowful beginnings of Suigintou's creation and the series of misunderstandings that led to the intense rivalry between her and Shinku, fueled by Suigintou's relentless animosity.
