This episode itself begins with Mikan playing soccer with other Alice students. In the middle of the game, however, a kid uses his Alice to try to score a goal. Mikan, who's being the goal keeper tries to deflect the power by using her cancellation Alice. However, the ball ends up being floated to the sky and runs into the forrest area. While searching for the ball, Mikan almost runs into Mr.Bear. Mikan tries her best not to hide from the bear but unfortunately, all of a sudden, the soccerball that she was looking for lands on top of Mr.Bear's head then returns to her arms. Of course, the stuff animal thinks Mikan is the one who throws the ball and begins to pummell the living daylights out of poor Mikan.

Later on, while trying to recover from her bruises, Mikan spots a group of walking and talking stuff animals trying to carry a bucket of water. Upon seeing Mikan, one of the stuff animals asked for her help to carry the water because their master is in bad condition. Mikan agrees to help and in the process gets to know Sono Kaname, a student from B class. Not long after this, the two are joined by Tsubasa and the other Tokuryoku-kei members. Tsubasa asks if Kaname had just leave the hospital today and the guy confirms that he's on temporary leave for one week. Tsubasa then tells Mikan that Kaname is the one he talked about when he told her about a best friend whose Alice can make a soul dwells within a doll.

In addition to this, much to Mikan's horor, he is also Mr.Bear's creator. Despite this, everyone end ups talking to Kaname inside Mr.Bear's house. Upon hearing the horror story about Mr.Bear, Kaname asks Mikan's forgiveness for Mr.Bear's violent tendencies. Mr.Bear, on the other hand, doesn't look like he's about to befriend Mikan and the others anytime soon. Kaname then explains that Mr.Bear was the first moving doll he made. Since he didn't know his power well enough, the doll end up without the ability to talk. Having said that, he hopes that Mr.Bear and Mikan can be friends. Anyway, in the middle of the conversation, a group of high school girls comes into Mr.Bear's house bringing gifts for Kaname.

They tell the guy that they know he's back at the school because their dolls informed them that they were on their way to see their creators. Apparently Kaname had created those other talking dolls for these girls and they are highly appreciative of it. The girls also want to throw party to celebrate Kaname's return. Kaname agrees to this but for some reason Tsubasa doesn't look happy about it but Kaname quietly asks him not to say it in front of the others. So Tsubasa ends up saying that they don't have water in the house. When Mikan sees Tsubasa looking upset, she decides to ask him if Kaname is suffering from some kind of sickness. Because of this, Tsubasa tells his kouhai that Kaname suffers from the effect of using his Alice.

He reminds her that one of the Alice types is one that can produce harm to its user. And Kaname's Alice falls into this category. Everytime Kaname uses his Alice, he effectively shortens his own life. It doesn't help that Kaname's body wasn't that healthy to begin with. Upon hearing this, Mikan wants to ask Kaname from using his power any further but Tsubasa tells her that she can't do it. He tells her that it's a situation that no one understand so she'd be better off staying away from it. The situation, however, makes Mikan restless and she accidentally swats Natsume's hair with a duster while thinking about it. Strangely Natsume is not angry at her and simply leaves her without saying a single word.

Mikan is weirded out by this but then she remembers what Tsubasa said about the kind of Alice that harms its user and wonders if Natsume has the same harmful type of Alice. Natsume, on the other hand, is more concerned with Persona's threat from the previous episode and tries to stay away from everyone. That night, Kaname is seen busy trying to create a new doll. It is obvious, however, that this causes a lot of strain on his health. Tsubasa then enters his room to scold his friend for not going to bed already. Tsubasa tells his friend that he should put a little bit more attention to himself. Because of this, Kaname has no choice but to go back to his bed. After Tsubasa leaves the room, however, Kaname continues to sew the doll in the darkness.

The next day, Mikan complains to Hotaru that she doesn't understand why Kaname will continue to jeopardise his own life and why Tsubasa won't say a word to his friend about it. She becomes even more disturbed when she sees one of the high school girls happily shows her new doll that was just made by Kaname. Mikan decides to confront Kaname but ends up being asked if she wants him to make a doll for her. Mikan flat out refuses and asks Kaname to stop making the dolls. Kaname is grateful that Mikan worries about him but decides to tell a story of the first time he made Mr.Bear. He remembers how he can't played with his two friends because of his sickness. On top of this, his parents were always at work so he's always home alone.

Because Kaname wants some kind of a friend, he ended up creating Mr.Bear. When he touched Mr.Bear's nose and tells him that he's his precious friend, Mr.Bear suddenly came to live and began to hug Kaname. Ever since then he feels nothing but a sense of gratitude for his Alice ability. Because of this, he wants to continue using his Alice to make other people happy. Back to the present Mikan goes back with a rather depressed Tsubasa who tells her that surely by now she understands that Kaname will continue using his Alice. Even if that means he will sacrifice some parts of his life. Having said that, Tsubasa understands this somehow and he believes Mikan understands Kaname as well.

Later on that night, Mikan's friend meet one another to talk about a restless soul they've been seeing lately. Even Ruka admits of seeing it at around 11 at night. Because of this, they decide to send someone else to confirm the existence of this restless soul/ghost and they decide to send Mikan. Mikan doesn't waste time crying and complaining that she is afraid of ghost but nevertheless, she gets dragged kicking and screaming by Hotaru. They eventually spots the so-called 'ghost' and it turns out that it simply is Mr.Bear carrying some kind of lantern. After following it, they realised that Mr.Bear is the one who's been placing a flower in front of Kaname's window.

This time, however, Kaname catches him in the act and tells the bear that he knew it'll come again today and that it was the one who put the flowers with the stepladder. The stuffed animal then sweetly gives the flowers to Kaname. Upon receiving the flowers, Kaname tells the doll that tomorrow he has to go back to the hospital even though it's earlier than he planned. He is kind of worried because then Mr.Bear will be all alone again even though he promised it that they will always be together. This makes Mikan wonder if there is someone who worries and cares about her well-being from the sky up there. Anyway, the episode ends with Kaname leaving the school and Mikan offering herself to take care of Mr.Bear. Of course, that last one didn't end well.
