In case#1:decoyman, Ayame breaks Kamui out of his confinement in IMM Hospital and keeps him bound and locked away in her studio while he is in a catatonic state. On March 27, 1999, she lures Yuriko Sonoda out of her workplace with the promise of meeting Kamui. Ayame then kills her with a modified harpoon gun. Later that night, she began being tracked by the public security force Republic, who believed her to be Kamui. She manages to kill two of the Republic members, Kenichi Sakamoto, and Haruhiko Inomata. She then attacks the team commander Daigo Natsume, placing him in a coma. The next day, she kills Yuka Kawai in her home, before dumping her body above the sewer lines near Babylon street. On April 9th, she lures Kei Nanami to the Babylon Shopping Center, killing her by gouging out her chest and leaving her body on the mall's roof. While at Babylon, she also comes into contact with Tokio Morishima. After killing the women, she also planned to kill the children Kamui had with them, but couldn't bring herself to do it.
On April 10th, she meets the Heinous Crimes Unit detective Sumio Kodai, accompanied by Akira. They speak about Kamui in her studio, and she and Sumio begin to flirt.
