[A few minutes earlier, at Yuji and Hamada’s booth]

Both Yuji and Hamada sat together like a couple as they looked at Yuji’s phone which show pictures of memories of their younger days.

And when Yuji swipe to the next photo, Hamada suddenly grab the phone away from him and began laughing.

“HAHAHAHA… No way! You still keep that!?”

The photo that she laughed at was a photo of Young Hamada doing a peace hand sign and smiling while in the background was Yuji on the rice paddies water with a glum look and a cat seating on his head.

And hearing laughing and mocking him, Yuji then tries to get his phone back, but Hamada kept letting him not.

“Why you, GIVE BACK MY PHONE!”

As they began to play a game of cat and mouse.

A door suddenly burst open, and they both stopped what they were doing as they turn to see Steve smith their American exchange student, panting out of breath as they also looked at his clothes covered up with blood.

Seeing the blood-covered clothes, Hamada screams.

And hearing her scream, Steve tries to keep her quiet as he does a shush sign to her, worried that it may attract the attention of the dead.

Unfortunately, it did as in some other booth more groans and moans could be heard as bodies were slowly getting up.

And as Steve tries to shush Hamada, who was constantly screaming, while Yuji tries to calm her down. Steve suddenly heard the sounds of many shoes being dragged as he look out to see that to his horror, many dead-like people were slowly approaching closer and closer.

‘SHIT! They are coming, AND THERE’RE MORE OF THEM!!!’

He quickly went inside and then shut the door, using his weight to press his back against the door.

But even with his whole against the door, he could the great push by the group of undead pressing themselves against the door that it even shows a little crack which ``````````then causes him to be even more worried that he is going die alone.

‘Fuck! How the hell are they that strong enough to make such a great force? DAMNIT, WHY ME? I ONLY CAME HERE TO JAPAN SO THAT I CAN PLAY AROUND WITH JAPANESE WOMEN, AND EVEN DATE ONE! FUCK, GOD, WHY ME? WHY DO BAD THINGS ALWAYS HAPPEN TO ME, WHY GOD? WHYYYYYYYYY-‘

“HEY!”

Steve was wakened up from his whiny thoughts as he looked to see Yuji calling him.

“Can you please tell me, what is going on here?”

Yuji looked at Steve as if he doesn’t know what was going on, but he could tell that judging by steve’s bloody clothes, and the banging and pushing from the door, his instance is telling him that something is wrong.

As Steve also looked into Yuji’s questioning eyes, he can already tell that he doesn’t know what is going on.

And he was about to explain, he looked at Hamada, who was still calming down from seeing the sight of blood, he could tell that she is very pretty, especially big her top part. That is when he grins in a perverted way but stops when he notices Yuji is still there, he quickly hides it, hoping that he didn’t see it, which he did not. And he then goes to a scared face as he quickly explained to Yuji.

“I don’t know, bro. But all I know is that these people are now zombies, I think…”

As Steve answered back, suddenly a loud crack was heard as a hole appeared that hands came through the hole waving around as groan and moaning from the dead was heard.

Hearing the sounds of how zombies were heard in many games and movies, both Yuji and Hamada could feel knot ties in their stomachs as they can’t believe that this thing that was once known as fiction, was now a reality.

And as both Yuji and Hamada stood there like statues.

On the other hand, Steve was struggling to hold the door as he could feel his limit was being reached and he could even feel the door was about to break.

‘AHHH FUCK! IF THIS KEPT GOING LONGER, THIS SHITTY DOOR WILL BREAK SOON!’

Steve began to observe around to find anything to escape but seeing that the room is covered up with walls, he began to feel hopeless.

‘This is it, at this rate I am now going to die!’

Steve hit his head on the door and looked at the ceiling waiting for death to come.

But like a stroke of luck, Steve notices at the ceiling a door with a sign that said in Japanese but in English translator that reads:

(In case of fire, please open the emergency ladder leading up to the roof.)

Feeling relieved and safe, he then tries to get Yuji’s attention.

“HEY.HEY! HEY, YOU!”

Yuji was awakened from being scared as he notices Steve was calling him.

Knowing he got his attention. Steve pointed at the ceiling as he begin to give instructions to Yuji.

“Open that door. It will help to get us out of here.”

Not sure what Steve was talking about, but as he followed where Steve was pointing, he could see the emergency exit ladder door.

Seeing the exit, Yuji began to understand what Steve is planning, so he began to try to find a way to open it.

But judging from the height and distance of the ceiling. Yuji knew that he could not reach it alone, so he try to come out with a plan quickly as he could hear the that is holding the zombie out is nearly ready to be broken through.

So he went to Hamada as he grabbed her shoulder and shook her a little to wake her up.

“Wake up Hamada-San! I need your help, so we can escape or otherwise we will be eaten, zombie!”

As Yuji shake hard enough that Hamada was now awake from the shock as she sees Yuji’s face close to her that she blushes.

And despite finding it cute, Yuji quickly snaps back to reality as he looks straight into Hamada’s eyes while blocking her view from seeing the door.

“Listen to me, Hamada-San. Do you see that door at the ceiling that I am pointing to?”

Yuji then point his finger toward the ceiling as Hamada follow to see the door, and then nod back at him.

“This our only way of getting out. So I need you to sit over my shoulders to try to open it.”

After Yuji gave out his instruction to hamada, who understood everything, she gave him a nod.

And seeing her understand it. Yuji smiled at Hamada before crouching down and signalling her to sit on his shoulders. Hamada prepare herself to sit but right after she gave a little warning to him.

“No peeking, ya got that.”

Seeing her stern eyes, Yuji gave a nod of an understatement.

Once Hamada sat on Yuji’s shoulder, he began to stand up. But because of the weight, he struggles to stand and walk as both he and Hamada are now close to the door as Hamada tries to reach the handle but could not.

“A little bit further, Yuji.”

Yuji walks a little bit further enough for Hamada to grab the handle. And with her hand on the handle, Hamada use her might to open it as she swung down open as a ladder was dropped down immediately.

Seeing the Ladder had fallen, Yuji quickly urges Hamada to climb up.

“GO HAMADA-SAN, I WILL FOLLOW YOU SOON.”

Hamada nodded as she climbed off Yuji’s shoulders and climb the ladder.

And as he sees Hamada has already climbed up, he then turns to Steve, who is now struggling to hold on to the door.

“STEVE! WE HAD IT OPEN.”

Steve looks up to see Yuji at the ladder signalling him to come. And as Steve looked at the door, he could see various cracks in the doorframe and the walls.

And as his limits are up, he then runs off from the door as the door was fallen off the frame and a pile of zombie groups all fallen down and without a second, they all start crawling towards steve

And seeing that Steve had already gotten away from the door. Yuji quickly climbs up the ladders as steve follows behind him.

As they both climb, Yuji sees a bright light shining from above he quickly climbs up as he sees Hamada reaching out her hands at him that he took it and was pulled out by her from the exit.

And when he was finally out of the ladder exit. He then looked down to see Steve climbing up as he was almost near to being out.

Suddenly he felt the ladder shaking he looked down to see the same dead student that try to kill him, was now climbing out as he bared his many shark-like fangs ready to bite him which causes steve to climb up faster but his foot suddenly slip as he was about to lose his grip until it was grabbed by both Yuji and Hamada as they together struggle to pull him out.

“QUICK STEVE! WE CAN’T HOLD YOU FOR THAT LONG!”

As they tried to pull him up, Steve managed enough to regain his balance as he placed his feet on the ladder, and without waste, he quickly climbed out from the exit.

And as Steve had already come out. Both Yuji and Hamada quickly close the door of the exit shut as they also placed a sack of bricks that Hamada found nearby on top of the door as It weighs down on it. Which is enough not to be open.

After that, they all fall into exhaustion as everyone rested for a while to catch their breath.

And as they were all catching their breath. They suddenly heard a loud explosion, and they all quickly get up to see something shocking.

In front of what they are seeing, is the chaos and destruction of the prefecture of Fukushima, as many clouds of smoke of fire appear, many screams, cars alarming, and many gunshots and explosions.

As everyone is looking at the current chaos, there is only one thought In their mind. And that is:

‘Is this a dream?’

[ Somewhere in the distance forest of Fukushima]

Somewhere in the deep forest. A bright light suddenly shone, revealing a portal open at the forest's centre.

A lone figure in a hooded cloak walks out of the portal and the portal slowly shrinks as it closes.

The hooded figure then looked at the chaotic Fukushima prefecture.

“Sigh, here we go again…”

The hooded figure walks its way towards the prefecture as a sound of a pistol being cocked echoes in the forest.
