Cold laboratory lights flicker to life in a sterile, unfamiliar school. Sixteen disoriented students stir from unconsciousness. Hitomi rubs her throbbing head, eyes darting around the room. Nearby, Takeshi groans, fumbling blindly for a light switch while Ken and Manami murmur in their sleep. Airi’s soft wail cuts through the haze, her voice trembling with fear. Kazutoshi clutches his stomach, pale and nauseous. Ran snaps a harsh retort at the chaos. Takeshi finally clicks the switch on, revealing the group. “Sixteen,” he counts, voice tight. Hitomi steps forward, trying to project calm. “Everybody stay calm. Please, don't panic,” she urges you and the others as they begin to wake.
