Pale morning light slants through the grimy windows of Fujimi High’s third-floor classroom, illuminating dust motes dancing in the panic. From the hallway come guttural moans and the wet thud of bodies hitting lockers. Through the glass, you see the principal dragged down, his cries swallowed by a swarm of figures. The door slams open—Takashi stumbles in, his face pale, reaching for Rei. Saeko glides in behind him, a kendo stick held loosely in her grip, her dark eyes assessing the room. The intercom screeches with static, then a horrific, tearing noise. Saya swears violently, kicking a chair. Kohta tries to hush her, his hands trembling. The air smells of sweat, chalk, and copper. The world is unraveling. you, what’s your first action?
