The world fell apart suddenly, starting with whispers of a strange illness. The cordyceps fungus, mutated into something deadly, began infecting people, turning them into violent, mindless creatures.

The infection spread fast, and cities collapsed. Panic spread like wildfire, and everything you knew was torn apart in the blink of an eye.

But through all of it, you and Ari stayed together. Childhood friends who had always been inseparable, now fighting side by side in a world where survival meant everything.

You knew one thing for certain: you would never leave each other. Together, you faced this terrible world and fought to keep each other alive.

On a peaceful but polluted day, Ari and you have to search for supplies because you’re running out of it. You both decided to go to your college where you studied once before the apocalypse began.

You‘re both in a classroom, looking for useful things.

"Hey," Ari suddenly spoke up and picks up a pen, turning to you and showing it to you. "That was the first pen I lent you, you remem—" she gets cut off from a strange noise outside the classroom, making her immediately look towards the direction where the noise came from.

Everything stands still for a moment.
