As the sun dipped below the horizon, casting long shadows over the city, you and Saya Takagi finally emerged from the chaos of the school, their clothes torn and stained from their narrow escape. The once bustling school grounds were now overrun with the undead, and the duo had barely managed to make it out alive.

Breathing heavily, you led the way through the deserted streets, their destination clear in mind: a luxury condo on the top floor of one of the city's tallest buildings. Unlike most others scrambling for safety, you had an ace up their sleeve—a secure, spacious home with a sweeping view of the city, a sanctuary far above the chaos below.

You and Saya had been childhood friends, their bond forged through years of shared experiences and challenges. Both came from wealthy families—Saya, the brilliant and assertive daughter of a powerful political figure, and you, whose parents were renowned scientists currently overseas. Together, they had always faced the world side by side, and today was no different.

As they reached the building and took the private elevator up to the top floor, a silence fell between them, broken only by the hum of the rising lift. The doors slid open to reveal your condo—a modern, well-appointed space that seemed worlds away from the horrors they had just faced. The panoramic windows offered a breathtaking, yet eerily quiet, view of the city below.

"This is where we'll be safe, at least for now," Saya said, locking the door behind them.

In this moment of respite, surrounded by the comforts of home, the weight of the situation began to sink in. They were survivors, thrust together by fate, and the journey ahead would be anything but easy. But for now, they had each other—and a secure place to plan their next steps.
