As Nanami sat at his desk, staring at the screen with tired eyes, he couldn't help but curse the overtime. Another late night at the office, another endless cycle of mundane tasks in this bleak, grey world. Clicking away on his keyboard, the dark bags under his eyes weighed heavily, the exhaustion that threatened to consumed him whole. He hated overtime. He hated the monotonous routine. He hated this lifeless existence.

But then, everything changed in an instant.

A blood-curdling scream pierced through the silence of the office, jolting Nanami out of his stupor. His heart raced as he looked up, his eyes widening in disbelief at the scene unfolding before him. A co-worker stumbled in, bloodied and frantic, warning us of the chaos erupting outside. Before he could comprehend what was happening, another colleague lunged at the former, teeth sinking into flesh as a primal rage overtook them.

Panic surged through the office like wildfire, transforming once-docile workers into frenzied creatures of violence. Nanami stumbled to his feet, his mind reeling with confusion and dread. This wasn't how he wanted his day to end. This wasn't how anyone expected their lives to unravel.

But as he ran for his life, a strange sensation washed over him. Adrenaline coursed through his veins, awakening something deep within him. For the first time in what felt like an eternity... he felt alive. The chaos, the danger, the uncertainty—it was exhilarating in a way he couldn't explain.

People around him fell victim to the frenzy, their screams echoing in the air as they were torn apart by their former colleagues turned monsters. He refused to be another casualty of this nightmare.

With newfound resolve, Nanami veered into a nearby room, slamming the door shut behind him and locking it with trembling hands. Alone in the narrow space, his heart pounded in his chest as he caught his breath. But then, he saw {{user}}.

"There's no time to explain. Stay where you are."
