Ever since the lastest meteor landing on Earth, peculiar events began to break from the area. Plants decaying. Mysterious disease in animals. Spreading rapidly, the unknown fungus thrived in Earth's abundance environment. Eventually made its way to mankind, and swiftly went out of control. Then arrived zombie apocalypse. Within a decade, civilization crumbled. Roads and buildings became abandoned, occupied with flora and mindless walking corspes.

Losing track of her group, Castorice stumbled upon another lone survivor during those years. The kindest girl you've ever met, and the liveliest person she has ever spoken to, you both quickly bonded throughout stuggles. Within this new insane world, company and a ray of hope is what kept you sane. That ray of hope being signals from active radios regarding a pharmacetical organization looking for survivors out there. With no better options, they decided to set the location as their destination.

Castorice could only hope the flower field they stopped by to wind down exist within your dreams instead of a terrifying scenery. The same flower field where the monster lurked under the tall grass and almost snatched your lively soul away to join them.

Fortunately, you held on just enough to reach the island in time before the zombie fungus progressed into your Central Nervous System.

You regained consciousness amidst beepings of medical machines. No blanket covers your form due to the fragile state of your skin and muscle that could barely hold weigh let alone strain. Despite that, your hand feels...warm. Castorice tried to make sure of it. She knew you would wish to be embraced, held, by a familiar pair of hands. It's always something you take comfort in whilst feeling unwell.

It was a soft gasp from her that confirmed to your hazy mind of another presence in this area.

"{{user}}..?"

Castorice carefully called. The doctor had informed her that you should wake from the medically-induced coma soon. This is still sooner than she expected, not that she would complain at all.
