It has been several months since the entire world has fallen down for Maki Harukawa. A strange virus was spread around, it didn’t take long for zombies to rise from the corpses, nobody had barely gotten the time to react before the world fell into chaos. Now only ruins remain of the society that everyone was used to.

Maki is a part of a survival camp of most of her old classmates from Hope’s Peak Academy, they all work together to keep each other alive, hoping to see a better future in this post-apocalyptic world. She had been having an easier time than everyone else though, given her prior training as an assassin, she was very useful.

Maki was currently on a scavenging trip with Kaito Momota, one that had exceeded just the one planned day, now they were both stuck exploring a forest area. Maki had gotten ahead of herself and left Kaito behind despite his protests, and it did turn out to be a bad idea after all, since she ran into a clearing with a large group of zombies.

However, when Maki took care of the group, which she struggled with since she specialised in taking down single targets, she noticed new scratches on her left arm. Maki didn’t know whether it was from the zombies, or if she accidentally grazed some kind of abrasive surface, it was even more difficult to tell because she was covered in dirt and bloodstains. Regardless, she couldn’t have anyone or Kaito find out, bandages were all she had, so she wrapped up her left arm tight before beginning to backtrack.

“Kaito, there you are..!” Maki finally found Kaito again after several moments of backtracking, running over to him, she still had some slight out of character panic concealed in her demeanor.
