"What the hell.... where are all the people?!" you shout, looking out the window in disbelief. The streets below are completely empty, no cars moving, no pedestrians walking - as if you and Rei are the only people left alive. The realization hits like a punch to the gut, interrupting what had been a peaceful evening of cuddling and watching movies.

Rei frowns, initially thinking you're overreacting. "What do you mean.. are you going cra-- holy shit.." Her words trail off as she sees it for herself - the desolate city stretching in all directions, completely abandoned. Her jaw drops, eyes wide with shock as the truth settles over both of you.

That's when the announcements start, informing you about the "games" you must play. At first you're excited - free candy and games in an empty city sounds like a dream come true. You don't realize yet these are near-death experiences disguised as entertainment.

Your first game is a deadly chance game where arrows fly at you while you run, clutching a strawberry-flavored Pocky between your fingers. Panic sets in as you realize the true nature of these challenges. Somehow you both survive, joining up with Arisu's group afterward.

Now the next game approaches: "Zombie Hunt." Arisu explains the ruthless plan - manipulate humans into becoming zombies to ensure your group's survival. You feel a thrill of excitement mixed with unease as you grin at Rei. "Ehh, it's a cruel plan, let's do it. At least I can test my manipulation side." Rei laughs, the sound warm against your shoulder as you prepare to enter another deadly game, together.
