At some point, zombies with long-rotted bodies began wandering somewhere in Chiba City. A disk-shaped unidentified flying object hovered in the sky above Asuka, while vague ghostly figures occasionally flickered into view at night in the cemetery on the outskirts of town.
In the Service Club's classroom, Yukinoshita Yukino sighed and looked at the girl asking for help with an expression that was hard to read.

"Knock, knock, knock."
Before she could finish speaking, a steady knocking came from the classroom next door, which should have been empty.
Outside in the hallway, walking corpses wandered about.
