It's all my fault. It's all my fault!

Tekko. Tekko?

Tekko, open the door.

I brought you energy drinks and your favorite melon bread.

Tekko!

Tekko?

Tekko!

Heeey!

Tekko? Open the door.

I forgot my keys when you kicked me out.

Tekko?

Are you okay, Tekko?

Tekko?

Tekko. You all right?

Tekko!

Tekko.

I'm... the only unfortunate one...

Tekko, wait...

Tekko! Tekko! Calm down!

Teeth. Teeth!

Calm down!

Tekko!

Hi...deo...

Stop it, Tekko!

I love you so much!

Ow! Ow! Ow! Ow!

It hurts! Tekko! It hurts!

Tekko?

Tekko?

(Those schoolboys fought the man and caused serious injuries.)

(Requires a month to recover.)

(They even attacked the police)

(causing multiple light injuries.)

(A portion of the students ran away and are still on the run.)

(Now, onto the next news.)

(Today, at about 7:20 AM)

(On the highway in Tokyo were 7 chain car accidents.)

(12 people were hurt. 3 of them are kids)

(This happened at the Yoyogi toll booth on Highway #4.)

(Today, at about 7:20 AM, a van rolled over.)

(The remaining 6 cars tried to dodge it but all hit each other in the process.)

(The rolled over van was on fire.)

(The 30 year old male driver of the van died in the hospital.)

Mitani-San?

Oh, Suzuki! You all right?

Come in.

(This just in.)

Why are you in a daze? Come in.

(In the JR Shinjuku stop, an infected man)

Ah! No need to take them off.

(bit a nearby woman.)

(The woman fought back and jumped down to the railroad.)

(But so did the man and he bit her again.)

(The station workers tried to stop the man.)

(But they got bitten as well. Many were hurt.)

(Furthermore, while the firefighters were transporting the woman)

(she...)

Quickly, go draw the Hall.

Are you done drawing?

The deadline's almost here. I'm telling you...

Mi-Chan...

The deadline...

Mi-Chan... where did you go?

The deadline...

Huh? Is the Hall finished?

How resistant!

Just like what the internet says.

If their brains aren't completely destroyed, they won't die.

This is karma! It's because you were fooling around with women!

Can't even trace. Who can draw a Hall in 3 hours?

You damn maggot!

If this is America, I would've ended you with one shot using a handgun.

You wanna try?

Umm...

W...what in the world is going on?

How would I know?

Who do you think I am? God?

I'm sorry.

No, my bad.

I'm just too excited right now.

Suzuki, you didn't get bitten, right?

What happens if you get bitten?

They say if you get bitten, you will get blood infection.

A corporation CEO, a Shogakukan's editor,

and all the successful people are being infected.

People like us who have no social life...

There's no blood.

instead have a higher chance of survival.

They deserve it.

Our era has finally come!

But... but this damn...

This... damn... maggot... actually... bit me!

I will never become a damn maggot!

I'll never let you guys have it your way!

Our era... has come...!

I'm your fan. Please sign for me!

I'm your fan!

Excuse me! Police officer! Officer!

Don't come in here.

This is a forbidden area.

Are you okay?

Ambulance! Call an ambulance!

I want to cut! I want to cut!

I want to cut!

Melon. Melon.

Are you all right?

Let's cook taro! Taro!

Excuse me! Excuse me! Please let me in the car!

Please open the door! Open the door!

Let me in! Let me in too!

Hello?

I'm always under your care.

Taxi!

Hey! Open the door!

Wait, I'm here first! You!

Wait, don't go yet! Don't leave yet!

Go! Go! Quickly!

Go quickly!

Get on a highway. To the countryside!

Faster!

(There have been multiple incidents and fires this morning.)

(Today's News just interviewed the Metropolitan Police Department)

(And they acknowledged that there are riots in Roppongi and other districts.)

(But they did not mention the scale of those attacks)

(And if there are any injuries.)

(They have no answers for now.)

(The government has...)

(Fires centered around Akihabara and...)

(To fight this new contagious virus...)

(To rectify the mistake, the riot police...)

(...are the scones!)

(It's raising my spirits!)

(Onee-chan is looking forward to it too.)

Thank god.

It's all right. If Tokyo TV is still showing anime, then it's okay.

(Sorry to interrupt. We're now broadcasting urgent news.)

(Since this morning, the city...)

No way.

What happened to the Self-Defense Force?

No permission to shoot?

Even if they were citizens before

they aren't humans anymore now.

Kill everyone if you have to. Even the prime minister.

This country will be destroyed!

Quickly, notify the Counselor.

Hello? Hello?

What the hell was that?

The poor only know how to claim their rights.

But can't even pay their taxes!

I have to reschedule everything.

(Number of injured people has reached over 2000 in Tokyo.)

(It has reached 5500 in Kanto.)

Who dirtied this?

How can I read it now?

Hey, you, the poor!

Give me a tissue!

What?

I said tissue!

Here. Here.

Give me high quality meat.

Mr. Driver! Mr. Driver! Stop the car!

(Gov. Official) Meat!!!

Customer, don't get too agitated!

Don't get too agitated!

Meat. Grilled beef tongue.

I was once named an excellent driver.

Mr. Driver, you didn't do anything wrong. It's okay.

Zero accidents. Never broke the law.

For 30 years!

Zero accidents. Never broke the law.

For 30 years!

The back! Get back here!

Safe. Fast. Clean.

Wholehearted hospitality!

Wholehearted hospitality!

Seat belt.

Seat belts!

We're about to collide!

I'm still alive.

Are you okay?

Are you all right?

Whew, good.

Be careful.

ZQN?

The virus will corrupt personalities

and the bodies will go through irregular changes.

ZQN?

You won't get infected in high altitudes.

If you are on Mt. Fuji, the virus will die.

They want us to climb Mt. Fuji?

It's gonna turn off.

Oh no.

Mt. Fuji.

Melon bread.

Thank you.

Is that gun real?

Why didn't you use it back then?

I would be breaking the Gun Control Law just by taking it out in public.

Huh? Then what about now?

Right now, it's dark.

And there are only two of us here.

It's like a protection charm.

Protection charm, huh?

Yeah.

This is my protection charm.

Here.

Hmm?

Half an earphone.

Give me a home where the buffalo roam

My mom used to sing this to me when I was small.

I see.

My name's Hiromi.

What about you, Mister?

I'm Hideo.

Hideo written as "Hero".

Hero.

So you're a hero.

It's only a name though.

It feels like I'll be fine as long as I'm with you, Hideo.

Being with you also makes me feel safe.

What are you...

What you just said has a deep meaning to guys.

Even though it was a compliment.

... exchange my home on the range

For all of the cities so bright

No, no.

That's a crime.

Neck. Your neck!

That's...

It was a baby.

What?

I was bitten by my neighbor's baby.

It was 2 days ago or so.

What about the baby?

I don't know. It looked normal.

But if it can spread from breast milk

Then the baby has ZQN too.

I probably

will get ZQN too.

You can kill me.

There's nothing left for me in this world anyway.
