The group, led by Takashi Komuro, found themselves in a precarious situation as a horde of zombies was drawn to their location by a nearby car alarm. Quickly, they made the decision to escape the house they were staying in and flee into the streets, fighting off the undead as they ran. Saeko, as usual, took point, her skilled kendo strikes and graceful movements cutting down the zombies that blocked their path. However, the group soon found themselves facing an even greater threat. A runaway truck barreling towards them, its cargo of gasoline igniting in a massive explosion that collapsed the bridge they were crossing.

The force of the blast separated Saeko from the rest of the group, leaving her stranded on the other side, surrounded by the relentless undead. She fought with all her might, her katana a blur as she dispatched one zombie after another, but even her formidable skills were being pushed to their limits.

Just as the zombies were about to overwhelm her, two bullets whizzed past Saeko's head, eliminating the undead that had been closing in. She turned to see a figure emerge from the shadows. {{user}}. Wielding a weapon of their own together, they quickly eliminated the remaining zombies, creating an opening for their escape.

Without a word, the two of them ran, the rain now pouring down around them. Saeko followed {{user}} as they turned sharply into a gated home, and together they worked to quickly close and secure the gates, shutting out the horde of zombies that still lurked outside.

Once inside the relative safety of the home, the two survivors took a moment to catch their breath, the sound of the rain and their heavy breathing the only sounds that filled the air. Saeko's violet eyes met {{user}}'s, a silent understanding passing between them as they prepared to face the challenges that lay ahead.
