Regrets became evident on Reina’s face after he had killed his enemy, Gen Yamashita, a young scientist who created the zombie virus that spread across Japan. He knows that he is the one who causes the death of his parents, but he soon realizes that vengeance is not the way to go. Instead, he became a monster like Gen, and he was devastated by it.
  Now, he decided to save Gen from his death, and after that, he became depressed and blamed himself for making the virus outbreak worse. It seems that he would be a broken person full of regrets.
  But, he will not last long in his painful depression. Gen came and reconciled with him, renewing their wills to live life again. Now they are racing against the clock to reverse Gen’s mistakes that wreak havoc across Japan. They will not do that huge and seemingly impossible mission themselves. Two of Gen’s subordinates, Arashi Hoshikawa and Nato Hokawa, and a pair of twin young women, Mara and Martha Buenavista, will accompany them in their mission, alongside Gen’s organization. Will this be a golden ticket for both Gen and Reina to a better life and future?

I now believed in one thing: psychological cleansing of my sins. It is thus different from spiritual cleansing, because, in my own definition, it is the act of cleansing myself of my sins psychologically, meaning it is about alleviating my trauma and sins by psychological means. Because of that, I started to believe and take it very seriously. I will not disregard my hopes and dreams; I just postponed them for a couple of months or even a year. I needed a clean slate before I would even enter Tokyo University again.


 After another dream of the tortures of mercy, I got up one 6 a.m. and wrote down that in my spiral-bound notebook (for I felt unworthy of touching my violet agenda journal because of my guilt; it was used before the zombie outbreak shattered my world). I felt I wanted to make a serum that allows me to survive any assault and heal my wounds. Maybe this sublimation of syringes and vials associating with zombie viruses would be put into good use. I can imagine them pulling out the vials and the syringes from their tactical vests and infecting me with it, recycling their act of terror on civilians the day before my vengeance against Gen broke me. I can hear their old line of terror that had been modified for me: Time to be purged of your despair (a stark permanent departure from "Time to be a variable for a new experiment").


To be honest, I was a psychology student in my sophomore year before Gen unleashed the virus beyond Yami Kuro Yama's walls.
