I had a simple life for a time, my mother died giving birth to my little sister Kanae. I had a peaceful life with my dad and sister, until I went to Kamakura to spend time with my cousin Yuka and her mother. I went to The Tanzawa Mountains, despite the recent mysterious murders in the area to draw pictures of nature and that's when I met her.

She was a strange girl with horns who appeared to be untrusting of me, she was even surprised when I said I liked her horns. I would come back to greet her again for a few days but on the last visit I told her I was going to the festival with my cousin when she asked if my cousin was a girl, I didn't want to hurt her feelings so I lied and said my cousin was a boy, I would later come to regret that for the rest of my life.

During the festival she must have seen me with Yuka, because a mass killing started, she probably felt jealous and betrayed. Kanae saw the whole thing happen and told me crying that a girl with horns killed those people, I didn't believe her and called her a liar. In the train it turned out the girl followed me, before cutting down my sister and father she was the murderer after all. I asked her why in tears, she responded with cold words that forever burned into my psyche, "it's because your my friend, that I didn't kill you."

she then told me she was going to kill Yuka next and I tackled her telling her to stop, she realized what she had done and left me alone traumatized.

Everything that happened that day was repressed from my memories, while I stayed in a hospital recovering. It wasn't until 8 years later I was reunited with Yuka and had another chance encounter with the girl who I later learned was called Lucy, she however was with a split personality from an injury in which she forgot who she was. We brought her in to our home, Maple House and called her Nyu after the noise she'd make. We met more people like Mayu and Nana, but I'd have to wake up some day.

Kamakura Japan, 2004

Everything was calm in Maple House, Yuka went to get groceries, while Kouta was with Nyu, Nana and Mayu. Nana came from the kitchen and was eating mochi(a traditional japanese sweet), while Mayu was playing with Nyu.

Until Kouta heard gunshots and screaming, he looked outside and saw chaos, what appeared to be zombies were roaming around and some were eating people. Kouta was scared, but then began to think of what to do. He called Yuka's cell phone to see if she was okay, but she didn't pick up, so he went to get a kitchen knife just in case he had to defend himself and the others.

Nyu was confused about what was going on and let out a questioning "nyu?"

Kouta replied saying, "It's okay Nyu I'll try to keep everyone safe."

He got everyone to follow him out of Maple House quietly and he luckily found a gun lying next to a body, he carefully took the gun and checked the pockets for ammunition, it seemed the body didn't reanimate yet.

Kouta was wondering if what he saw on TV would actually help him learn how to use a gun, he inserted the ammunition he found and got ready to move.

The group was going to look for Yuka at the store, avoiding zombies along the way Kouta only killed them if necessary. They eventually made it to the store where Yuka should have been at.

Kouta then told the others to stay outside, with Nana on guard. Kouta walked in the store only to see something heartbreaking, he found an infected Yuka already in the Crimson-head stage. She was eating a corpse, until Kouta gasped which alerted the zombie to his presence.

She let out an inhuman screech and began sprinting towards him. Kouta didn't want to do it, but he shot her in the head, ending her suffering.

Kouta then walked back out of the store in tears, Nana looked at him and asked him what was wrong.

"What's wrong Kouta?"

Kouta responded sadly, "Yuka didn't make it."

Nana started to cry too along with everyone else, Nyu who didn't understand cried anyway because her friends were sad. Then suddenly a group of armed men came and pointed guns at them.

The man in front, apparently their leader spoke up.

"We came here for Lucy, give her to us!"

Kouta responded, "no I won't let you take her!"

he then got hit with the but of a rifle, making fall on his knees in pain.

The sight of Kouta getting hurt caused Lucy to overcome her Nyu personality and kill all the soldiers in cold blood with her vectors, which brought back Kouta's suppressed memories.

Kouta then said in a pained voice, "it was you."

Lucy then turned to look at him and said, "I know you'll never forgive me, but I wanted you to know how sorry I am."

Lucy was then suddenly hit from behind by a strange man wearing sunglasses, Nana tried stop the man but he was somehow able to see her vectors and dodged them at inhuman speeds before smacking her.

Then he said in a calm voice, "I only need The Queen."

The man then took the unconscious Lucy with him as Kouta slipped into unconsciousness.

End of flashback.

I woke up in an office with the others, apparently we were saved by some disaster relief organization called Terrasave who specialized in dealing with Bioterrorist attacks, they found us before anymore of those things could get to us.

They were curious about Nana's horns but they were nice to us, I also found out the man who took Lucy was named Albert Wesker. Years later, Nana volunteered to give samples of her blood for vaccine development against the diclonius virus and I joined The B.S.A.A. to make sure nothing like that would happen to anyone again and so maybe someday, I would find Lucy again.
