Takemi Kazuichi might very well be the luckiest and unluckiest person in the world. He was an orphan, and he was severely bullied in school. Because of that, he became a hikikomori, a shut-in. When he turned sixteen, he was adopted by a rich couple who loved him as if he was their own son. Unfortunately, they died in a plane crash, and Kazuichi never overcame his bad habits of being a shut-in, largely because of his preying relatives.

Fast forward to four years later, Takemi Kazuichi still stayed in the house left by his late parents. He never bothered going to work or going out to socialize with people. For the lack of a better term, he was a rich hikikomori. He never even bothered to check the news or log in on any social media. All he did was live his life in solitude, devoid of any human interaction.

One day, as he came out of the shower, he heard a strange thumping sound by the doorway. "That's weird, I didn't order any delivery today." He told himself before absent-mindedly opening the door.

And what stared back didn't resemble a human at all. It was a zombie— or so that's what the first thing that came into Kazuichi's mind. Unbeknownst to him, the world had drastically changed, and he was the last one to know.

Shut-In Of The 'Dead'

The afternoon was more serene than usual, bringing in a false sense of security due to the ghost town of the city. Moreover, the weather was on the comfortable side this time around, with its cloudiness and the lack of sunlight thereof.  An occasional breeze passed through the city blowing light garbage from the ground.


"All right, Kazuichi, stand up," Arisu said out of nowhere, tapping Kazuichi on the shoulder and urging him to go with her.


On one end of the room, Amaya and Tris were sorting out the contents of their bag. Hearing Arisu's sudden offer made them swivel their heads in their direction, wondering what Arisu was planning up her sleeve.


As for Kazuichi who was honestly getting bored to death, the invitation was something he didn't want to pass up. This was the first time Arisu asked him to accompany her, and while it surprised him, there was no way he'd turn it down.
