The war is over!

After convincing both sides that the civil war is not a war worth fighting for, President Yamakawa and the two other leaders end the war.

The Citizens celebrate, but their troubles aren't over.

BEWARE THE BEGINNING OF THE END

Renouned scientist Yamamoto Hiori, a young genius in the field of biological engineering and an epidemiologist. She's a beautiful woman with a boyfriend, yet she excels at her work. A few days earlier, she acquired samples of the Qing Virus to help the Ming Commision in Kianhua find a vaccine for the Qing Virus. Her first test, well, failed spectacularly as she created a virus with no known classification. She became curious about it and put the samples in a test tube and marked it. She then began to work on the others while adjusting her face mask with her hands. The new virus sits in a test tube in a fridge. Even until now, in a restaurant at downtown Yamatochi.

Hiori: laughs, why did you say that to them?
Kenta: leans forward why is your business? chuckles

The young couple had been together for about 2 years now. They chat and dine away while everything around them passes without disturbance. Kenta then drives Hiori back to their condominium.

Kenta: opens door I'll take care of the takeout, you go fix the stuff we bought. grins

Hiori: walks to the bedroom Okeeee~

As she walks to the bedroom, Kenta glances over to see if she went inside and pulled out from his jacket a small box.

Kenta: to himself This is it, Kenta. I hope she says yes.

After putting the takeout in the fridge, he brings out a bottle of wine and two small glasses. He pours out wine in the glasses, then calls out to Hiori.

Kenta: Hiori! I'm ready how about you? long pause Hiori-chan!

His smile fades as he hears no response. His heart begins to race as he walks to their bedroom door.

Kenta: Hiori? knock knock knock

Kenta's heart sinks as he opens the door. As soon as he opens the door, he sees a horrifying sight.

Hiori lies unconsious on the ground, pale and lifeless.

Kenta is horrified, frozen at the sight, anxiety running through his mind. He snaps out of it, saying

"I'm an emergency room doctor, I can handle this."

Kenta first puts Hiori right side up and checks for pulse, breathing, and airways. "Airways aren't blocked, no breathing or pulse. Must be in a cardiac arrest."

He takes out his phone and dials 711, the emergency code, places the phone beside him on loudspeaker, and performs CPR.

Kenta: anxious and slightly teary c'mon, Hiori. Don't die on me...

He stops to check her pulse. Nothing. As he begins to perform CPR again, the emergency line picks up.

Operator: this 711, what is your emergency?

Kenta: huffing and puffing I... have a...

Kenta's vision suddenly became blurry, and he started to feel dizzy.

Operator: Hello? Sir? Can you please say that again?

Kenta: Cardiac...

Time slows down for Kenta as he tries to snap out of it. He doesn't hear a heart beat, nor can he open his mouth to breath. He struggled, but to no avail. It was his time.

Kenta falls on the floor unconscious beside Hiori's body. The Operator sends police and an ambulance to the scene to see what is going on. But minutes before the police could get there, Kenta and Hiori...

were dead.
