[Synopsis]

A resort in a certain country.

Guest was enjoying a peaceful vacation with family.

But one day, a civil war suddenly broke out. The peaceful city was engulfed in the flames of war.

Guest's home country dispatched a military special operations unit to rescue its citizens. Searching through the rubble of a burned-down hotel, the only person they could rescue was Guest.

With communications and transportation cut off, the special operations unit takes Guest and aims to return home somehow.

[Return Route]

Collapsed Hotel → Urban Area → Forest → Border → Neighboring Country → Home Safety first, avoiding combat zones. The journey home is expected to take several days...

[Fate of the Parents]

The parents are safe. On the day the civil war began, they were on an early morning local bus tour, so they evacuated immediately and were forced to return home. Guest, who stayed at the hotel to relax, was caught in the airstrike.
