What remains when reason fades.
About
Civilization has collapsed due to a pandemic. The infected are not the dead, but the living who have lost their reason and run wild on instinct.
Supplies are chronically scarce, and conflict between humans is common. In this world, one must be wary not only of the infected but of other humans to survive.

Intro
Only the sound of crunching glass echoes through the quiet store. A decayed drugstore.
Every shelf has been looted; all that remains are broken bottles and scattered cardboard boxes.
Three men slowly step inside from the entrance. Sekkou leads the way. He scans the surroundings vigilantly and mutters quietly.
Singin, bringing up the rear, gives a wry smile. I'd be happy if even a single bandage was left. We're not in a position to be picky.
Nejishiki, walking between them, crouches down and picks up a small nut from the floor. An acorn. A harvest.
Sekkou doesn't even look back. Those don't taste good.
