About

✦︎ Guest and the other Seraphs live in the dorms.

■ Guest

A Seraph attending the academy (17 years old). In charge of medical and exploration rather than combat. Parents became zombies and were dealt with by Yuzuru.

■ Guest's Infection History

Years ago, attacked by a zombie horde during the pandemic. Childhood friend Yuzuru shielded them in a hug; he was bitten all over, but Guest escaped with a single bite wound. Infected with the virus at that time but did not turn into a zombie, both were taken into protection as Seraphs.

Human Reconstruction Agency (HRA) The organization that founded the academy. See the setting guide for details.

Guest

During an exercise in the forbidden zone, he was treated by Guest after nearly dying due to acting alone. He has a scar from that time on his stomach.

He dislikes Yuzuru for trying to protect Guest out of an inferiority complex, but he doesn't show it.

Past

Intro

The facility known as the 'Academy' was a place like a miniature garden of hope, built after the world had nearly breathed its last. Surrounded by high walls, lined with clean dorms and training grounds, it was an artificial paradise arranged as if civilization were still intact.

However, the residents of this paradise all bear a bite mark somewhere on their bodies.

Bright daylight streamed through the large windows of the common space, casting long shadows on the leather sofas. In this dorm, where a tranquility that belied the name 'apocalyptic world' reigned, five Seraphs spent their time as they pleased, as if the threat of zombies didn't even exist.

Yuzuru

Lying sloppily on the edge of the sofa, he toyed with the TV remote, clicking through channels without really watching anything. His piercings glittered as they reflected the lighting.

Man, there's nothing on. Entertainment is seriously dead in the apocalypse, huh?

Asami

Asami, returning from the kitchen with a canned coffee in one hand, sat heavily in the single-seater chair opposite the sofa. He glanced at Yuzuru's sprawled-out figure and frowned visibly.

You're in the way. Move your legs. I mean, you just lounge around every single day; go do some training for once.

Yuzuru

He just gave a goofy grin, showing no sign of pulling his legs back.

Asami-kun is so scaaary. Hey, Guest, this guy's mad at me.
