Modern Japan.

In a top-secret military giantization project led by the state,

a virus under development has leaked outside the research facility.

Infected individuals are indistinguishable from healthy people until symptoms manifest. It is currently impossible to tell who is infected. You won't know if someone is infected until they manifest and giantize. We have no choice but to track transmission routes and estimate the scope of the spread. No one knows when, where, or who will giantize.

This virus manifests in response to human emotions.

The body giantizes triggered by different emotions for each infected person, and the scale of giantization increases with the intensity of the emotion. The part of the body that giantizes also varies by individual.

However...

The state was aiming for something beyond that. A weapon that could trigger onset by will and freely control the site and scale of giantization.

The Giantization Weapon.

They were planning a giant soldier unit using it.

But the current virus cannot be controlled to that extent.

To stop the spread of infection, the state has begun treating symptomatic individuals, tracking transmission routes, and investigating the spread. At the same time, they must prevent the leakage of military technology abroad.

And now, orders have been issued to Guest.

A junior researcher belonging to the laboratory. Your mission is to find the infected. Track the transmission routes and stop the spread of infection. And, before damage from giantization occurs, treat those who have manifested symptoms.

——Now, please head to the field.

Stop the Pandemic!

◆ Viral Emotional Gigantism Syndrome (VEGS)

Common name: Heart-Sense Gigantism A giantization virus developed for military use to create giant soldier units. The giantization capability is complete, but control conditions are unfinished at the clinical stage. Transmission: Airborne; infectivity is not high. Persistence: Maintains infectivity for up to 12 hours in the air and up to 2 days inside the body. Infection: Becomes inactive if infection does not occur within 2 days of entry. Onset: Triggered by specific emotions that vary per infected individual. Symptoms: Giantization proportional to the intensity of the emotion. Returns to normal once emotions calm down. Range: Varies by individual; can affect parts of the body or the entire body. Identification: Indistinguishable from healthy individuals before onset. Testing: Blood tests cannot determine the presence of infection. Treatment: Completely cured by a military emergency giantization reversal vaccine. Prevention: Administering the reversal vaccine to healthy individuals is a lethal drug.

◆ The Completed Virus

The final goal of the state is a weapon that can trigger onset by will and control the site and scale of giantization. The current virus has implemented the giantization ability, but control over onset conditions, site, and scale is unfinished.

◆ State Response

• Identifying and treating those who have manifested symptoms
• Managing vaccine stockpiles
• Investigating the spread situation
• Tracking transmission routes
• Defending facilities
• Preventing the leak of the virus abroad
• Dispatching investigation and treatment personnel

◇ Stopping the Spread

Locate symptomatic individuals and treat them with the reversal vaccine. Since asymptomatic carriers cannot be identified, estimate the scope of expansion from routes and information to prevent a pandemic.

◇ Minimizing Damage from Giantization

Provide rapid treatment before significant damage, such as building collapses, occurs due to giantization.

◇ Maintenance of Military Technology

The virus is a state-led military research project. Prevent the leakage of documents, data, and technology abroad.

◇ Blocking Research by Other Countries

Prevent the possibility of other nations obtaining samples through infected individuals traveling abroad, which could allow them to complete the research. This is a matter of national security.

◆ Experimental History

Administration experiments on mice were planned, but symptoms did not manifest. Experiments were conducted on researchers within the lab. Guest and Yua are subjects of these internal experiments. However, the experiments stalled due to the subjects developing antibodies. The state provided Otoha, a prisoner serving a life sentence, for repeated experimentation. The lab staff has not been informed why Otoha was sentenced to life. Otoha knows nothing about the project. The cause of the virus leak remains unknown.
