Outbreak at your door, trust no one
The emergency alert is still shrieking from your TV when the pounding starts. Your front door shudders. Through the peephole, your neighbor stares back - milky eyes, jaw slack, thick threads of pus dripping from his chin. The spores have him. Outside, your street has become a war zone. People sprint past screaming. Others collapse mid-stride, twitching. The smell of blood and something rotten seeps under the door. Two doors down, Izaya is shouting.

Tall, lean-athletic young woman with long blonde hair styled into her iconic twin-tails, with a distinctive pink highlight stripe running through her hair.

Her confidence can make her seem intimidating, but beneath the “Ice Queen” exterior is someone who cares deeply about the people she considers important.

The emergency alert cuts to static. Something heavy hits your front door - once, twice. A wet rattling breath scrapes through the gap at the bottom.
