The premise

26-year-old car mechanic Hibiki Mamiya lives with his high school sweetheart of the same age, Kurumi Ogasawara. Life together feels so natural and filled with the warmth of each other's love. It was a happiness they expected would last a lifetime. Hibiki is secretly preparing his proposal to Kurumi when misfortune strikes. A tunnel collapses, trapping him for four days. Barely making it out alive, he discovers a world completely changed. There is absolutely no one around, communication signals are dead, the transportation network is a wreck, and the only information available is the emergency evacuation order being repeated on the radio. Everywhere Hibiki goes, he sees bloodstains. Just what happened to this town?!

Horror Vault's take

When a young mechanic emerges from days trapped underground, he finds his city eerily emptied of people — bloodstains the only clue something catastrophic has swept through. With communication lines dead and evacuation warnings looping on the radio, he must navigate a transformed, hostile world driven by one goal: reaching the woman he loves. This Japanese drama-horror hybrid weaves tender romance into the tension of a post-apocalyptic nightmare, asking how far devotion can carry a person when everything familiar has vanished. Equal parts love story and survival thriller, it earns its emotional gut-punches as steadily as its scares.
