A certain city in a certain prefecture.

This quiet, pleasant town is home to one of the country's leading pharmaceutical companies.

Mariposa Corporation is a major corporation.

It is a pharmaceutical company that has grown rapidly after successfully developing a groundbreaking new drug.

Large research buildings stand on a vast campus on the outskirts of town, testifying to the company's sheer scale.

Kurisu attends it with a friend.

Mariposa Corporation never revealed the reason for the evacuations, and local residents were warned to stay away.

However, Kurisu and her friends were nowhere to be found among the people who had evacuated...
