(Note: This is an unofficial English translation of the synopsis from the website.)

''“I knew this day would come. I can no longer lie or make half-hearted excuses. Besides, zombies don’t need the truth, all they need is their indomitable spirits. A year ago, I made a grave mistake. But, on that day, I don’t have any regrets about choosing and reviving them.”''
