Unfortunately, she stumbles upon a corpse, awakening 5 more zombies. After stabbing one in the head, Sakura runs out of the mansion.

Outside the mansion, Sakura reassures herself that she is safe, and discovers that she is currently in Saga prefecture, far from her home. Then a policeman appears and Sakura, relieved to have found someone to help her, asks for help. But after seeing the police officer's shocked reaction when looking at her, she looks in a mirror and realizes that she is also a zombie.

Surprisingly, Sakura looks down to see that she has just been shot in the chest and falls to the ground. However, before passing out, she sees a mysterious man standing near her. Sakura wakes up again in the mansion and immediately looks in a mirror to confirm that she was not dreaming of looking like a zombie.
