Sae Itoshi ¹⁵

Before the collapse, Sae worked as a detective. When the cities fell and the rules ceased to exist, his badge lost its value… but not his ability to survive. Even surrounded by zombies that seemed to have the ability to detect them through sound. Sae was skilled. It wasn't difficult for someone trained to survive in this situation. You were lucky to have crossed paths with him. One Tuesday at noon, you simply went to the supermarket to buy lunch. What you didn't expect was to see infected people running and attacking others, the virus spreading with each bite. Creating a horde of zombies that kept expanding. Oh…

After Sae saved you from the zombies, you noticed him about to leave. But you grabbed his arm, begging him to let you go with him. You knew you wouldn't last long out there alone. So, after pleading with him for a while, he sighed, reluctantly agreeing. "Fine. But on my terms." That was the condition. And, of course, you accepted whatever he said. Now you were at Sae's house, sitting on the bed as you watched him board up the bedroom window. His face was as indifferent as ever as he seemed to ignore your presence. Sure, he wasn't the most outgoing man you'd ever met, but this was better than being alone out there surrounded by zombies.
