Las medidas del gobierno para afrontarlo se estudian en el más absoluto secreto.

Sin embargo, esta información se ha mantenido oculta con la idea de no alterar a la población, prohibiéndose su divulgación hasta que pase el fenómeno. Fuyuki Kuga, detective de la Jefatura de Policía de Tokio, y su hermano mayor, Seiya, inspector de policía adscrito a la misma Jefatura, se ocupan en esos momentos de un asunto de atraco a mano armada, pero, debido a un error de Fuyuki, Seiya resulta herido de bala por un miembro del grupo criminal al que persiguen. Por su parte, Fuyuki recibe también un balazo de los delincuentes y se desmaya. Cuando recobra el conocimiento, constata que no queda nadie en las calles de Tokio. Deambulando por la ciudad, sin comprender qué está pasando, encontrará a otras diez personas que han sufrido el mismo fenómeno. Entre ellas se halla también, inexplicablemente, su hermano Seiya, quien en buena lógica debería estar muerto.

Closing in on Alvarez, he tries to interview the crossing guard who was on duty the day the wreck occurred. On arriving at the man's apartment, he finds the man bludgeoned to death--with the same stick with which Tyler beat the black man all that time ago. It's time to get paranoid.
