Tsukasa replied "What do you want from me?"

"Come to me, with Ruu-chan on your side." The voice from the other end said.

"Is somebody trying to screw with us...?" Kouichi asked.

"I don't like where this is going..." Kurumi said.

They turned around to see that they left the entrance to the morgue is left open, and zombies began to wander towards it.

Kouichi ran and closed the door, and barricaded it by pushing a shelf.

"Find a way out, Tsu. We'll deal with them."

Tsukasa nodded.

She explored the morgue for a moment, there are cabinets and drawers everywhere on the table where the morgue utensils were usually kept. She managed to find some food items, and a rib spreader.

"This should come in handy..."

Tsukasa then wandered the morgue again, and noticed that there's an elevator inside. She pressed the up button but nothing happened.

"No power. I guess the emergency power for the bunker has run out. No choice then..." She sticks the rib spreader on the door.

She then tries to pry it open, however halfway through, Tsukasa felt her vision going blurry. Her bite felt tingly and she herself went numb. She fell to the floor, crawled back to the others for help but she went out cold a few steps later.

"What the hell happened!?" Kouichi's face is heard.

Tsukasa had trouble opening her eyes. She sees Kurumi crouching down to investigate her.

"I don't know... Tsu!? Wake up! What happened!? You alright... Damn it! When the hell did this happened? God damnit, Tsu!"

Tsukasa went back out cold. Moments later she finally got the strength to open her eyes fully.

"Alright... This has to be done... Sorry buddy, I have to do it..." The first thing Tsukasa sees, is Kurumi holding a bonesaw over her arm.

"DON'T KILL ME!" Tsukasa shouted, as she woke up completely.

"Stop! She's awake!" Kouichi said.

Kurumi puts the bonesaw down on the table.

"You bastard! How the hell could you not tell us!?" Kurumi shouted.

"I'm sorry..." Tsukasa bowed her head down.

"When did it happen?" Kouichi asked.

"I thought you got a freaking stroke, falling down like that!"

"It happened right before, everything."

"Well... We think that we can stop you from turning by cutting your arm. I know it's a risk." Mei explained.

"Do we know it wouldn't kill her?" Kouichi asked.

"We don't know anything!" Kurumi replied.

"Is there gonna be a lot of blood?"

"There is going to be a workload of blood." Mei replied.

"What if she dies?"

"Then we will go back to the house. What I say that we should do this... There's maybe a chance to stop you from turning." Kurumi replied.

"Hey... I'm awake, hearing it all you know?" Tsukasa said.

"Sorry."

"What should we do now?" Kouichi asked.

"Cut it off." Tsukasa replied.

"Y... You sure?" Kouichi asked again.

"Yeah...." Tsukasa then placed her arm on the table.

Kurumi hesitated taking the bonesaw again, since Tsukasa is awake. Mei took it instead, and puts it over her arm.

"Ready?"

"Fast would be good. You know-- AAHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!" The blade of the bonesaw then cuts deep into the bones.

"AAHHHHHH!!!!! STOOOPPPP!!!!!"

"Hold on!" Mei yelled. She hesitated, but regardless she strikes the arm again this time cutting it off totally.

Tsukasa passed out.

When she woke up she sees that her now handless left arm has been covered with bandages, and a tourniquet.

"Wow... I can't believe someone as shy as you live through that." Kurumi had to say that. Had to.

"It hurts a lot... But I guess I wouldn't turn."

"Thank goodness." Kouichi sighed.

"We opened the elevator doors after you passed out. We'll climb our way out."

"You guys can go ahead. I don't want to bleed on you." Tsukasa suggested as she sees that the elevator shaft is not using stairs like back at Randall, but a ladder.

It's understandable, since Tsukasa's still bleeding, even with bandages on.

They went up, to the hospital's roof to find themselves on a helipad. Once they got out from the elevator shaft they see a poster on the wall.

"This hospital is supposed to be an evacuation site. Too bad that it ended up infested even with preparations like that bunker..." Tsukasa said, after reading the poster.

They find an fire escape stairs on the roof, and go back down. They then walked back to the house, with Tsukasa having only one arm.
