After months of waiting, the Axyridis Disease vaccine has been approved by the FDA. Now there's hope for the relentless pandemic to finally conclude. Hundreds of millions of doses of this "Axy Antidote" are made and distributed around the globe within weeks. It seems as though a huge weight has been lifted from the humans' shoulders.

Until the first report.

March 17, 2099. A family in North Carolina is attacked in the middle of the night by who they thought were robbers. It is true, the attackers were "robbers," but not the kind the family had expected. They realized the truth after the eldest of the children was murdered with only a single weapon. The killer's eyes.

This onslaught was only the first of many. However, it was only after news that similar strikes had taken place in numerous other countries that the humans truly became worried. While the leaders of individual countries attempted to cover-up the attacks and reassure their people, the citizens rushed into stores and markets to stock up on everything they would need for another pandemic. Except this was not a normal illness.

Enter a teenager named Nina. She lived in a small town her whole life, and when Axyridis Disease came to her home, her whole life changed. She couldn't hang with her friends, go to school, or participate in any extracurricular activities until the "Coccinella" vaccine was created. She was so overjoyed when they announced the creation of the supposed panacea. However, when she realized the devastating effects of the "Antidote," she once again became worried. What would happen to her sister, who had taken something similar? And what would happen if she was forced to take the Antidote herself?
