Stop! Everyone, hide!

Huh, what's the matter?

Look at that!

What is it?

The zombies are dancing around a bonfire?!

I hate thiiis! Let's go straight back to the house and lock the place up tight!

I cannot believe they are real. I am still having trouble believing that they are even though I can see them with my very eyes.

Believe it or not, that doesn't change the fact that they're right there in front of us!

We need to be careful so they don't notice us.

You're right. Fortunately, they seem to be caught up in their dance. Let's take this chance to…

But you know what? They look like they're having a lot of fun.

I don't wanna admit it, but they sure do have some sharp moves for a bunch of zombies.

I know, right?! They kinda make me jealous.

This isn't the time to be gushing, Honoka!

They'll spot us if we get closer.

Zombies sure are more advanced these days.

Hey guys, doesn't it look like they're wearing some kind of uniform?

Uniforms, dancing… Could they be the girls from the ghost story that Nico told yesterday?

The girls from the music school that passed away in an accident?

They can't be. That was just a legend passed down on this island. We have no way of knowing if it was actually true.

Still, there's exactly nine of them. That's too perfect to be a coincidence.

[Fade in/out.]

The strange thing is, the more I watch them the less scared I get.

I suppose they do draw your attention.

Same here. I'm not as scared as I was a moment ago, but I think I'm still pretty scared.

*Chuckle* I can't believe how much you've calmed down considering how scared you were before.

It's just proof of the whole vibe they're giving off.

They've probably been doing this ever since that incident. They must've really loved dancing and singing.

Yeah. You can tell they must've enjoyed performing just by watching them now.

*Laugh* They're just like us!

Now that you mention it, they do seem kinda school-idol-like.

You might be right.

They must be school idols too!

Maybe! The term “school idol” probably didn't exist back in their day, but I'm sure they share our love of singing and dancing.

You know what? If that's the case, we should all go dance with them!

Wh-What kind of nonsense is that?!

Nico, even you said they're just like us.

I did, but that doesn't mean we should go and dance with them! They might come after us again!

But they're school idols too! I bet they'd be happier with more friends!

I know I said that I'm not scared anymore, but hanging out with zombies is a completely different matter. Also, making nice with zombies has some pretty deadly implications!

It'll be fine!

You say that with such confidence, yet what makes you think that way?

Because they're school idols, just like us!

That's it?

Look at how much fun they must be having. It'll definitely be fine!

*Giggle* Who knew there would be a time like this where the word “definitely” loses its persuasive power?

You say that, but I can tell by your face that you're convinced.

I'm with Honoka on this! They're our fellow school idol lovers! There's no chance they'll come after us!

Yeah! They can be alive or zombies, it doesn't matter!

*Laugh* Oh Honoka, you're already set on going, aren't you?

There's no stopping her at this point.

What?! But, but!

Hey! Can we join you?

Let's dance the night away together!

Whoa, they actually went.

*Chuckle* We've come this far. There's no going back now! Everyone, let's go!
