Plot
Sho wanted a future car that his mother didn't want to buy. He started saving money and after some time had them, but when he went to buy it, he decided to buy his mother a watch instead, but as he was running back, he dropped it on a cross-walk and the cars ran over it. He went to school and saw only a kid named Yu there and he started playing with him. As it got dark, he ran home and ended in an argument with his mother and later went to sleep angry. He woke up in the morning missing his alarm clock and as he spoke with his mother, they ended up in another argument as she didn't wake him. After he went to grab his school items, he realized his marbles were missing and then his mother told him she threw them off. They ended up in a fight insulting each other and Sho left for school.

On his way there, he met Shinichi, who then realized he forgot his lunch money. Sho realized he forgot his too and Shinichi suggested they go back home and take it, but since they were close to school, Sho decided to go to school, while Shinichi ran back home.

Sho arrived at school and went to class. His teacher Mr. Wakahara asked everyone if they remembered to get their lunch money and only a few kids rised hands. He told them it was fine and to bring them tomorrow. Sho realized he wasn't the only one with Shinichi who forgot them and that Shinichi didn't need to ran home, but in that moment his stomach growled and everyone started to laugh at him. But as they laughed he realized the room was moving and then an earthquake occurred and everyone hide under their desks. When the tremors stopped, Sho went out, the girl who was sitting with him, Saki, was still holding him and he pushed her away. They continued the class normally, but then saw a teacher running and falling on the school ground outside. As Wakahara went to check him and then all teachers headed to the gates, Sho realized something bad must have happened and went to check himself and Saki followed him. As he went to the school gates, he was shocked to see nothing except a wasteland. He rushed back to inform the other kids, who didn't believe him at first, but after looking out of the window and then going on the roof, they realized it was the truth. As all panicked, they rant towards the gates, crying for their mothers, but the teachers stopped them from leaving, as they would die.
