Mika Kuraishi (26), an announcer of NNJ TV, has been in the station for the fourth year. He is a sub-caster in charge of the sports corner of the night news program. At 4:04 pm on December 2, 2019, there was a major earthquake of magnitude 7.3 with the epicenter in Tokyo. As the main caster was involved in the earthquake, Mika volunteered for news editor-in-chief Eguchi to "use herself." Mika tells the unprecedented damage at the news center of the turmoil. The relay crew was caught in a fire and died, and while being overwhelmed by numerous damage images, he managed to finish the broadcast on the first day, but he lost contact with his sister.

After dawn, the damage situation becomes clear. An urban area that was blown away by a fire whirl. Mika is distressed by the ever-increasing number of victims, but is angry at the fact that more hoaxes have killed her in an accident. During the broadcast, Mika communicates over the phone with a woman trapped in a building. While giving words of encouragement to a woman in an extreme situation, she feels a strong sympathy and repeats the appearance of her younger sister who is still missing. The staff working at the news center have also lost their families and partners. What can I do? Mika has a feeling of helplessness. There, "wide area communication down" attacks at once, and the means of communication with my sister is cut off.
