Summary
Kathleen records a video message, wanting to leave a proof that she existed. She explains its 2030 and how a disease broke out in Venice that turns people to monsters and in two years it devastated the world.

In 1600, on a stormy night, on a boat, Sensui Kanzaki and Kenroku Sanada are getting exiled. Kenroku recognizes Sensui and wonders why he is getting exiled. Sensui recalls how his master asked him to take the blame for him and that after some time he will arrange his return. Sensui then wonders about Kenroku exile and Kenroku explains he settled with a nice woman, but got caught killing a magistrate. To their surprise, a light comes out of the sea, which becomes violent and flips their boat.

Sensui and Kenroku wake up in a ruined Tokyo in 2030 and can't believe humans managed to build such buildings. While they walk around, they see a man, but he turns into a monster.
