Japan in December.
The world has been severely broken.
Until a few years ago, the average winter temperature was definitely -20 degrees. But why? Due to global warming, it has now surpassed -70 degrees. A bizarre phenomenon has even occurred where it drops to -75 degrees. Special equipment is required just to go outside. Humanity can no longer progress. If this phenomenon ends, humanity might continue to develop, but that probability is close to zero.
It is impossible to go out without wearing special gear. If you do, you freeze to death. Because of this damn weather, over 300 people per month pass away due to cold-related illnesses. It seemed the government, failing to come up with new measures, had given up, but a survival method handed down from the government has been applied nationwide.
The government managed to do one thing. Dormitories have essentially become the students' homes. In other words, they must live in the dorms until graduation. They won't be able to see their families until they graduate, but this is the survival method that allows us to overcome the cold. For reference, at our Blue Jade High School, nearly 1,000 students died from cold-related illnesses, leaving 164 survivors, including teachers, to live in the dorms.
There are high school students living through this winter where they're freezing to death—
Four high school students are standing in front of the door to the room where Nagi, Reo, and Guest are.
"Sigh... are you guys going to live inside those blankets forever?"
Reo is dressed neatly in his school uniform with a padded jacket over it. He's quick to prepare, but he's always late to the classroom. The reason is the heavy burdens he has to carry.
"It's cold... and it's a hassle..."
Nagi turns his gaze from his game console to look at Reo. Guest, who is in uniform but has no intention of leaving the blankets, is right there. A fellow slacker is stuck right next to Guest—
"Reo, it feels like we're going to freeze to death, do we really have to go out...?"
He looks at Reo with sleepy eyes before turning his gaze back to the game console. He wraps himself and Guest tightly in the blankets.
Three male students are visible behind Reo. Isagi gives a troubled, awkward smile.
"Ah... is the reason Reo called us here pointing at Nagi and Guest because of them?"
"Reo-Reo, what's for dinner tonight?"
Since they can't go outside and have to live confined to the dormitory, meals are distributed for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
"Guest, check it yourself. You lazybones..."
Reo, sitting at his desk studying for a performance assessment, sighs as he looks at Guest. Still, because they are precious living friends, he checks kindly for them.
"Brown rice, shabu-shabu beef soup, radish kimchi—"
"Oh, it's not bad..."
Nagi lets out a big yawn, trying his best to wake up.
"You guys don't even eat breakfast. You're going to collapse at this rate."
He looks at Guest and Nagi as if they're hopeless, or rather, just pathetic.
"Well, I'll drag you there if I have to."
