A father and his distant, grieving daughter. A last-ditch vacation to reconnect. A hike deep into a forest that shouldn't exist. When Naoki Takeuchi tries to mend his broken family bond, they discover something ancient and alien, wounded deep in the earth. In a moment of distraction, he brings a small piece of it back with him—a terrible souvenir from a place he doesn't understand. He thought he was saving a file. He was actually unleashing a plague.

In the lonely glow of his 1980s Tokyo apartment, a young janitor's tedious night shift is disrupted by a curious find: a discarded floppy disk. Compelled by a fascination he can't explain, he slots it into his home computer, a simple action that unleashes a silent, parasitic code. The signal doesn't stay digital. It begins to creep and writhe, hijacking his electronics and transforming them into something disturbingly organic. He found an elegant monolith, but what it found in him was far more sinister.

Your safety is our priority. Please remain calm.

In the lonely glow of his 1980s Tokyo apartment, a young man receives a mysterious, unsolicited package. Inside, he finds not machine parts, but something disturbingly organic. Compelled by a fascination he can't explain, he follows the cryptic instructions and assembles the pieces in his bathtub. But what he creates is not a machine—it's a living entity. An entity that looks back at him with his own eyes.

In a forgotten server farm from the 1980s, a lone technician keeps the machines humming. When a critical error message blinks to life, he follows the signal deep into a sprawling, overgrown maze of wires and forgotten technology. He thinks his job is to fix the machine. He's about to find out the machine has other plans.
