From the introduction: Welcome to Tokyo! Isn’t it beautiful? The capital of Japan is in an economic boom, and everything is going swimmingly. The local high schools are holding their final exams, the people are happy, there’s a killer new app that allows you to see how people will die called Nicaea, the agents of the Japan Meteorological Agency, Geomagnetism Research Department, or JP’s, are lurking about, and a massive earthquake is tearing the city apart. Oh, and a giant ice cream shaped alien that explodes and kills everyone around it before reforming fell from the sky. Oh boy.
