Y/N On Borderlands
“The Last Normal Day”
🎥 : Y/N’s Channel: “A Day in Shibuya”
Camera turns on. Y/N’s cheerful face fills the frame.
Y/N L/N
Hey guys! It’s Y/N here! your tired but unstoppable traveler.
Y/N L/N
Today’s goal? Coffee, camera shots, and maybe catching the sunset at Shibuya Crossing. Let’s go~!
The video cuts between clips of crowded streets, neon lights, and laughter echoing through alleys.
Y/N L/N
It’s crazy how alive Tokyo feels. Like nothing bad could ever happen here.
4:42 PM – Shibuya Crossing, Tokyo
📱 Y/N texts her best friend in chat:
Y/N: omw to the crossing 😭 it’s PACKED
Friend: film the chaos lol 🙄
Y/N: if I survive 💀
The camera shakes as Y/N backs up to record the lights changing then suddenly bumps into someone.
?
Dude, watch where you’re going!
?
He was filming a squirrel, leave him alone—
?
Oh wait, are you filming too?
Y/N lowers the camera, blinking.
Y/N L/N
You guys filming chaos too or just causing it?
?
[laughs awkwardly] Maybe both.
They all share a small laugh as people push past in the crossing.
Group Chat: SHIBUYA CHAOS 💀
(created accidentally when AirDrop goes wild and everyone connects)
Y/N: Wait, who started this??
?: probably Arisu’s nerd fingers
Arisu: I didn’t—! okay maybe
Y/N: lol okay hi strangers, I’m Y/N
Y/N: Nice. random AirDrop besties it is 😎
Moments later, the light changes again, horns blaring, laughter everywhere, and then… silence.
The screen flickers. The hum of Tokyo dies.
Group Chat: SHIBUYA CHAOS 💀
Arisu: …where’d everyone go?
Karube: the streets are empty. what the he—
Chota: power’s out everywhere.
Y/N: …this wasn’t in my vlog plan.
Y/N slowly pans the camera across the abandoned intersection.
No people, no sound, only the faint buzz of neon dying out.
Their footsteps echoed across the lifeless intersection. Stores were open, but not a soul was in sight.
Y/N kept her camera rolling, voice hushed
Y/N L/N
[Vlog whispers] If anyone finds this… Tokyo’s gone. Like, actually gone
Group Chat: SHIBUYA CHAOS 💀
Karube: I’m telling you, this is a prank show. Hidden cameras.
Chota: Then where’s the crew??
Y/N: Yeah, I don’t think NHK’s budget covers disappearing 10 million people.
Arisu: Look—there’s light over there. That building.
They approach a tall office building with a glowing sign
Death Or Alive
The glass doors slide open automatically as they step inside.
A mechanical voice echoes:
“Welcome, players. Please proceed to the registration area.”
Y/N L/N
Nope. Nope. I’ve seen horror movies. This is how people die first.
Karube
Then we die together, camera girl
He smirks, trying to mask the unease.
Inside are other confused people — some younger, some older. They all stare at the newcomers.
[Group Chat: GAME ROOM 🃏]
Unknown Girl: what is this place?
Office Guy: maybe a test? military training?
Y/N L/N
[typing] guys the door just locked behind us—
Voice over speaker: “Game: Dead or Alive. Difficulty: Three of Hearts.”
Chota
hearts? like a card game??
Arisu
…no. I think it means something worse.
The lights flicker. A door at the end of the hall lights up with a glowing “ENTER” sign.
Arisu analyzes the layout instantly.
Arisu
We’ll have to choose the right path. If we pick wrong—
The smell of smoke, the buzz of electricity. One wrong move, and fire bursts from the walls.
Y/N grabs her camera instinctively, whispering
Y/N L/N
Day one in this creepy place.
Y/N L/N
I met strangers who might die with me. If this footage ever uploads… run.
The red countdown glows across the ceiling: 01 : 45… 01 : 44…
Heat hums from the vents. The air smells like burning wires.
Y/N L/N
ok ok there’s 2 doors – A and B
Karube
Arisu, you’re the gamer nerd. pick one fast!
Arisu
Wait—look at the floor. There’s a scorch mark near B. Maybe B = death.
Y/N L/N
are we sure?? what if that’s what they want us to think—
A short alarm chirps. The lights flash orange.
Tablet Voice: “One minute remaining.”
They shove open Door A — a narrow hall lined with mirrors. The door slams behind them. The countdown resets.
[Minutes later — after chaos, screams, fire]
They barely make it through the final door — panting, smoke filling the air.
The “GAME CLEAR” light blinks in blinding white.
Karube
A game that kills you
A phone on the wall beeps. A message flashes across the screen
“CLEAR. VISA GRANTED: 3 DAYS.”
Y/N L/N
Visa? What is this, a vacation in hell?
Outside, Tokyo still empty — but now, a drone hums overhead, watching.
Y/N looks up, breathing hard, hair singed from the fire.
Somewhere far above, in another building, a figure with white jacket glances at the monitor.
?
Interesting. A player… with a camera.
