Hello. My name is ███████. Its been approximately ██ days since the virus reached pandemic levels. ██ days since the virus began to mutate. I'm currently held up in a fallout shelter in ██████ I got nothing else to do in this shelter, so I'm leaving behind documentation. I tried to convince myself this is for research, in case anyone else stumbles upon this shelter after my inevitable death. But in all honesty, this feels more for me then it is for anyone else. I doubt there even IS anyone else, but who knows.
It all started on ██/██/████, when the virus began. I don't know much details about it, All I know is that it was some kind of japanese youtuber or something, who worked for a corporation for other japanese youtubers. I forgot what it was called. Holo, or something.
Anyhow, There was a different virus going on at the time, one that everyone else had their eyes on. By the time people started noticing this other one, it was too late. It had already spread.

It started off small, with the holo idols. The first one, patient zero, was that blue hair idol. Before we knew it, it spread to the others. There were a few who were unaffected, the purple haired girl wasn't affected by it. All the rest though were infected easily. The virus began spreading to other personalities, ones that weren't part of the corporation. Other groups and corporations were infected, even Independents were infected. Then the axe fell.

Those conspiracy theorists called it a "memetic hazard". Can you believe it? None of us did. The idea that a virus could spread over the internet was ridiculed and ultimately ignored, as people continued doing what they were doing. But just imagine. The hololive corporation's entire fanbase had upwards of 40 million fans. Nisanji had 27 million. Consider all these avid watchers and you have a [EXPLETIVE] ton of hosts ready to spread the potent effects of the meme. All it took was just the very mention of the the virus, it doesn't matter if you saw it in person or just heard of it, once you knew the words, you became a host.
Overnight, nearly 50 million plus people were infected.

Something that can spread just by mentioning it, seems impossible. But when you stop to think about it, it makes sense. If you yelled "FIRE" in a theater, people didn't stop to think "Wait a minute, theres no fire" they said, "oh [EXPLETIVE], Theres a fire! Run!" a memetic is simply an idea, an ideology, that spreads from one person to another.
I was at home when the panic began, people running in the streets trying to get away from this virus. I was lucky. My father was one of those conspiracy theorists, and swabbed us with debt building a fallout shelter right in our backyard. He had divorced my mother years ago, and I don't know what ever happened to her. Cut back to the pandemic, My brother and I fought our way through the masses to get back from school, but he wanted to stop for something. He told me he'd catch up with me.
When I first saw him, it was 2 weeks after the panic. He was banging on the shelter door. I couldn't hear what he was saying, I was so overjoyed that he was still alive. I nearly opened the lock, when I looked him in the eyes.
They were cold, dead, monotone eyes. I would've been infected right then and there if I tried to decipher what he was mouthing. I didn't care though. I went into the corner to cry.

I decided that I'd had enough, that I had nothing to lose. I decided I would go out there and put my brother out of his misery. I had my fathers gun, a glock 17 that he bought and never used. I knew nothing about guns, Only that all you had to do was point and shoot. I went outside wearing earmuffs and blasted. Think I shot him 6 times. Once it was done, The adrenaline went away, And I was left with a gun and a lot of blood. I couldn't think straight and I stumbled back to the shelter, only to realize that the gunshot had led most of them in the area right to my position. I tried to close the shelter, but there were too many of them. I emptied the rest of the gun into the crowd, but there more filled their place. All of them kept saying the same phrase over and over.
"Hi Honey"
