## Story

### Volume 2

She and Shinji grew up in the same town, lived next to each other and even went to the same school. They've been friends since childhood, and went on a date to the theater 5 years prior to their arrival in the island, where Shinji got burn marks when the building caught on fire and he started to help everyone get out. Worried he could be in danger inside, Yuuka used her talent for the first time, tackled the emergency exit open and saved a passed-out Shinji from asphyxia.

When Nana found a trapped cat, Yuuka was asked to help it get out with her super strength. However, she apologized and later revealed she's both allergic to cats and she can't use her power near them.

### Volume 3

She awakens the corpses she's found in the island from previous classes to help her catch Nana, and end up cornering her at an abandoned shack in the mountains. Using corpses inside the shack, Yuuka almost captures Nana, but the sun rises through the window and it's revealed she can only use necromancy during the night or in pitch black locations. Refusing to enter the shack to avoid any traps, Yuuka locks the door with Nana inside and leaves with Shinji on her back to attend classes, where she gets questioned about Nana's absence by Kyouya.
That night, she returns to the shack and discovers Nana somehow escaped. Although they search for her all night, dawn rises and there's no sign of her. Angry, she swears on killing Nana, just for the latter to appear from behind and pin her down. Nana grabs an object from Yuuka's rear pocket and reveals she noticed the real keepsake from Shinji is a torn piece of paper from a test.
Wanting the keepsake back, Yuuka is forced to walk with Nana to the seaside cliff, where Nana tells her how she escaped the shack and then throws the paper off the cliff, leaving Yuuka heartbroken. Nana then proceeds to question her again; Yuuka isn't Shinji's girlfriend, but an obsessive stalker, Yuuka and Shinji didn't go on a date to the theater together, but instead she followed Shinji and his girlfriend there, and finally, the fire was caused by Yuuka to kill Shinji and keep him to herself.
Completely broken and turning crazy, Yuuka is stabbed by Nana with a poisoned needle, and dies.
