Aisa is a ballerina who dances alone in an empty theater. She lives in an apocalyptic world where a deadly plague that makes people go crazy and want to eat others has wiped everything out. All of the theaters have closed down, but she still goes to her old space to perform. As she finishes her routine, she hears someone clap, and she leaps. It’s Balege, her old dance partner. She is happy to see him, but then she sees that he, too, has been infected. He tells her not to worry; he just wants to dance with her. They dance together, and Aisa reminds Balege how he’d never dropped her before. Balege says that that’s a lie. He dropped her once. Aisa can’t remember. Balege tells her that she, too, is infected and that at the start of her infection, she told Balege to drop her as they performed. He wouldn’t and he tried to catch her, but she twisted out of her arms. It was to no avail: she still lived. Now, Aisa remembers. She has the death plague but can only remember that she does when she’s dancing with Balege. They finish their dance, one of many in their eternal performance.
