The Departure

The Departure is the parting between Kurume Tarou and Ririsu Ibusuki when they were both at the age of 5 in English class. It was witnessed by many of their fellow classmates, like Suzuko Nigatsuden. It begins when Ririsu tells Kureme that she's moving abroad out of nowhere, and the two confess their feelings. Ririsu asks for a final request from Kureme, that is to "Kiss me". This was the exact moment when Kureme's First Love Zombie, Eve, was created. In seeing two Eve's, Kureme becomes distraught and confused, stumbling to a headbutt between Kureme and Ririsu. After that headbutt, Kureme began to cry thinking "Eve hates me, and now we will never be able to meet again." This lead to Eve becoming a broken hearted zombie, making Eve transfer the curse from Kureme onto Ririsu with the intention to make Ririsu "Never forget Taro-Chan". Eve remained forgotten and a broken hearted zombie until Kureme had the thought of "Please let me have a first love". The curse put upon Ririsu would then be lifted as soon as Eve no longer remains a broken hearted zombie.
