Every thing was fake, all a virtual reality game.
The killing game, everyone dying, all of that was all fake.
Everyone was still alive. And so, 15 (excluding Tsumugi) students live their lives as students of Hopes Peak Academy.

•^ No One's POV ^• Shuichi called out to the shorter male, seeing him move through the dark, holding a glass of water.
"..Yeah?" Kokichi hesitantly responded with.
"W-What are you doing awake...? It's like.." Shuichi turned on his phone, checking the time before he continued. "..Three in the morning.."
"Well, I can ask you the same thing, Saihara-Chan..!" Kokichi almost instantly responded.
"Ah...I guess your right." Shuichi yawned slightly, covering his mouth with his hat.
"...Why are you here, sitting alone in the dark?" Kokichi asked in a hushed voice, walking over to the table Shuichi sat at, sitting across from him.
"Ah...Well..I couldn't sleep...so..I decided to take a walk...Around the school...And I ended up sitting..down right here.." Shuichi replied hesitantly, continuing to cover his mouth with his hat as he looked off to the side.
"Shuichi?" Kokichi asked, tilting his head to the side slightly.
"Y-Yes, Kokichi...?" Shuichi continued to look off to the side, intentionally avoiding eye contact.
"Is that really the truth..?" Kokichi asked, resting his head in his hands.
"W-What...Do you mean by that...?" Shuichi asked quietly.
"I mean, was that a lie..? You seemed uncertain when you spoke." Kokichi replied, looking at Saihara.
Shuichi stayed silent, not saying anything, nor looking at Kokichi.
"Shumai." Kokichi stared at Shuichi. "Look at me, please."
Shuichi turned his head slowly, finally making eye contact with Kokichi, mouth still covered by the hat.
Kokichi blushed softly,
Shuichi looks really, really cute like that..
He thought to himself.

"Look, Saihara-Chan-" Kokichi began, before getting cut off by Shuichi.
"Thank you, Kokichi.." Shuichi blurted out suddenly.
Kokichi was shocked, not knowing how to reply. Eventually, he replied, very quietly.
"F-For what...? All I did in the killing game was mess everything up...And mess with everyone's feelings...You shouldn't thank me for something like that, Shu-" Before Kokichi could finish his sentence, Shuichi interuppted him for the second time.
"For...Everything in the killing game. Even if you feel like you didn't do anything helpful, you really helped us out. So...Thank you Kokichi.."
Kokichi just nodded in response. Too flustered and shocked to say anything else.
"Well...Bye, Kokichi..I hope you get some rest. Sweet dreams."
"B-Bye.." Kokichi stood up, his glass of water in hand, as he walked up to his dorm room.
And there, he dreamt. It wasn't a nightmare, but a dream. What Shuichi had said was true, he had a sweet dream. A happy one. A beautiful one.
