It's been about a year since the thirteen of them woke from the living hell that was the Killing Game. Ever since, they've been living together in a strange new world where their old memories are next to meaningless. Kokichi still feels the effects of the game a year later; although, he only has himself to blame for not being able to get past his guilt. Still, he hopes to be able to, one day, feel like he has earned his place among the others and maybe even feel like he can belong. Word Count: 91,675 [[ Cross-posted from my AO3 !! ]] The cover art is mine as well! Content warnings for language, minor injury (ch. 4), and minor suicidal thoughts (ch. 4 +5)!! Also, this takes place after the events of V3, so (for anyone that hasn't played it yet for some reason) there will be spoilers for the game! I will also mention also that Tsumugi and Korekiyo just... aren't in this and it's never explained or mentioned, sorry if you like those characters! (I just can't write those two postgame, haha) --- Edit (8-8-24): Realised that the chapters were numberless and that I never put the AO3 link here :P https://archiveofourown.org/works/56079598
