ah yes, another drv3 story. saimatsu/amamatsu based OoP in this book, drv3 was a virtual simulation. you'd stay inside that virtual world until you died. once you died, you'd come back to the real world and live your life as if nothing happened. because once you died, you also lost your memories of what happened. but there was a mistake in this season of danganronpa nobody knew about. everyone's memories stayed. once they died, they'd remember. their in-game personas also stayed. kaede akamatsu, the first executed, vowed to find everyone else who participated in the 53rd killing game, and become friends with them like she promised. there wasn't a trace of the "i have zero faith in humanity" kaede. there was only "i believe in all of you!" (okay so for saimatsu/amamatsu, kaede still loves shuichi and shuichi loves her back, but in the course of time where its just rantaro and kaede in the real world, rantaro falls in love with kaede.)
