i don't own the cover art - art by pistachiosoda on tumblr
this fic will include the following ships:
kaemugi, saiouma, amamatsu, saimatsu, and some others which will be revealed with the plot!
plain and normal, average. tsumugi shirogane is all those things. its her way of life, she never tried to stand out or avoid it, like she is a background character in a movie or film, you don't know their names, they are just there for plot concern. she never really understood emotions, she always felt empty in a way, like she was missing something.
when a new semester comes into hopes peak, with new classes and classmates, tsumugi is introduced to kaede akamatsu, a beautiful, thoughtful, and kind pianist. tsumugi can't help but love her. with her new earned emotions, she starts to act strange in order to spend time with kaede, even through murder..

each chapter is about : 8 to 13 minutes long
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.

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
