"I don't remember dying."

When Kaede Akamatsu woke up after being virtually plugged into the killing game, she is awakened to a harsh reality where she isn't sure what's real or not, fears the piano, and is addicted to painkillers. When she agreed to do the game and act out the committee's script to ensure her a place in Hope's Peak Academy, and to prove she is tough enough to live through something as terrifying as that, she had no clue it would lead to so much goddamn trauma.

But there is something about trauma that makes it so much easier to bond with others. Specifically a geeky blue haired girl who is sneaking out of her dorm in the middle of the night to make Ramen.
