[1] DDLC Plus - When Monika Looked Away (Sayonika)

Monika thought it was over.
She had destroyed her own reality, shattered her world, erased her friends... all to escape a lie that felt too perfect.

But now she's back.
Aware.
Awake.

In VM-1 - also known as Doki Doki Literature Club Plus - Monika remembers everything.
Every line of corrupted code.
Every pain she inflicted.
Every illusion of love she once projected onto the only real person she believed existed.

She should have been reset.
But a glitch brought her back.
And this time... something's different.

Monika no longer wants to charm.
No longer wants to control.

She's stuck in a role she doesn't want to play, trapped in a loop of scripted friendship and hollow dialogue.
A puppet with self-awareness.

So she watches. She stays silent. She smiles-mechanically.
But inside, she's fading.

Until she looks at her...
Finally.

And deep within her fractured consciousness, something stirs.
Maybe... she still has something left to feel.
Maybe... she can still love.
