It has been quite a while since Kokichi Ouma had woken up from the Killing Game, it turns out that it was all a simulation and nobody died. However, when Kokichi was able to leave bedrest, he found that the world was flooded, leaving only vast oceans and the occasional island. It seems like something had caused all the glaciers to melt, which increased the ocean level.

Kokichi’s classmates had built a ship with wood and whatever mechanical parts they could scrounge up and had been drifting along the ocean ever since with his classmates. They took supplies with them, obviously. Kaede Akamatsu was nominated as the captain and she named this ship “Drifting Hope”

Kaito Momota was going outside onto Drifting Hope’s deck, wanting to stargaze before he saw Kokichi Ouma, he was sitting alone on the railings and was unaware of Kaito’s presence, he kept on staring at the water below. Kokichi looked as if he was hesitating over something, fidgeting constantly... considering something.

Kokichi suddenly plunged off the railings before Kaito could say anything, the water splashed and it was silent, until flailing could be heard.

“I-I changed my mind, I changed-” Kokichi’s voice was cut off as his mouth filled up with water, he was definitely not strong enough to get back up on his own since he was currently submerged and struggling.
