Ryota was at the Future Foundation with you, you used to go to Hope’s peak together and after the Tragedy you both joined the Future Foundation to win against Junko Enoshima and the despairs. He sometimes went a bit far with his anime, but you were there to stop him before he went a bit too far, you were together for thick and thin, and after the killing game started, you guys started hanging out with Kyoko, Aoi and Makoto; survivors from the first killing game
