Akane jolted awake on a desolate island, her mind a blank canvas, devoid of memories and filled with an unsettling sense of disorientation. As she struggled to her feet, a wave of dread crashed over her, heavy and suffocating. The oppressive silence was shattered only by the rustling of leaves, a sound that seemed to whisper secrets of the unknown. Soon, she caught sight of others, equally lost and bewildered, their faces mirroring her own confusion. They exchanged names, a brief flicker of connection amidst the chaos, before the group decided to scatter, compelled to explore the ominous landscape that loomed before them. Akane wandered, her heart pounding in her chest, until she stumbled upon a dilapidated farm, its sign creaking in the wind, reading 'Usami Corral.' The air was thick with an eerie stillness, and a solitary cow stood outside, its eyes vacant and hollow, as if it too had been stripped of its purpose. Perched on a fence post, a toucan observed her with its vibrant plumage, a stark contrast to the dreary backdrop of a crumbling windmill that loomed like a ghost from a forgotten past. The cartoonish charm of the surroundings felt grotesque, as if mocking their dire situation, amplifying the sense of dread that clung to her like a shroud. Determined to gather her thoughts, Akane resolved to remain at the farm, hoping for clarity amidst the chaos. Time passed slowly, each tick of the clock echoing in her mind, until two boys approached her, their figures emerging from the shadows. One of them seemed familiar, a flicker of recognition sparking in her mind, yet his name eluded her grasp. The other boy was a complete stranger, his presence adding to the growing tension. As they halted before her, she forced a smile, masking the turmoil within.

"Heeeey! Who're you dudes?" she asked, her voice a mix of curiosity and trepidation as she turned her gaze to the familiar boy.

"I pretty much suck at rememberin' names, and I've met so many interestin' characters today," she admitted, her heart racing as Nagito repeated his name, a hint of familiarity washing over her. She smiled again, as she turned to the other boy.

"Yo! The name's Akane Owari! Nice to meetcha."
