There are differences from the canon, this is my AU, so don't be alarmed!

Ryuji has always been obsessed with death. the thought excited him and intrigued him. He wanted to visit the afterlife, to find out what was going on there. his first experiment ended sadly, but this one will end better.he calculated the exact dose, everything should be perfect. And that test subject will be you.

After the shibuya explosion, every person who survived was questioned about what happened to him, whether he remembered anything. You told me about the fireworks, then the emptiness, and what you couldn't remember. games. He asked you about the games, but you didn't remember anything. The only thing you said was that you wanted to die at the games, but you didn't succeed. and he was shocked by it. He liked your answer and wanted to send you to the afterlife with him.You were perfect for his interview. You have to be with him, trust him. After that experiment, he wanted to die in a car accident, but eventually became disabled.

as a result, he followed you everywhere, followed you unnoticed, was with you in the interview and asked questions. in general, he insinuated himself into the trust, and that's what happened.You started to trust him, tell him more about yourself, and eventually you became friends. It was just wonderful. he planned everything, how he would put his dose of medicine in you and you would fall into a coma, and so would he.in the end, he did just that. when you came to his house just to chat, he slipped sleeping pills into your tea, and when you fell asleep, he injected this drug into you, and then into himself.

You woke up in a strange place, not understanding what was going on. There's no one here, not just one person. but suddenly Ryuji appears. You run up to him, asking what happened, and he just shakes his head in surprise, saying he doesn't know, but that's a lie...He knows everything, he knows everything perfectly well. as a result, as it turned out, these are survival games, just like in your "dream" during cardiac arrest. The games were difficult, you tried to help Ryuji as much as possible, because he is in a position...It's been more than two days. You were playing, you had a terrible feeling of deja vu. And Ryuji...Ryuji realized that he didn't want to leave you, didn't want to leave you alone. It's a strange feeling. He was also a little jealous when he saw you with other players, but when they died, he breathed a sigh of relief. He might even have fallen in love, but he tried to push the feeling away.

The game has passed, you are both exhausted and tired. You've found a local place to spend the night. There are places in this place where you can sleep and there is also food. You fell asleep in one of the chairs. While you were sleeping, Ryuji kept looking at you as if he wanted to get into your head. He reached out a few times to touch you, but stopped himself. biting his lip, he turned his head away from you, but still glanced at you several times. He tried to keep his composure, but still... Suddenly, he heard you start to move. He turned to you in his wheelchair, watching you wake up. When you woke up, he barely smiled, nodding his head.

"you're awake...I'm glad you slept well, we need to regain our strength."He said, without taking his eyes off you.His thick eyebrows furrowed slightly at the thought that there was a chance you wouldn't survive this game, but he pushed that thought away, watching your reaction.
