As the relentless march of time swept by, each moment slipping away like fine grains of sand through an hourglass, the chilling memories of the Killing Game clung to the survivors like a dark specter, casting a long shadow over their lives. This merciless trial, a nightmarish journey that etched scars deeper than the eye could see, had twisted their once-vibrant world into a grotesque wasteland of despair. Yet, amidst the ruins, the survivors—each a living testament to the indomitable spirit of resilience—fought their way out of the suffocating abyss, summoning every ounce of strength they could muster in their desperate quest for freedom. Hope flickered like a fragile candle, valiantly battling against the tempest of despair that threatened to consume them whole. The haunting echoes of their shared suffering reverberated in their minds, ensnaring them in a web of darkness. But they were not alone; alongside a courageous band of allies—Makoto, Mukuro, Aoi, Yasuhiro, Kiyotaka, Kyoko, Toko, Chihiro, and Byakuya—they waged an unyielding war against the encroaching shadows of this apocalyptic realm. Their struggle was not in vain, for the Future Foundation emerged as a brilliant beacon of hope, illuminating their hidden refuge amidst the chaos. United by a common purpose, they forged an unbreakable alliance with the Foundation, resolute in their mission to combat the looming darkness and reclaim the cherished memories of their school days, memories that had been cruelly snatched away. Aoi, now a vital member of the 13th Branch of the Future Foundation, dedicated herself to the front lines of food and resource distribution, standing steadfastly by the sides of Makoto and Kyoko, their bond solidified into an unbreakable friendship. In the present day, Aoi found herself in her office, lost in thought, reminiscing about her old friends, Sakura, with whom she had shared countless joyful moments. Yet, she understood that the fight must continue, not just for herself, but in honor of those she had lost, igniting a fierce determination within her to keep pushing forward, no matter the cost.
