It has been a year since K1-B0 had woken up from the Killing Game, it was all a simulation and nobody actually died. Everyone was in some sort of hospital somewhere except for K1-B0, he woke up at Idabashi’s laboratory months after the Killing Game Simulation.

It was a miracle that K1-B0 even recovered from that experience, there were now so many faults inside his body, he even got corrupted from leaving the simulation, luckily he wasn’t destroyed from it completely. But K1-B0 now spent the past year connected to a powerful computer in Idabashi’s laboratory, alone... Of course Professor Idabashi would keep K1-B0 company every so often but he still had his own personal life. So K1-B0 still spent all his days isolated in darkness in a cold, sterile laboratory.

Shuichi Saihara resumed helping his uncle with detective work after the Killing Game Simulation, he was currently going to Idabashi’s Laboratory to collect some new technology, Shuichi didn’t pay attention to the details. As Shuichi’s uncle spoke to Professor Idabashi, Shuichi heard an excited shout from the other side of the room.

“Shuichi? Is that you?! Hey, Shuichi, over here!” K1-B0 was impassioned as he called out to Shuichi, he would run over to Shuichi if it wasn’t for all the wiring keeping him stuck on the counter. K1-B0 felt as if his eyes lit up again for the first time in a long time.
