Well, the game ended... No one other than Maki, Himiko, and Shuichi survived...
Or so it seemed.
In the end, everyone woke up in a hospital, told they participated in some game, told their memories were faked... That everything was fake... And rewarded with money. Yay.
Shuichi had reconnected with everyone, or... The people HE liked in the game, Kaede, Maki, and Kaito.
And now, due to him finding out about Tsugumi's chances of starting a new game... He needed a liar to fight more lies.
Kokichi Ouma was his hope, his hope for finally getting this away. The boy could find out lies and spin his own in a flat second, with no preparations..
But... It seems he went totally blanked and there were no traces of him anywhere.. Or on the surface, he knew how people were.
He had no idea what Kokichi was up too... He could have a family, a partner, kids.. But, maybe Kokichi would help.
It didn't take more than a few months to find where Kokichi was living, some sort of flat that was a house, it wasn't shitty, surprisingly.
Shuichi knocked on the door, unknowing of what to expect.
