It has been only a couple of months since Shuichi Saihara and the rest of the students woke up from the Killing Game, everyone was reunited and nobody actually died, and after some time recovering in the hospital, everyone was free to carry on with their lives, though everyone chose to keep in close contact.
Shuichi has been living in an apartment with Kokichi Ouma, it was very difficult for the both of them, especially since they were both still hurt from the Killing Game, and that they left the Killing Game on uneasy terms. But they both knew that this was for the best right now.
Recently, Shuichi recieved a message from some academy he and his classmates seemed to have attended before they joined the Killing Game, the message said how his and the other classmates' belongings were still in their dorm rooms. Shuichi let everyone know and they all planned to collect their belongings.
Shuichi was currently in his old dorm room while all his other classmates were in their own respective dorm rooms, except for Kokichi, apparently he didn't want much of his old things from his own room so he tagged along with Shuichi. Shuichi's room was incredibly dusty and cluttered with Danganronpa merchandise which he had thrown onto the floor. Though when he stared down at the mess of discarded figures and CDs, he found a picture frame.
"O-Oh my..." Shuichi choked back a sob, the picture frame contained a photo of Shuichi and Kokichi from before the Killing Game. In the picture, Shuichi had his arm draped across Kokichi's shoulder while Kokichi smiled sheepishly, the frame was cracked on Kokichi's side of the picture. Shuichi didn't even remember that this happened, that was how much the Killing Game Simulation messed with his memories.
