Description
⚠️ BEFORE YOU READ THE DESCRIPTION OF THE STORY, KEEP IN MIND THAT THIS CONTAINS SPOILERS FOR DANGANRONPA V3. IF YOU HAVE NOT FINISHED THE GAME IN ITS ENTIRETY, AVOID READING THIS UNTIL YOU FINISH IT. ⚠️ Also, to clarify, this story takes place in a Danganronpa AU in which the killing game was a simulation. None of the events taking place in this fanfiction are, nor ever will be canon. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- After Kokichi dies, he wakes up to be greeted by all of his dead peers. At least, he thought they were dead. Once Kokichi finds out the truth about Danganronpa, he can't help but be confused. Coming to terms with the fact that he doesn't have to lie to survive anymore, he tries to change himself for the better, but the guilt from his previous actions often get in the way. As Kokichi adapts to his new life, he forms relationships with those around him, and remembers things Danganronpa made him forget. Although he tries to keep his focus on what's important, his mind is hooked on one person in particular: Shuichi Saihara, the one who he developed feelings for. Eventually, Shuichi will wake up, and Kokichi will have to face him, whether he wants to or not. Shuichi wasn't too fond of Kokichi in the killing game, but, once he learns the truth behind Kokichi's lies, maybe things will be different between the two. ⚠️Warning!⚠️ This fanfiction includes brief mentions of self harm! If you are sensitive to this type of stuff or don't like angsty chapters (although there isn't much angst, I will admit), it would be best if you didn't read this fanfiction. Also, this is inspired by "Welcome Home" by @withmyhonesty, so please check that out if you haven't already. The cover art is by me.
