  Summary

  The killing game was over, and it was only after he saw his revived classmates with his own eyes that Shuichi allowed himself to buckle under the weight of everything he went through.

  It was over, and everyone was safe. All he had to deal with now was the outside world, the memories of a life that never happened, the abandoned pieces of a life he didn’t remember, the friends he couldn’t quite bring himself to text back, and the scheming ex-classmate who decided to move into his spare bedroom. Simple.

  At least he had company.
