Shuichi's POV

        I woke up. What time is it now? I looked at my phone, and what suprise me is.

"7:30am" Oh crap. I jumped out of bed. I'm going to be late for college. Was I really *that* tired last night?

    After I showered, I saw Kokichi having breakfast at the dining table. Why didn't he woke me up? I wondered. Kokichi saw me and say.

"Morning Saihara-chan.." He said in a lazy tone. I looked at him and replied.

"Morning to you too, Kokichi-kun.." Kokichi has been my roomate for quite a while since we've graduated from hope peak.

      However, his personality does change a lot since now. He's not quite cheerful. He's inactive and don't really talk a lot since we've graduated. I wonder what made him to became like that. After I'm done with my clothes, I looked at Kokichi.

"Come on let's go Kokichi-kun, We're gonna be late.." I sighed. Kokichi stood up and wear his black hoodie.

    He took his bag and walk with me to college. As we arrived, I'm suprised that not just me that's late even Kaede, Kaito and Maki are late. I guess it's not just me who overslept last night.

"Saihara-kun!" A voice called me. I look around and see who it was. It was Kaede Akamatsu.

"Hi, Akamatsu-san" I replied. We talked for a bit when we're walking.

    As we arrived inside, Lots of students are taking their seats for class. Kokichi sat next to me while Kaede and others sit at the same row. The class began not long enough after I began to put out my note book.

(Time skipped) After Class

       The class ended and it's time for work. I worked as a barista at the cafe nearby. It wasn't really a bad job, I really enjoy being a barista there. As I move out, I saw Kokichi sat at the stairs while people move out. He seemed sad. Wait wasn't he's always like this? I walk toward and sat next to him.

"Hi Saihara-chan.." He said.

"Hi Kokichi-kun.. what are you doing here?" I asked him. He let out a sigh and say.

"Nothing really..." I was so concerned about his state now. I use to hate him for telling lies, but now.... He seems distant.. Not just that but he also not too active like he use to back then. I wonder what happened.

    I brought out a key, and give it to Kokichi.

"Here, go and get some rest. You look tired.." I say handing the key to Kokichi.

"A...alright.." He took the key. I rubbed his hair and say.

"I'm going out for work, take care of yourself okay?" I let out a warm smile. He looked at me with calm face and replied "Alright.."

    I left him there, sitting at the stairs and headed for work. I sure hope he'll be okay.

Kokichi's POV

         I watch him go off to the nearby café. I stood up and go to my dorm. I covered my head with my hoodie, trying not to caught anyone's attention.

         As I arrived at my dorm, I sat on my bed. Why was Shuichi so concerned about me? As far as I know people don't really care about my condition except him. I wonder why....Maybe he's concerned by my sudden personality change.

        Yes, I do realise that. I do realise my personality change. I change it because of D.I.C.E the only family I had left died months ago when I attend Hope Peak. It's a tragedy, I lost everything I had in my life, the people I cared about, the people who cared about me killed in a tragedy. It's broke my heart, everything in it shatter into pieces.

         I tried not to cry, but the tears keep coming back. I couldn't stop thinking about the tragedy happened. I was so weak, by myself. Without them I'm nothing, without them I couldn't have earned the title The Ultimate Supreme Leader. The title means nothing to me, without them. I looked at my arm, which was bandaged. It's a scar I got when someone tried to murder me but failed. I open the bandage revealing a big scar. I could've died from blood loss, but I survived.

          I sighed and look at the picture at my table.

          I smiled in tears, remebering my time with them in Hope Peak. It was fun, but sadly those times must come to an end. Especially for Keebo and Tsumugi. They both couldn't survive. I remembered at the times when I teased Keebo. It was fun. He's great friend. Tsumugi, wasn't really my friend but I hated her for killing Keebo. She killed Keebo, got executed and that's it. She's the mastermind and it ended. The killing game stopped. Neither hope nor despair wins. We all refuse to kill.

             I lay on the bed with grief remembering how Keebo was brutally killed by Tsumugi. These memories won't go away, Keebo's death and D.I.C.E tragedy hurts me. I felt tired and began to close my eyes. I hope I'll be able to get over this soon enough.

Shuichi's POV
(Time Skipped)

        I went back to my dorm since my shift is over. I opened the door and saw Kokichi sleeping with a picture in his hand. I took a look at the picture.

          I was shocked. Tsumugi's face was crossed. What happened? I looked at him. His face looks like he cried. Did he cried? Did he hate Tsumugi that much? or did he missed Keebo? Thousands question run through my mind. Maybe I'll ask him later. I put my bag next to his and rub his head. He's really missed Keebo that much huh? I smiled and sit at my desk. I began to open my laptop and began to work on my assignment.
