" So... Shuichi? Tell me. How has your time been on the set since the game?" Kodaka asked. Shuichi avoiding Eye Contact.

" It has been fine" Shuichi answered.

" Fine you say? Describe fine?" Kodaka asked.

Shuichi grasped his knee caps.

" I have been spending more time with my cast mates...." Shuichi said.

" Ah yes! I have noticed that you quite close with them!" He said.

" If I do recall? You were all friends even before the season started" Kodaka coldly inquired.

Grasping his knees tighter Shuichi spoke.

" Yes... we were" Shuichi answered.
" I wish to know, what was your relationship with all if them" Kodaka asked him.

" Well you see... When my own as well as Maki's and Himiko's parents passed on in a fire.... at a main Danganronpa building..." Shuichi answered.

" What was that? Shuichi. What was the name of your parents?" Kodaka asked.

" Their name's were... Haru and Emiko Saihara...." Shuichi answered.

Kodaka held his head down.

" Yes... I remember them... I was especially close to Emiko..." Kodaka said.

" You were close to my mother..." Shuichi repeated.

" Very... Shuichi.... have you enjoyed your life?" Kodaka asked.

Shuichi pondered at Kodaka's question.

" My life... It has been interesting.... My family and friends are what I live for.... I want there to be fun and fullness in my life..." Shuichi answered.

" You share some of the same qualities as me.." Kodaka pondered.

" Shuichi... every day at 2:00 pm, I want you to talk to me everyday" Kodaka requested.

" Yes.. Sir" Shuichi complied.

Later the same day

" Hey Pooichi! T-Tell me... Do any of you remember the game and what happened?" Miu awkwardly but confidently asked.

" Yeah! We've been out the game for almost a week now and yet we still don't remember!" Kaede said

" Kekeke! I wonder if god tried protecting me as I feel to my doom~" Kiyo said.

" Gonta no think Kiyo would remember how he perished. How would Kiyo even knew if he plummeted?" Gonta asked with terrible grammar but with clever speech.

" Kekeke! What a mystery~" Said Kiyo.

" HA! Well there's no way that Kaito Momota! Luminary of the stars would fall like that!" Kaito said proudly.

" Right babe?" He asked nudging Maki.

" Um..."

" You degenerate male! Don't you dare touch her without permission!" Tenko told him.

" Calm you're tits Tenko!" Kaito joked

" A-ah! *blushes*" Tenko expressed.

" Everyone, we are getting off track~" Kirumi said Seductively.

" Kirumi is right y'know" Ryoma said

" Right.. Sooo Shumai" said Kokichi

" Shu-Shumai?" Said Miu

" What happened to us in the game?" Kokichi asked.

Shuichi dropped his fork as he stared at Himiko and Maki.

" Um... Um..." Shuichi struggled to say

" We don't remember!" Himiko stated.

" Aw what?" Kaito said disappointed.

" Tch! How boring..." Kokichi said.

" Hold on... do you remember who the mastermind was?" Angie asked.

Tsumugi dropped her food.

" Tsuzi? You alright?" Rantaro asked?

" I um..." said Tsumugi

" Hahaha!" Shuichi laughed off.

" W-what?" Tsumugi asked.

" Who knows what the mastermind was?" Shuichi lied laughing off.

" Y-yeah!" Maki played along.

" So you guys have no idea who the mastermind could've been?" Kokichi asked.

" Pfft!" Himiko scoffed. " It was probably Junko again or something!"

Everyone laughed off while Tsumugi had a shocked face.

" Hopefully we remember soon!" Said Angie.

Shuichi, Maki, Himiko and Tsumugi's sweat dropped.

" *yawns* whatever I'm tired! I gotta go to bed!" Said Kokichi

" Gonta require unconscious replenish procedure as well" Gonta said getting up.

Soon everyone left except the survivors and Mastermind.

" Why?" Tsumugi asked

" Why did you lie to them for me?" Tsumugi asked once again.

".... Don't know.." Said Shuichi.

" Maybe It was the right thing to do..." Said Himiko.

" *sigh* we just got them and you back. We don't want for there to be tension.." Maki explained.

" She's right... I noticed it too. It may not look like it, but their all recovering mentally.." Shuichi added.

" So what you're saying is... nows not the time?" Tsumugi asked.

" Yeah... guess so" Said Shuichi.

With Kodaka

He circled his office touching a portrait.

" My lost Princess..." He said stroking it.

" It is all coming together... I have found the prince of our kingdom" said Kodaka

With Shuichi

" Tsumugi better not fuck it up!"He said laying into his bed.

" Fuck what up exactly?" Asked a familiar voice.

Shuichi quite literally jumped out of his bed.

" Who is that!?" He asked holding up his arms.

" Well aren't you the robo-phobe?!" Asked the voice

Shuichi let down his guard.
" K-keebo?" Shuichi called out

" We'll don't act disappointed!" Said Keebo stepping out the shadows.

" Wait... You're not him.." Said Shuichi

" Whatever do you mean?" Keebo asked.

" You look human.." Said Shuichi still shocked

" I am here. Isn't that all that matters?" Keebo asked
