Hello, and welcome to Danganronpa: Scenes From a Memory. The chapter titles will be directly inspired by song titles from Dream Theater's 1999 concept album Metropolis II: Scenes From a Memory, and the chapter themes will be very loosely based on the lyrics from the song the chapter borrows its title from.
In a nutshell, the concept album is about the main character Nicolas regaining his memories from a past life. Since memory loss and/or theft is a common theme in Danganronpa, I decided to give an over-arcing concept with the Class 78 survivors a try. Since I'm still fleshing this out, please do not expect regular chapter updates. I do apologize in advance about that, but I want to make sure that both the concept of the fic and the music its inspired by both make sense in the post-Tragedy world.
One difference from the Dream Theater album and this fic is that the songs WILL be out of order. This was done more to preserve the theme of the fic as opposed to the theme of the album, since the album deals with similar but at times vastly different topics.
Proper copyrights WILL be attributed to the band, since I'll be using their lyrics as part of the fic itself.
As of now, this fic will only center around the Class 78 survivors since Danganronpa 2 pretty much explained the lost memories of Class 77-B. I may do a sequel with Class 77-B in the future, but for right now it would be too confusing to flesh out fifteen survivors' memories as opposed to six survivors. I will admit that it's an intriguing idea, but that's not what I had planned right now (first world writer problems hee hee).
I'll also tag more characters and ships as I go along. I hope you'll enjoy reading this as much as I'm sure I'll enjoy writing it!
Oh, one more thing. The time that this fiction takes place is after the events of Trigger Happy Havoc, but before Goodbye Despair/Ultra Despair Girls.
