Sad DGR 1 Survivor Headcanons (I'm tipsy sorry)

MASSIVE SPOILERS FOR DGR 1 and DGR DESPAIR GIRLS

None of them could ride elevators within the first year of them leaving without having a panic attack. This was learned the hard way when the six of them went up a large skyscraper to meet with the Heads of the Future Foundation and Byakuya immediately backed into a corner away from the others because he was feeling unfamiliar symptoms and had never had a panic attack before. Yasuhiro stood by him and asked him if he was also feeling anxiety. They didn't test the waters again until much later.

Because of their elevator PTSD, Byakuya has fantastic cardio health from how many stairs he climbs a day for work. Easily one of the stronger survivors because of this.

Aoi went from swimming to kickboxing. She never wanted to feel weak again.

Toko didn't write another book until well after the Tragedy was over. She wrote thesises and analysis reports on their findings of Hope and Despair when she stopped being an intern. She found it much more beneficial to work in a different department than Byakuya; she had space to process her trauma instead of deflecting and hiding. She discovered the former Ultimate Therapist in her department and started paying her for services.

After her therapy sessions, Syo didn't come out for a long time, even when she sneezed. She'd done her job: protecting her host. Syo never killed another person ever again.

Toko made sure that all of her books had happy endings.

When they were all freed and taken in by the Future Foundation Camp, they ended up bunking in the same room altogether. Makoto came into Yasuhiro's tent, unable to sleep from a horrendous nightmare, and the two made a nest of blankets and pillows. Kyoko was next, looking for Naegi, then Aoi, then Toko. Byakuya slipped in when all of the others fell asleep, curled up to face the door.

Kyoko opened her own detective agency before she retired, hiring the best and brightest and taking in several interns who reminded her of her friends. Makoto’s detail orientation, Byakuya's knowledge of resources, Toko's intelligence, Aoi's determination, and Hiro's positivity were all factors into hiring new recruits.

Makoto and Kyoko shared a bed long before they started dating. They found it the easiest way to cope with nightmares. When either one is on a work trip, the other stays at one of their friend's houses.

Makoto expected the most judgment from Byakuya when he called to ask him if he could sleep over, but he didn't say a word. He accepted him in, ordered in his favorite dinner, and watched Phantom of the Opera with him until he was asleep on the coziest spot on the long couch. Byakuya slept on the fainting couch without a single complaint.

Hiro is the most well-adjusted of the six of them due to his age, maturity, and tools that he picked up from past therapy appointments as a kid. He thinks of them like siblings, and they're all his favorites.

Despite this, Hiro does get nightmares.

Aoi didn't react to her brother dying until a week later when it hit her that all of her family was gone. She saw Komaru and Makoto talking together at his house and went into the guest room, curled up into the closet, and completely broke down. Byakuya found her and quietly sat with her until she was calm enough to talk it out. He of all people understands.

Makoto never went back to his childhood home. He was too afraid of what he'd find.

I hope you sobbed like I did, goodbye~

The DGR write up is not one most would expect, in fact - it comes from a more personal level.

Nothing could have prepared me for the day's event. Sure I had my camera and film packed the night before. What I mean by being prepared is, just a few hours earlier I had learned that a friend, a fellow motorcycle enthusiast - a fellow rider had passed away. My ride to NYC from Philadelphia was a quiet one. I distinctly remember having just a few things on my mind. Paul (my friend who had passed) being one of them. His young daughter that he leaves behind. The fact that he had sole custody of her since the mother of his child wanted nothing to do with either of them. Paul was just 29 years of age and less than a week shy of turning 30. You all would have loved him. He was as genuine as they get.

Before the 500+ riders took off from Grand Central Station, I did my best to do what I do, that is capture moments of people's lives and the machines that they love. That ‘two wheel therapy’. Looking through the viewfinder, seeing so many smiling faces brought mixed feelings to the point of me having to stop for two reasons. One of joy, I had to take it all in. All these people would be riding in solidarity for a great cause. It defines the meaning of community. It's not just about the bikes or what they ride....but the people. I had this urge to thank each and every one of them. I sat down for a while listening to the city and the sounds of roaring motorcycles as they went off in the distance. For just a little while I was able to smile for a bit. The second reason was, I had to ask myself a hard question. What am I even doing here? That weighed heavily on me. I felt broken in some odd way. I had just lost a friend.

It’s now Saturday the 28th 2pm (2022). As I wrote this, chain smoking cigarettes, having paid my respects to Pauls family at his service earlier in the day. I thought about the people I've captured on film. Pouring over all the photos that I would be giving back to the DGR organization. Being reminded of the generous donors who support the DGR and what it stands for. I also thought of those who are battling prostate cancer and most of all those who are too proud to seek help, when they really need it. You know, that stigma we’re so afraid to even talk about, let alone mention. Mens mental health. I thought about Paul too.

In my lifetime, I’ve lost friends to cancer and suicide. As I looked around at the hundreds of people who came out for the DGR ride NYC, thinking about those who donated to the organization that couldn’t attend, at some point in their lifetime, by some degree of separation they have also suffered a loss too. What does one even say? I don’t even know.

What I do know is: DGR is, One day of solidarity. From its inception to current date the organization is recognized globally. I am grateful for having been invited to lend my eye and record the day.
