"While Satoru was 'betting time' asleep in his coma, what became of the lives his childhood friends lived without him? This special extra volume of Erased checks in on the lives of Satoru's friends and the bonds they wove thanks to the chances at life his 'revival' gave them"--Provided by publisher.

Satoru is making great strides toward recovery, despite the gaping hole in his memory. But after a chance encounter with a stranger named Airi, Satoru realizes the fragments of 'dreams' from when he was asleep must be memories from another timeline; and Airi, from a future that no longer exists. As Satoru begins to piece together the events leading up to the incident, he finds himself once again in the thick of the investigation that cost him so much fifteen years ago. Every step closer to the truth is one step closer to a dangerous killer, who is himself eager for another confrontation. Can Satoru put an end to the slippery serial murderer before he strikes again?.

Twenty-nine-year-old Satoru Fujinuma is floundering through life.

While he's relieved to see his mother and his old friends again, his thoughts are focused on future kidnapping and murder victim Hinazuki Kayo.
