It's the mid-2010s and EDEN is the big shit. Hackers are a thing, Digimon are a thing, isolated weird digital wave occurrences are a thing, like CAT GHOSTS and other bullshit. Under Zero hasn't happened yet. All seems quiet...

In a world after the end of the world, EDEN exists - or is in development - but the worlds never collided so disastrously, Digimon and humans never met, and Erika Mishima never existed. The worlds are still linked, but only just so. Hudiemon watches the real world in the guise of a vision of a butterfly, and some can see it.

Same as the first option, but Digimon never existed, Kishibe never pulled her shit, and there is no miracle ending waiting in the wings for the Mishima family.

As in canon, a company pioneering virtual reality technology gave Erika a second stab at life. As in canon, Ryuji Mishima founded the hacker organization Hudie. And as in canon, Rie Kishibe blackmailed him with his sister's life, forcing him into corporate espionage and sabotage. Unlike in canon, Erika found out in her own time, her exposure of Kishibe's crimes sent the corrupt executive off a roof, and there was no Digimon in her body pulling off a last-minute save. The skills Erika developed over years spent preparing for her revenge - and her computer-enhanced brain - warranted an acceptance to Hope's Peak Academy; she sees her attendance and future success as a way to repay everything her brother gave up to keep her alive. She's either the SHSL Hacker or SHSL Virtual Reality depending on how you feel about reused titles and weird abstract ones.
