⚠️TRIGGER WARNING FOR ABUSE AND BULLYING⚠️
Please if you're sensitive to that then please don't read!

Gundham looked around at the unfamiliar scenery. When Monokuma gave the announcement about his failed motive, it seemed Gundham had passed out. He assumed this was part of the punishment for the motive that didn't work. Gundham looked at the green grass, tall trees and the school across the street from where he woke up, Gundham saw people pass by, and pass through him. "Hm..strange. I must be taking the form of some ghost in this world" Gundham spoke looked at the school, something was compelling about it for him. Compelling enough where the next second he found himself standing in front of the door. Gundham sighed and tried to push the door open only to see his hand went right through. Gundham sighed, he knew he was most likely going to keep forgetting he was some sort of ghost as he walked into the school. He saw some kids in the hall, they didn't look older then 10 years old. Gundham looked at the kids, "It's, just a school." He crossed his arms, his four dark devas crawled out of his scarf, "What is it my dark devas?" He asked and held them in his hands while looking down at them. Just as then one of them jumped out of his hand and ran, "S-San-D get back here!" He yelled and ran after the small hamster. The hamster stopped and Gundham scooped her up into his hands, "What were you thinking? I don't want you to get lost." He said. The hamster sadly squeaked and faced away from Gundham, he sighed, "I'm sorry, just a bit on edge" Gundham said as the hamster crawled back to his scarf. Gundham heard crying nearby, almost sobbing. Gundham followed the crying to a hallway with lockers, he saw three kids, one kid had his back against a locker and the other two were laughing at him. Gundham walked over to the kids to get a better look at them. The kid who was crying and also had his back against the locker had short black hair with black eyes and glasses. One kid, who was doing most of the talking, had brown hair with red eyes while the other kid had purple hair with green eyes and braces. Gundham looked at the crying kid and then at the other two, it became clear what was happening here, this is a bullying scenario. "Aw is poor baby Souda gunna cry?" The brown haired kid asked while the purple haired one just stuck his tongue out at him. Gundham's eyes widened a bit, "Souda-?" He turned to the kid who was crying. "I-I don't know what-t I did wrong!" He cried, "Give him his little toy" The brown hair boy commanded and on cue the purple haired kid pulled out..what looked like a broken robot. "Here" He said and tossed it at Kazuichi. Kaz failed to catch it so it fell to the ground, he looked at it and seemed to cry more. "Sorry, we broke it!" The brown haired boy said and laughed, "Did that mortal really experience this kind of treatment?" Gundham asked himself. He tried to stop the kids by tapping his shoulder but nothing happened as expected. "You're luck it's already the end of the day otherwise we'd stay and chat some more" The brown haired boy said and gave his backpack to the purple haired kid who carried his own backpack and this other kids backpack. "Say hi to your dad for me!" They yelled and ran while giggling like they just did some harmless prank. Kazuichi sat on his knees and slowly picked up the bits and pieces of the broken robot and put them in his pocket. Gundham felt really bad...but what could he do? Kazuichi couldn't feel or hear him, at this moment Gundham really did feel like a ghost. He watch as the kid sadly walked away while wiping tears away, Gundham went after him with his hands in his pockets. He watched as everyone grabbed a friend to walk home with, not Kazuichi. He grabbed his backpack and walked out, Gundham of course followed. Gundham looked at the house. All of them seemed pretty small. Gundham saw that Kazuichi was still crying, He wondered why his hair and eyes were black and not the bright pink he was used to. "Kazuichi must've dyed his hair at a later time" Gundham said to his hamsters as Kaz kept walking. After what seemed like forever they made it to a small house at the end of the road, "Why must he walk so far alone?" He didn't like this at all. Especially with how young he was. Kazuichi walked to the door and grabbed a key from his pocket and put it in the keyhole and turned it so it unlocked. Kazuichi slowly opened the door and then closed it behind him, Gundham walked through the door and saw the house was a complete mess. Beer bottles and such on the ground. Gundham could smell alcohol and it made him gag a bit, he absolutely hated the smell of alcohol. He saw that Kazuichi seemed to not be too bothered by this which shocked him. "H-Hello?" Kaz called putting and put the key in his pocket, they were met with silence. Kazuichi walked to the living room and Gundham followed. Gundham saw a man sitting on a chair while watching tv, he had a beer bottle in his hand. Kazuichi hesitated for a minute before speaking, "I..I'm back.." Kaz said sheepishly while looking at the ground. Gundham paid close attention to the man in the chair who he assumed was Kazuichi's father. The man sighed and turned his head to Kazuichi, "Just when I was having fun" He said and looked down at his now empty beer bottle. "Why don't you be useful for once and go get me another drink" He said and placed the empty bottle on the ground. Kazuichi nods and ran to the kitchen where the fridge was, Gundham kept his eye on the man. Kazuichi came back with a bottle in his hands and walked to over to the man, "Here.." Kaz said and backed up after giving it to him. The man looked at the label and then back at Kaz, "Kazuichi, this is the wrong kind" He said, "Come here" He held out the bottle. Gundham didn't trust the situation, Kazuichi on the other hand had no problem with walking over there to grab the bottle. However, instead of Kaz grabbing the bottle, the man swiftly moved it and smacked him in the chest with the bottle. "Kaz-!" Gundham tried to call as Kazuichi fell to the ground while covering the spot he was hit, "The excuse that you didn't know won't work, we both know exactly what kind I wanted." The father said coldly as he threw the bottle on the ground right next to Kazuichi. The bottle smashed, getting alcohol and little shards of glass on him. "Leave." The father said and Kazuichi ran upstairs crying, Gundham glared at the man and followed Kazuichi. When Gundham got there Kaz had already changed into a new shirt, he was sitting on the ground crying. Gundham sat down next to the crying boy, he wished he could do something, anything, in this situation. But he just couldn't. Even Kazuichi's room smelled like alcohol, Gundham tried to pat Kaz's back but it just fazed right through him. Gundham sighed and looked at the celling with chipped paint, Gundham only looked back at Kazuichi when he heard snoring. "How can he sleep in a environment like this? Let alone on the floor" He sighed, he felt himself grow tired as well. Gundham yawned, he felt exhausted, Gundham wanted to sleep so when he woke up he would be back at his cottage, or even better, at his house. Gundham laid back against the bed and slowly closing his eyes, still hoping to wake up back home

Gundham woke up to yelling. He looked around and saw he was still In Kazuichi's room. He sighed and saw Kazuichi had moved, he was now laying flat on the floor, Gundham went over to him to make sure he was okay only to notice he wasn't moving nor snoring which worried Gundham a bit. "Kazuichi!" His father called from downstairs, Gundham panicked just a tiny bit, "Kazuichi, you need to wake up.." Of course Gundham got no response. What was he expecting? Gundham heard something that worried him, or...it was more of the lack of hearing something. The lack of breathing from the child. Gundham couldn't hear any breathing other then his own, "Kazuichi, you need to-"
"Aye Kazuichi! I've been calling for your dumbass for 5 minutes!" The father burst through the door and yelled. "Oh I see, you think fake sleeping will trick me? Well it won't! Wake up!" The father yelled and grabbed Kaz by the shoulders and tried to stand him up only for the child to fall to the ground as soon as the father let go. "If you really are asleep, I guess I just gotta wake you up" He said and lifted his foot over Kazuichi. "No!" Gundham yelled, his instincts kicked in and he tried to tackle the man, only to go right through him and fall to the ground, almost hitting the wall in front of him
STOMP
Gundham didn't even have time to react, he heard coughing shortly after. "Get up, we gotta go" He said said and left, leaving the child having a hard time breathing. Gundham quickly went to Kaz again to check on him only to black out immediately.

"Hey! Wake up!" Gundham woke up by Monokuma yelling at him, "I'm...back?" He looked around, "Yep! Welcome back!" Monokuma yelled. "Where is everyone?" He asked, "You're the second to wake up, that's why" Monokuma said. "Who else is awake?" Gundham asked only for Monokuma to stay silent. He sighed and stood up, "Well if you have nothing important to say then I will leave" He said and walked to the cottages. He walked past Kazuichi's cottage as he walked to his own.
