(WARNING! MORE ANGST)

Kaminari is now home, grounded for a while. He's in his bedroom, sobbing in bed, curled up in a fetal position and next to him on his bedside table is a photo of him and Jirou together when they were shopping for supplies for the summer camp.

He's still a sad mess. He looks on his table to see a glass bottle of coke and he gets up from bed, sniffling and he picks up the bottle from the top and he smacks it against his wall, making the edges sharp and he begins thinking...

Kaminari's thoughts: I've got nothing left...I can just...I can do this!

He begins pointing it at his throat ready to jab the bottle into his neck. But before he can do that, a song plays on his radio and he listens to the first words of the song.

"Everybody wants to go to Heaven."

Kaminari gasps softly and he begins shaking he drops the broken bottle onto the ground and he whimpers and falls to his knees, remembering something. Suicide=going to Hell.

Kaminari: "What am I doing?! *SOB*"

He cries again. He leans against his bed, crying like a man who's going cold turkey. He sobs once more and the song still plays in the room as he cries more. He crawls onto his bed and stuffs his face into the pillow and lets out a shriek of sadness. Kaminari looks up at the ceiling and he begins shouting.

Kaminari: "WHAT DO I DO?! I'm a fffffucking mess...*SOB*"

He grips his bed sheets tightly and cries more. The pikachu feels useless now. His dreams crushed, his friends gone, his family...they probably don't love him anymore because of what he's done. He failed to be something he dreamt of and he lied to his friends and failed something so big.

1 week later...

Kaminari's a broken, walking tragedy. He's now free from home but he's not allowed to visit UA and he's strolling through the night streets of Musutafu. He's got a grey hoodie on with black jeans and black high tops on. He looks and sees a 711 there and he goes inside to buy something. He checks his wallet to see he's only got a very small amount of money left. He grabs out 500 yen and he buys a few snacks in the mini-mart before walking back out to the streets to eat them on a bench.

This is a new habit for him. Stress eating. He's been eating some ice cream at home and now, here he is eating up crisps. He opens a bag of Doritos and begins snacking. He finishes the whole bag in 4 minutes and moves on to eat a packet of Cheetohs. Before he can open up the bag, 2 men in dark clothes approach him and they look at him with some shit-eating grins.

Thug: "Well, well, what do we have here? A boy, alone...sad. Where's your mother, kid?"

Thug 2: "Probably left the little shit to rot."

The man scoffs and slaps the Cheetoh bag out of Kaminari's hand and he gasps softly and he sinks into the bench, sweating and afraid.

Kaminari: "Please! Please don't hurt me! I've suffered enough--

Then, the man grabs Kaminari by his hoodie top and he gets shoved onto the ground. The street's nearly empty today and the shopkeeper at the 711 in front of him is turning a blind eye, not wanting to get involved. The 2 men then start kicking the poor boy and they spit on him too and Kaminari does his best to cover his face.

Then, the 2 men stop after hearing a raised voice of a man. They all look down the road to see a man in a suit and a flat cap and he gives the 2 men a glare and he grabs 2 knuckle-dusters from his pocket and he cracks them too.

???: "If this is how you treat people in this part of town, it's time I teach you lessons called respect. This is the boss lady's turf."

Thug: "Well, it looks like the mob's lapdog's here to play! LET'S HAVE IT!"

The 2 thugs get into a fighting stance and Kaminari grabs his shopping bag and Cheetohs and crawls away and hides behind a parked car on the road. He peaks over and sees the man beat the first thug up with jabs to the stomach and jaw. The man blocks a hit from another thug and he punches him in the chest before right hooking the thug in the face, knocking him out. However, the man then gets pushed onto the ground by the first thug who rams into him from behind and begins strangling him. The second thug is completely out cold and Kaminari begins feeling a burst of adrenaline and he gets up and he places his snacks on the side before deciding to do what a hero would do. Save the man. He begins charging up, catching the thug's attention and he gasps in shock.

Thug: "HOLY FUCK!"

Kaminari: "Indiscriminate shock! 1 million volts!"

*BRRRRT*

He unleashes a burst of electricity on the man and the thug begins getting electrocuted by Kaminari's quirk. However, Kaminari uses too much to the point where the man begins screaming in pain and Kaminari starts to turn dumb.

*BOOM*

Kaminari: "Y...yay..."

*THUD*

He fainted. The man who saved Kaminari gets up off the ground and dusts himself off before taking off the knuckle-dusters and looking at Kaminari. He smiles softly and walks over and carries the kid and takes the snacks that he dropped on the side.

???: "Let's get you to a safe area."

He keeps walking on and on and he walks down the streets of Musutafu for a few minutes until he ends up at the entrance to a train station. before he walks down the steps, the yellow boy in his arms wakes up and looks at the man who drops Kaminari and he lands on his feet.

Kaminari: "AH! Oof!"

???: "Are you ok?"

Kaminari: "Wh- who are you?! What happened to those guys?!"

???: "Hush now, hush now, hush now. You're fine. You saved me, kid. I'm grateful. Here's a way I can repay you."

He reaches into his pocket and grabs out a wallet and pulls out some money for Kaminari. 1550,000 Yen for Kaminari. The Pikachu looks in shock and he gets the money and the man smiles and pats Kaminari's head.

???: "For saving my arse. I'm sure if you come around the restaurant named Utsukushi's, you'll be greeted with open arms."

Kaminari: "Uh... Are you a rich chef? The owner?"

The man lets out a laugh.

???: "Haha! Ahaha! No. No I'm just a friend of someone's who works there. I sometimes help out. I'll be sure to tell them."

He checks his watch and he gasps softly and he clears his throat.

???: "As much as I'd like to chit chat all day, I better go. I'm gonna be late."

He tips his hat to Kaminari who waves goodbye and the man walks down to the station to board a train to the district. Kaminari looks at the money in hand and he puts it in his pocket and walks away.

Kaminari's thoughts: Who was that guy??? A rich boxer maybe? I should go to Utsukushi's, I gotta know! Wait...

He grabs out his phone to check out the restaraunt and there, it shows that it's a restaraunt with a 4.5 star rating and he sees that it opens tomorrow morning at 8:15 AM. Kaminari checks the time to see that it's just 21:39 PM and he sighs.

Kaminari: "Maybe tomorrow... Crap I should get home, my parents are gonna be worried sick!
