Nostophobia

Gokuhara Gonta

I'm not too happy with this chapter compared to the last one. I'm sorry. I think it's okay, but not great. I've tried my best.

Gokuhara = in-game.
Gonta = child.

After Amami locked himself away, Monokuma took Rantaro from the academy. The robot said that he wasn't needed anymore, and Rantaro remaining around would only be annoying for him and useless for his motive. A few people caught the robot muttering how it would be traumatising for the child to remain. No one knew what Monokuma meant.

Now, everyone ate dinner together. They couldn't talk much, all worried about Amami since he hadn't appeared since the morning's situation. Akamatsu and Shirogane explained what happened to everyone as soon as Rantaro disappeared, not wanting to say it in front of the child. Everyone seemed sorry for Amami and Ouma even said he'd forgive him for punching him. He hadn't had a chance so far.

"How long does Amami need to jack off so he can get over his dead sister?!" Ouma whined loudly into the silent dining hall, earning many looks of disgust.

"The death of a sister is quite traumatising. He may never move on from this." Shinguji Korekiyo's black, cloth mask muffled his voice.

"Yonaga thinks that Shinguji is speaking from experience!" The white-haired woman's cheerful tone about a grim situation gave everyone whiplash. People spoke up and told her that was personal information, which seemed to please Shinguji.

Everyone yelped when rapid thuds sounded on the dining room door. Both large, wooden doors swung open and thudded against the wall, but everyone focused on the intruder. A small child ran through the door, wearing dirty and ripped clothes with long, olive-green hair matted in large chunks. It looked like Gokuhara...

Akamatsu jumped from her seat to approach Gonta sprawled on the ground. When she reached out to help him stand, he growled and sunk his teeth into her hand. She shouted in pain and shock, jumping back and yanking her hand free as Gonta continued to growl and snarl. Anyone who went to help also paused, unsure of Gonta's stability.

Gokuhara rushed forward, easily able to wade through everyone with his large build. He stormed toward Gonta and grabbed the back of his shirt, making him kick the air with his small feet. "Gonta! No biting! Biting hurts people! Is not gentleman-like!" The child continued to growl before barking at Gokuhara. It was impressively accurate to that of a real wolf.

Ouma began rolling on the floor, beginning to laugh so hard that he sobbed, seeming to find the barking hilarious. Tojo tended to Akamatsu who tried to pretend that she wasn't crying. Her hand wasn't bleeding but purple teeth marks stood out against her reddening skin.

Sighing, Gokuhara placed Gonta back onto the floor. The child remained still for a few moments before running to the dining table. He grabbed a steak from the closest plate to him - which happened to be Yonaga's - and shoved it into his mouth. Gnawing like a rabid dog, he ripped and yanked the meat with his teeth, making particles of food fly everywhere.

"That's not manly, dude!" Momota Kaito yelled at the child. Tojo muttered something about cleanliness but focused on calming Akamatsu. Iruma Miu fussed over the woman and Tojo needed to bat her away like a fly.

When Gokuhara glared at Gonta, the child whimpered and began backing away until he was in the corner. Meat limply hung from his mouth for a few moments before he slowly continued to eat. "Gentlemen do not steal!"

Harukawa Maki scoffed from where she quietly continued to eat, seeming unfazed by the commotion. It took a lot to make her crack. No one had ever seen her smile, much less physically show interest in anything except for escaping the killing game. "Gonta's a child, not a gentleman."
