Whumptober 2023 Day 29: Scented Candle/Troubled Past Resurfacing/What happened to me?
Mob knows he's wrong. He's know since the day he could speak, the day he ventured outside his family unit and spoke with peers, that he was made incorrectly. His very core, his very way of speaking and habits and interactions, were bathed in a sense of malpractice he could hardly understand. Students and friends and adults would forever gaze at him with a curious look, fretting and whispering, full of scorn that he could not be like the rest. He's not human he feels, even if he wasn't an Esper, because he cannot act like a person, nor does he feel people treat him like one, and for good reason. He must try at what comes naturally to humans, to being a person, and he fails each time.
Or
A candle bleeds introspection, and Mob struggles with his role in his life and how others perceive him, despite his best abilities to be someone that people can love.

Whumptober 2023 Day 26: Seeing Double/Working to Exhaustion/You look awful
He's just...Mob. He's Mob and he feels, but his face does not and he's alright with that.
It's different when Reigen says it. Reiegn is his Master, his mentor, the supposed greatest physic of the 21st century though Mob knows that to be a facade, has for years, and the man knows him in and out. He tells him he's fine as he is, he's fine to act the way he does and listen the way he does and speak the way he does, and there is never any scorn from the man when it comes to his peculiar personality. If Reiegn has picked up on his newfound habit, charged with fear and a desire to protect, then Mob must truly look awful.
Or
Mob believes a lack of sleep will protect the world from his powers. He didn't count on Reigen catching him in the act.

Whumptober 2023 Day 22: Glass Shard/Vehicular Accident/Watch out!
Reigen clucks his tongue, shifting through his tattered wallet, coins jingling and paper crinkling as he does so, trying to keep a somewhat neutral face as the taxi driver glares at him from the mirror. He’s an angry, ugly man, matted beard and beady eyes that raked down Mob and him in a manner that make Reigen cringe as he waved him down, but there isn’t really another option. He was the first taxi they had seen in ages, and the clock was ticking, and Reigen relented only because he was about seventy percent sure he could crush the dude in a fight. Maybe sixty.
Still, he hopes it doesn’t come to that, because even if he managed to coo his way into the car despite the man insisting he was done for the day, he doesn’t know if he has enough to pay him for the ride. A train, a subway, even a strangers car they hitchhiked with would be preferable to this. Reigen wonders if maybe they should have just walked.
Or
Too late to walk home, Reigen and Mob head back to the city in a sketchy taxi. Anxiety peaks when Reigen doesn’t recognize the way back.

Whumptober 2023 Day 19: Floral Bouquet/Psychology/I'm not as stupid as you think I am
“Why, Master,” he whispered to Reigen once, petals in his hair, when he visited, desperate for company beyond that of his grieving parents. “Why do people give flowers?”
His master had looked at him from across the table, a bento in front of him and another pushed towards Mob, his chin in his hands and eyes grieved. Scruff dotted his face, and his tie was undone. “To show compassion, I guess.”
Mob stared at his own bento then, numb to the world. The flowers in his hands he wished would wilt and be with his brother. Compassion was beautiful. Flowers were beautiful. Death was not. Flowers may have matched the emotion, but not the situation.
Or maybe it was just another one of those things he didn’t understand.
Or
Guilt and blame haunts him, and Mob has no idea how to deal with the looming thought that all of this, all the grief and pain and flowers that taint his house, is all his fault. He should have done more.

Summary
Whumptober 2023 Day 17: Collar/Touch Aversion/Leave me alone
Mob shakes his head slightly, a little jerk of his chin and his hair ruffles with the movement. The pencil in his hand flips as he fiddles with it, and Reigen tries to catch sight of his eyes, but Mob won’t look at him and keeps his eyes pointed to the floor like he’s trying to purposely avoid his gaze. “No, master,” he says blankly. “Easy day.”
Reigen purses his lips, and gives a wave of his hand. “Ah, must be nice. Lots of calls today.”
Mob stiffens. It’s such a docile, slight movement that Reigen wouldn’t never noticed if he wasn’t watching him out of the corner of his eye. He can only truly tell because the pencil in his hand stills, eraser up, and his feet plant on the floor instead of rocking at the heel. Concern, thick and choking, grips Reigens throat.
Or
A change in Mob’s behavior rattles Reigen, but he’s unsure of how to approach it because he doesn’t want Mob to feel he can’t be himself in the office. Still, peculiar changes loom, and it all comes to a head after a simple case.

Summary
Whumptober 2023 Day 14: Flare/Water Inhalation/Just hold on
Don’t dip your toe in the water and expect not to get wet.
It’s an idiom Reigen grew up hearing tossed around his household. His mother shouted it with worried hands and fling wrists when Reigen toed the line of something silly or stupid. His father spat it when Reigen came back with sloppy test results and bruised knees and homework blotted with red ink. His sister sighed it with murmured words when Reigen shuffled in with a muddy face and tardy notices. Don’t dip your toe in the water and expect not to get wet. Don’t do anything without expecting consequences.
Reigen thought it such a negative, despairing way to live.
Or
Too hot in Seasoning City for work, Reigen takes the boys on a much needed swim. He watches them, mindful of the scar on his back. Maybe a quick wade would do him good.

Summary
Whumptober 2023 Day 13: Cold Compress/Infection/I don't feel so good
He can’t quite remember why it hurts so much. It’s that why he’s shaking? He didn’t think people shook unless they were cold. Or maybe it is when they are hot. He tries to remember which one it is and his head flares, burning, and he drops his pencil. A soft sound leaves his lips and the world feels like it’s wrapped in bubble wrap. What was he working on again?
Mob looks back to the paper. Numbers stare back. That’s right. Math. He’s working on math. A problem mixed with letters and numbers stretches on the page and he goes to write it down again, to start solving it in a way that escapes him right now, and his finger crunches against the paper instead. Pain shoots down his wrist and he furrows his eyebrows, drawing his pointer across the paper. Lines don’t appear, and numbers don’t write.
Oh. He dropped his pencil. He’d forgotten about that.
Or
Math is confusing, but Mob doesn't think that's what's causing his head to ache so much. Not only that, he can't remember why his wrist hurts or why he feels hot. Maybe Reigen can help him out.

Summary
Whumptober 2023 Day 11: Animal Trap/Captivity/No one will find you
“Cmon, cmon, cmon,” he urges it, heart drumming and sweat on his brow and he spins around, twisting on his heel when the leaves near his head reach out and brush his skin. Wide eyed and spluttering, he sticks his phone out like a weapon, hand shuddering and half blinking screen providing less light that a match. He squares his trembling body and pulls in a breath, ready to scream or swear to scare off whatever is approaching him.
A little squirrel, chittering and happy with a nut looking thing it’s in mouth, pops out of the bushes and stares at the light with its beady eyes, tilting its head with a chirp. Reigen stares back for second, body awash with adrenaline, before slumping his shoulders and giving a shaky laugh.
“Just a squirrel,” he chuckles, feeling like a typical movie protagonist, and shakes his head. “Just a damn squirrel.”
Or
In typical Reigen fashion, the way home after after a job takes a dangerous, agonizing turn, and he finds that he is completely alone as he tries to scramble for help in the dead of night.
