Gumi is normally your average teenager; she gets A on her report cards but she's an underachiever. She struggles in some of her classes. Her parents Lily and Gakupo are the perfect parents. She has a little brother named Ryuto and a younger sister named Cul. Cul is in 5th grade and Ryuto is only a toddler. Their father Gakupo is a Kendo teacher where Lily is a doctor who works in Japan. Gumi rarely sees her mother. She brings in the money they need. Gumi only saw Lily on the weekends but she was always, had no one to look up to. She had no boyfriend. She used to date Kaito but they broke up when she learned that he dated Miku. She wasn't ready so it didn't scar her as much. She has a secret that her parents don't know about. She's secretly an addict, her parent's don't know but she was able to hide her symptoms. Ryuto most likely will never meet Gumi when he's old enough to remember but she desperately needed saving.

"Gumi wake up." Cul says jumping on her bed.

"Get off." Gumi says rubbing the drowsiness out of her eyes.

"Hey Gumi I made you some carrot soup to eat, hurry up before it gets cold." Gakupo shouts from downstairs.

Gumi quickly runs to the bathroom and checks her face. She feels a rush down her spine, and looks back. Gumi quickly locks the bathroom door; she cries for a bit, she's been miserable since freshman year and started using different drugs. Mixing certain drugs to get a certain high. She couldn't control herself anymore. Fear of her parents finding out resulted in her sneaking out and going to parties so she could get the drug. She almost hurt Cul when she got aggressive, her skin is starting to show how bad her addiction really is. Lily is already suspicious as it is since she already had a few addicts she had to deal with.

Gumi begins to drink some water from the faucet. Her face was pale and green eyes that are blood shot. She starting to lose part of her vision. She brushes her rotting teeth, which is why she rarely smiles. She takes a quick shower and meets up with Cul and her father who was holding Ryuto. He takes care of Ryuto every day.

"Gumi what is it like in High School?" Cul asks.

"Drama." Gumi states harshly.

"Easy on your tone Gumi." Gakupo says

"Does it look like I care." Gumi replies leaving to go to school.

Time Skip

School was pretty difficult for Gumi. She doesn't care anymore, to her getting high was more important. She walks inside the school, Luka and Miku who are sisters are walking together. The two are fraternal twins, Luka is the taller one. She has only 4 periods a day which is Math, English, Social Studies, and Gym. However, Gumi skips her gym class considering the teacher works them too hard. Since it's the end of the day she usually just leaves after 3rd period. She walks into her first period classroom, math and Mr. Smith who was her math teacher. She turned in the homework that she barely finished. He started talking about how to find the area of a shape. She falls asleep as he continued to talk. She slept until the end and woke up when SeeU was trying to wake her up. She gets up and moves on to her second class. Her muscles are aching from not having proper support from her pillow.

"Hey Gumi are you going to that party? It's Friday you know." Mayu says.

Gumi looks up and nods she decided to go to her class. Her and Mayu were really good friends. She helps her out in need and in turn Mayu lets Gumi sleepover when she needs to. Of course their parents are okay with the arrangement. Mayu and Gumi had the same classes as each other. Mayu wasn't going because she had to babysit her little cousins. The day progressed and Gumi always sat alone at the lunch table. She went to her 3rd period afterward and skipped her last period so she could go smoke outside. She needed to feel 'normal,' her mom was never there. She felt her father favorited her little brother over her; feeling forgotten by everyone. Using drugs were her escape but she didn't know how to feel.

She walked out the building and into the woods nearby. She puts a joint into her mouth and lights it up. Taking a deep breath in, she feels the rush she always longs for. Her nerves calmed down, she's miserable and today she's going to the party but it could be her last. Her mother Lily comes home around 8 p.m. local time. Gumi walks back but her stomach starts hurting. She walks toward the bush and starts throwing up, for a few minutes she couldn't think straight, but walks back toward the buses and gets on hers. She went to her stop and walked to Al's house who was 10 blocks away but she was used to walking alone. Her siblings may never see her again but she doesn't care anyway. Her mother was never there and her father never made time to spend it with Gumi. As a result, Gumi became addicted to drugs and they never see her.

"Hey Al." Gumi says shyly.

"Gumi it's been a while. What happened to your arms they look so bad?" Al says eying her scarred arms.

"Its fine." Gumi says.

"Look I'm worried. Have you been scratching? Are you even high." Al say worried.

"No! I'm fine, I don't, I'm alright." she says.

Al wasn't going but they started kissing each other as he hugged her tightly. Al loved Gumi but he tries to get her off her addiction. Gumi wants to quit but always felt miserable afterward and as a result she uses more and is getting worse. Al already seen her teeth and feels bad that she even resorted to using drugs.

At The party

Gumi walks toward her friend Sachiko's house and they are going to the party at 6 p.m., Gumi lights up another joint outside with Sachiko as they both smoke. Sachiko's little brother is at daycare until 7 which is when her mom picks him up. The two kept smoking and spoke.

"So how's Al?" Sachiko asks.

"He's great, can't believe I ended up with him."

"Good thing I introduced him to you."

"Yeah, he's perfect." Gumi says.

The two went to the party, they were greeted by Sonika who tends to host. She brings the two in and they start partying. Gumi goes to the back where two other teens were smoking. She smokes two joints as she talks with one of the teens. She's enjoying herself around friends, this was where she belonged. Time was slowing down for Gumi and she felt relieved, able to concentrate because she didn't get it back home. Gumi grabs some snacks from the table. Gumi was out of it already.

"Gumi you should use another joint." Someone tells her.

She grabs a few drinks and takes her surroundings in. Sonika was in the back making out with her boyfriend. However, she's starting to feel a tight pain in her chest but she kept partying.

"Yo come on with me." Tony says grabbing Gumi to the door.

"Back off me." She replies.

Tony grabbed her and pushed her down. Gumi punched him in the face and stomach. She feels someone grab her as she attacked her pursuer She tries to find Sonika who already left. She starts becoming fearful of her surroundings as she walks back home. She knew her mom might be worried.

She walked back to her house but unknowingly walked into the park at night. There were a few people taking their nightly stroll. Gumi was freaking out more and more. A few walkers passed by her. A man walks up to her concerned, and he was a doctor. He tries to reason with her but Gumi couldn't comprehend and as a result she gets worse at time passes by. It's already 8:30 p.m., and she faints trying to catch her pained breaths. He called an ambulance, Gumi heard screams and sirens around. She fell asleep and unsure of her actions. The man that was a doctor found her and stayed with her until they reached to the hospital.

The man kept worrying about her. Despite being a doctor he knew how to treat her for her symptoms. Gumi was crying in pain, he waited for 5 minutes until they go to the hospital. He took her wallet and spoke with the doctor that was there at the time. He mentions that her name is Gumi Kamui. The other looked up her name and immediately notified her parents. The doctor that found her his name was Kiyoyeru. Gumi was psychotic and she was struggling to stay alive. Her body was giving up.
