After MARI's Death SUNNY Headcanons

(Discontinued)

A/N: Another headcanon thing from my Wattpad! My friend had been really looking forward to these so I gotta keep em coming! I don't really know how I feel about this one but I hope you like it!

Warnings: Mentions of death and grief

Word Count: 1.1k

- Let's go trauma club! :D

- SUNNY after MARI's passing was in shock about all that had just happened, he didn't know what to think or what to feel. But it didn't really matter since he blocked out all feelings anyway. 

- He remembers that BASIL had tried to tell him that everything was okay but he wasn't sure he could actually believe that.

- He wanted to believe it, he really did, but it just didn't seem right, he didn't feel like everything was going to be okay.

- SUNNY was really out of it, he almost stopped responding to people completely, sometimes the people who tried to speak with him often didn't even think he could hear them.

- Sometimes SUNNY didn't even think he could hear them, though he did, he just never knew what to say back. Was he supposed to say something back?

- He was awake a lot more than he would later be around the first week after. During this time headspace was starting to form and become a thing in his mind.

- He stayed in his room lots but would sometimes leave, though he never looked at the stairs, nor did he walk down them. He instead only really went into the bathroom. 

- SUNNY decided to look out the window that was next to the bathroom one day, despite the gut feeling he shouldn't and saw his dad chopping down the tree he and BASIL...

- His dad had even looked up at SUNNY, but the look his dad had on his face said anything but friendly. He looked like he was about to kill SUNNY. So SUNNY naturally got scared and ran back to his room. Hoping his dad hadn't actually noticed him.

- He tried to avoid his dad for the rest of the time he was there, and he wasn't very surprised to hear that his dad had left. Of course he felt a little bad hearing his mom break down into tears but he couldn't comfort her, he didn't want to get close to the stairs, let alone go down them.

-  He returned to his room, and just laid on his bed, staring at his ceiling, guilt slowly creeping into his mind. His dad wouldn't have left if MARI was still alive, his mom would've been okay. But now nothing was okay and it was all his fault.

- SUNNY found himself sleeping more everyday after that, but the sleep was nice, he enjoyed his dreams, they were a lot better than the real world.   

- One day his mother walked into his room to check up on him since it was around noon and he had yet to leave his room. When she walked in however he was still asleep, she decided it would be better to just let him rest, she knew he was tired. They all were

- This continues everyday, but she lets him sleep, because at night she heard him moving around in his room, so she knew he woke up eventually, that's all that mattered right?

- What he did in his room at night his mom had no clue and SUNNY couldn't even remember. Every time he woke up he was still mostly asleep, so when he did things it was his body moving on autopilot.

- SUNNY would go down the stairs, which was never something he'd do, but since he was basically not awake he did. He'd grab food that was in the fridge, eat it, and put the dish into the sink all without really waking up.

- He did this every single night so his mother stopped worrying after a little while. He was still eating, still using the bathroom, and still sleeping. Though she did notice that he started to smell after some time of doing this. But she couldn't really get anything out of him, so she knew that asking him to take a bath wouldn't have done anything since he would've just ignored her.

- His mom would leave the house more and more and he wouldn't even notice, too busy dreaming away. 

- It got to a point where she would leave for nights, so! She started to leave little sticky notes around for SUNNY so he'd remember to take care of himself. Of course she was unsure if he even read them but she hoped he did! At least sometimes.

- SUNNY didn't though, way too busy in his dream world to care about everything and anything else. Not like he was able to read anyway, not when he was basically sleep walking.

- There was one night, where he was a little more awake than usual. He remembers looking over at his computer and seeing the phone close to it. The red little light was blinking, what a weird little light he thought. But after re-adjusting and looking at the roof, another thought crossed his mind, where was he?

- This wasn't white space, nor was it neighbors room, or the playground. Those were the only places he knew, he didn't know this one. Why weren't his friends here? Where's MEWO? Where's MARI? He sat up, letting his legs hang off the bed, he felt so weak, a lot weaker than he normally felt. 

- He felt scared, and so alone. Where was MARI? He wanted MARI. But as soon as that thought of MARI being missing crossed his mind, he looked up and noticed SOMETHING. He didn't know what it was, or why it looked so familiar, but it was SOMETHING.

- It was just looked at him with that one big eye, like it wanted him to do something. But he didn't know what it wanted. What could he possibly do for that thing?! Why was he so scared of it? There was something off about it but he didn't know what!

- But it started to move closer, scaring SUNNY?. He was quick to hide underneath his blanket, seeing as it didn't have any hands he prayed that it wouldn't be able to lift up the blanket somehow. And it didn't. 

- He was worried that it would hurt him and yet, he felt as though it had already hurt him, but he couldn't remember when or how or even why. But he stayed hidden, seeing its shadow through his blanket. 

- SUNNY? was quick to fall right back asleep, and going back into his trance like state. Repeating the cycle all over again, the only difference was that now sometimes that thing, that SOMETHING would appear in his dreams and scare his friends. It didn't scare OMORI though, he wasn't scared of it at all, even if SUNNY was.

- Little did OMORI and SUNNY know that he'd be waking up again in just a couple of years, and that SUNNY would have to confront that thing, that SOMETHING.

Thanks for reading! <3

Tale Of Two Universities And How They Handled A Closed College

Long Island University & the closing of Southampton College vs. Fordham & the Closing of Marymount College in Tarrytown.

L.I.U.

In the course of the Southampton campus tenure under Long Island University, it produced 34 Fulbright scholars, most of which hailed from the marine science program.

After many years of fiscal mismanagement, the University announced a multimillion-dollar capital campaign, launched a new interdisciplinary CORE curriculum and the construction of a new library to revamp the campus. After one year of a 10-year plan however, Long Island University officials ceased all plans, and Long Island University decided to effectively close the campus.

On March 24, 2006, SUNY announced a final agreement for the purchase of the 81-acre (330,000 m2) Southampton College property from L.I.U. SUNY paid US $35 million ($54,792,500 in 2025.) for the 84-acre campus and its waterfront facility for its famed Marine Biology Department, as well as the NPR-affiliated WLIU FM 88.3 radio station. (1)

Southampton College Windmill Cottage 

A Long Island official accuses Stony Brook University of being the East End's "biggest slumlord."

The university is on the hot seat for the operation of its Southampton campus. Graduate students said they like having the run of Stony Brook Southampton - there are no problems finding parking. But it's a bit desolate.

With 400 students enrolled (half online), the campus in the heart of Southampton is mostly unused and many buildings are crumbling. "The campus itself is in a state of disrepair. If this was in private hands, we'd consider them to be slumlords," said Assemblyman Fred Thiele, a Democrat from Sag Harbor. “The state university has failed to keep its commitments as stewards of the campus it acquired from Southampton College in 2006.

Historic Southampton Hall, the campus centerpiece, has long been shuttered. Five years ago, the university agreed to a major overhaul that never happened.

When Thiele and a state senator notified SUNY of the availability of millions in grants, the school never applied. Meanwhile, dorms sit vacant and condemned.

The campus has welcomed a handful of new programs, such as marine sciences. But since losing the person in charge of growth in 2020, critics called this potential gem a rudderless ship.(2)

Typical Southampton College Reaction (Based on my recent query)

“Southampton's alumni have no campus or other connection to the University or its other campuses and so there's no relevance to Southampton alumni.” said a Southampton alumni in response to a L.I.U. Facebook survey, “There's no reason for SC alumni to donate to L.I.U. and no incentive for L.I.U. to bother with us. We've been abandoned.”

FORDHAM

In 1907, land near Tarrytown, New York became the location Marymount College.[3] The college was founded as an independent girls' boarding school by the Religious of the Sacred Heart of Mary (RSHM) to "create a place of learning where women could grow and where they could receive an education that would prepare them for positions of leadership and influence in the world." It was the first women's college in the United States to offer a study abroad program. (4)

In 2000, Marymount entered into an agreement to consolidate with Fordham University. In October 2005, after two years of study, Fordham announced its plans to close Marymount in 2007. At the time, the Fordham University Board of Trustees, explained that "despite the very best efforts of the faculty, administration and staff, it is no longer academically or financially feasible to continue to operate Marymount College as a separate school within the University".[4]

In 2000, Marymount College was renamed Marymount College of Fordham University.[5] In October 2005, after two years of study, Fordham announced its plans to close Marymount in 2007. At the time, the Fordham University Board of Trustees, explained that "despite the very best efforts of the faculty, administration and staff, it is no longer academically or financially feasible to continue to operate Marymount College as a separate school within the University".(5)

In August 2007, Fordham announced it would sell the Marymount campus. The decision disappointed many alumnae, as the university had purchased the college with the promise that it would try to continue to operate it as a women's institution.[6] The university claimed unjustifiable and disproportionate costs to maintain the large campus as reason for closure.

On February 17, 2008, Fordham announced the sale of the campus (27 acres) for $27 million ($39,578,338 in 2025) to EF Education, a chain of private language-instruction schools.(7)

EF Education First (abbreviated as EF) is an international education company that specializes in language training, educational travels, academic degree programs, and cultural exchanges. The company was founded in 1965 in Sweden.

Typical Marymount College Reaction (Based on my recent query)

“Everyone was shocked when Fordham sold the property so very quickly. So there are still bad feelings.” A Marymount graduate replied, “I have attended a reunion that was held at Fordham and they do have a very nice, good sized room dedicated to Marymount and they make a point of including us in their reunions.”

Note: EF allows us on campus 1x per year during reunion and provides tours of the campus. Security is reported to be “pretty tight” , perhaps understandable since it is a boarding school and needs to maintain safety on the campus.

The Dedicated “Marymount” room is located in Fordham’s Bronx campus in the “old” library. The ceiling is a replica of the Sistine Chapel in Vatican City. (See below).

Here is a recent photo of a Marymount College alumni gathering conducted at Fordham’s Rose Hill campus in The Bronx. (Below)

Let’s recall the distinctions between these situations.

First, Marymount was founded in 1907. It was an independent all-women’s college for almost 100 years. It was determined to stay independent but that became impossible around the start of the millennium.

Fordham took over Marymount and according to press releases issues at the time of their divestiture allowed the Westchester County school to offer the lowest tuition within the university. However, skeptics saw the acquisition of the college as a real estate venture. (8)

L.I.U. created Southampton College and within 2 generations abandoned it.

Second, Fordham and Marymount are both Catholic Institutions. L.I.U. and Southampton College are/were non-sectarian. Well, that rules out a Sistine Chapel replica anyway.

Third, This comes from someone who runs Facebook sites for his graduation classes for both universities and comes in contact with multiple colleges, from multiple campuses through multiple graduation years. Marymount was all women and women are just more communicative and social.

Translation: If Marymount had been an all-men’s college I doubt they would have stuck with Fordham.

Fourth, Fordham's endowment is $972 million (16,500 students); Long Island University's endowment is $224.4 million (16,000 students).(9)

Finally, L.I.U.s alumni support structure is incredibly inept compared to Fordham; They have over 50 “Regional Chapters” around the world. Almost 40 of them are located domestically.

Recommendations

With the decrease in full-time traditional students entering U.S. colleges starting in 2026 there has to be a good size room that could be dedicated to Southampton College alumni? Perhaps at C.W. Post or L.I.U. Brooklyn or both.

Tap the talent of some of the various Southampton College Facebook alumni. I have found many of them very cooperative and insightful.

Tours back at the Southampton campus. Talk with SUNY Stony Brook. If they, or the NY State Regents, ask what’s in it for them? Let me use myself as an example. I am a bachelor and just about the only time I clean my house is when I know I will have people over for a visit. Food for thought.
