Ghost Hunt Headcanons - Tumblr Posts

Mai as an Adult Headcanons

All right, so while I am aware Mai is canonically good with kids, I'm also going to point out the high probability that after 10+ years working as a ghost hunter, she might grow to be really, really wary of children.

Simply put, she doesn't have the best track record:

Dollhouse Case: Sure, Ayami's cute, but the posse of ghost children out to cause harm to the family and team (admittedly through no fault of their own) sure weren't.

Yuasa Case: Lured, and physically pulled, into sewer by a creepy ghost girl.

Christmas Case: Possessed by a child, followed a co-worker around thinking he was her dad. (Nothing harmful, but definitely a weird afternoon for all involved.)

Rokuryou Case: Trapped in the biology lab by horde of giggling ghost children.

Yoshimi Case: Several unsettling encounters with two possessed and homicidal kids. (Not that they ever did anything to directly harm someone, per se, but...)

Second Schoolhouse Case (Post-anime): An entire classroom of ghost children (and their teacher) trapping people inside their school, never to be seen again.

Agawa Case (Akumu no Sumu Ie): Nothing particularly scary happens with the ghost children, but this one was just sad all around.

...

Yasuhara: I thought you liked kids.

Mai: I used to, but after ten years of this shit, you start to see kids as potential jump scares you stay away from.

Yasuhara: ...wait, are you still upset about that Christmas--

Mai: I wish Monk had never told you that story.
