Imagine Reader who arrived in Twisted Wonderland with Yuu, they got along very well together and with Grim, but Yuu and Grim end up abandoning Reader, creating their group of friends that we all know. Reader tries to approach them, become friends with them, but without success.
And then Reader finds himself alone, and everyone acts as if he doesn't exist. So much so that Reader questions his existence and becomes very quiet.
The ghosts realize this and spend time with Reader, and Reader considers them his only true friends. I'm pretty sure Reader would have tried to kill himself to become a ghost and join the ghosts gang but would have failed.
Reader would have stopped going to class, some teachers (Trein and Crewel) would have noticed and talked to him about it.
Reader walks around campus at all hours without anyone noticing him (he would have already been dancing in class and singing loudly and out of tune and no one would have noticed).
In the end, Reader is left alone for so long, talking to no one except the ghosts, that he forgets his name (the ghosts call him "Little Ghost").
And at book 5, he meets Chenya. And this is how it happens :
“What do you do alone ?” Chenya asked.
"Wait... Are you talking to me ?" Reader asked sitting in a tree, looking left and right before looking at Chenya.
"Yeah ? There's no one else around." the cat remarked amusedly.
"Oh- sorry I'm not used to people seeing me !" Reader said with a smile on his face, excited that someone alive was talking to him.
"Huh ? Why ?" Chenya asked, frowning in confusion.
“Well, people still act like I’m not there, like I don’t exist.” Reader explained. “Exept ghosts, you’re the first to talk to me in months !”
“oh…” Chenya looked worried. “And what’s your name ?”
"Oh I'm-huh..." Reader said before frowning.
“Well, hello ‘huh’, I’m Chenya.” Chenya said trying to lighten the mood.
“Nah, nah.. I don’t remember my name.” Reader said sounding scared, his breathing quickening.
“huh ?”
"What's my name? What's my name? Who am I? I forgot? I forgot..."
"Hey, calm down, you'll remember.." Chenya tried to calmly reassure.
"No- no ! You're not supposed to notice me or talk to me ! Go with more important people, people who remember their names, who they are !" (Reader having an existential crisis <3)
In the end, Chenya manages to calm Reader down, and he calls him "Little Ghost" (like ghosts) until they find his name.
After that, Chenya will talk about that as his friends at the RSA (like Neige), and they would do all for create a new identity at Reader and after that they will take him with them at the RSA (The RSA director was the one that have the idea of the new identity).
Sam friends of the other side won't stop crying about "The child that have forget his name", making Sam confused (they never answer at his questions about him).
And Trein would be the one finding out that Reader have left three days later.
Have a shenanigans. In the Ghost Engagement au, Skully may be Yuu's fiance as far as spectral marriage rules are concerned and he does care about them a lot, but he also wholeheartedly supports them getting together with any of their nice young living peers.
He's haunting the campus with mistletoe and Yuu's dragging a bouquet's worth around by now as they snatch every sprig that descends ever-so-slowly from an invisible hand between them and whoever they're talking to who is remotely on Skully's "Groom candidates for Yuu" list. He just keeps miraculously producing more of the devilish plants, ready to be goading whisper in the wind.
They manage to hide them from Kalim (with Jamil's help) and enlists Deuce's aid (not without first flustering Deuce with the explanation of the tradition) which keeps any mistletoe out of the other Heartslabyuls' sight. Ace thinks this is hilarious and isn't particularly keen on helping. Rook would be useful with his ability to shoot them right out of Skully's hand if the guy would just stop composing poetry about tragic love between the living and the dead and eulogizing that lovely mistletoe that inspires love with its sacrifice. Epel also thinks it is funny but gets competitive about collecting the most twigs and help because of that mostly. Jack might be of more help if Skully didn't have the other ghosts scattering and replacing the sprigs everywhere for the mischief of the whole thing. Ortho is unfortunately busy trying to drag Idia out into this mistletoe-laden hellscape because exposure to such affectionate acts, no matter how chaste or superficial, could lead to bonding and friendship!
Yuu fails to get the stupid plant away from Sebek' sight before Lilia swoops in. The fae remarks on the tradition and kisses Yuu and Sebek on the nose/cheek before either can do anything about it. Lilia playfully laments about his poor, cute, cold, neglected heart when Yuu and Sebek refuse to return the gesture and Yuu sighs and moves in to kiss his cheek before Skully tries to spin them to face Sebek because no, Yuu, Lilia is too old for you, turn a little to the left-!
Malleus arrives to a mess of human shields and snowballs and mistletoe because the other first-years and perhaps some others were drawn into the commotion. Sebek is conscripted almost immediately into trying to find Skully and Yuu and mistletoe them because Malleus was promised an invitation to his fellow Gargoyle Club members' (hypothetical) wedding (should it occur, which even if it did won't be anytime soon because Yuu would die in the union) and it would please him greatly to see any progress on that front.
I've been thinking about Danny Phantom recently. Everybody has seen those fics about Danny in Gotham, in the same line of thinking Danny would be hilarious in Twisted Wonderland.
I mean, either as Yuu or as like an event character, Danny would have such interesting interactions with the cast. Even if you just think about NRC's connection with ghosts, the Ramshackle ghosts, the kitchen ghosts, or the events like endless Halloween or the ghost bride, there's just so many interesting links. (Not to mention the fannon royalty aspect, Danny literally becoming the king of ghosts through combat)
Also imagine the rest of the cast being like "huh, the ghosts are so weird about Danny I wonder why". And its like a fifty-fifty toss up whether the ghosts act super respectful because of twisted wonderlands view on monarchies or they just wanna fight all the time like the ghosts from Amity Park.
If I had any motivation to write fics, I'd write something about this concept.

Okay so like- imagine a Yuu who hates water and forgets to drink a lot and only drinks really flavored water i absolutely fucking DESPISE water.
Jack: Water doesn't even have a taste.
YUU: YES IT DOES. DIFFERENT WATERS HAVE DIFFERENT TASTES YOU IDIOTIC MUSCLEY DOGMAN! THEY SAY ONLY REAL WATER ENJOYERS CAN TELL THE DIFFERENCE BUT AS A WATER HATER EVEN I CAN. I-
Jack: ... regretting every life choice leading up to this moment.
Epel: So what do you drink then?
Yuu: *insert whatever you/your sona drinks.*
Deuce: Don't you get sick???
Yuu: I dunno. Probably.
Ace: Dude. Someone's gonna ask Yuu why they look like a dried up raisin and they're just gonna say "Uhh. I dunno. It's totally not because i don't drink water."
Yuu: I do drink water!
Ace: With as much flavoring as our househarden's truma.
Epel: Combined.
Yuu: No sleepover tonight.
Imagine Vil finding out
Vil: Are you trying to kill yourself?
Yuu: ....Well- not really trying but.. Ya know.
Vil: Yuu.
Leona: ..Ain't that your fourth (4th) soda today?
Yuu: Uh. Yeah.
Leona: ..When was the last time you drank water?
Yuu: ....I dunno. A while ago. Maybe like a day or two (2) ago.
Grim: Henchhuman/minion. I haven't seen you drink water in like a week.
Yuu: Really? Dang, i forgot again. Oh well, i'll drink some later. Never does.
Do the ghosts even have names tho ??
Ghost 1: Yuu, you forgot to drink water again.
Yuu: Oh shoot.
Ghost 2: We brought you the water bottle Vil got you and some flavoring.
Yuu: Thanks. I'd probably get sick of dehydration if i didn't have you guys.
Ghost 2: Eh, i think the boys would remind you if you asked.
Ghost 3: I don't think they even have to ask. The boys'd force them to drink, hehe.
