(Forgive the awkward wording, but I'm trying to be as un-spoilery as I can.)

In Episode 12 of _Wonder Egg Priority_ , Ai hatches a Wonder Egg containing

> herself from a parallel universe.

This girl's Wonder Killer takes the form of

> Sawaki-sensei.

This suggests he did something that traumatised the girl and helped drive her
to suicide, but it's never stated what. Furthermore, Ai spends the entire
fight insistent that the Wonder Killer is based on her own cognition of that
person, and not what they are actually like.

What did he do to her? And if he didn't do anything, then why was he her
Wonder Killer?

What caused this character's trauma?


(Based on my own memory and understanding of the episode, YMMV.)

It's strongly hinted in the flashbacks and lines dropped by both the other Ai
and her Wonder Killer that many key events _other_ than getting involved with
the Wonder Eggs still happened, in particular:

  * Ai developed a crush on Sawaki-sensei;

  * Koito Nagase killed herself after having some kind of involvement with Sawaki-sensei;

  * Sawaki-sensei became romantically involved with Ai's mother, and they discussed getting married.

As a result, that universe's Ai suspected that Sawaki-sensei was somehow
involved in Koito's death, and that he was using Ai's mother as a means to get
to Ai, possibly to molest her. This is why she developed an image of him in
her head as a monster.

Note that the main Ai _also_ had these same suspicions, but because she had
formed friendships with the other girls (one of whom was related to Sawaki-
sensei) _and_ had confronted her fears and anxieties about Sawaki-sensei (and
confronted him about it), _and_ had learned more about the nature of the
Wonder Killers from her experiences and from Ura-Acca's backstory, she was
better able to dismiss her paranoia about Sawaki-sensei.
