victory_road | 9th Petal [Video, Goldenrod City]

[Today's video opens up shakily on a computer screen - clearly for PC boxes in a Pokemon center, with prompts to move, take, or put Pokemon in the box system - and there's already three creatures in there. A Yanma, a Flaffy, and a Gastly, the last of which has been selected, allowing anyone tuned in to see its original trainer.]

...I didn't know they'd left.

[That's Asriel's voice, sullen and soft.]

I got - I got a stone from those Elite Four people that said it was for a Pokemon called Gengar, since I had a Gastly? But, I don't remember meeting anything called Gastly...but it was registered in my Pokedex, too, and people talk about Pokemon going to other people or being released when their trainers leave lately, so, I went to look, and...

[And oh, this hurts. He hadn't known Kaneki or Dee for very long, and he'd gone and been unaware of their disappearance for quite some time. He'd just figured they were too busy to make posts on the network or something, not gone...

There's a distinct edge of tears to his voice when he speaks up next. Still such a crybaby, after all this time.]

...I-I'm sorry...I don't - don't even know why I...said anything...

[The 'gear tilts down at the floor, and there's a fumbling sound and a distinct sniffle of a little kid before the feed ends.]

Threaded | Flat

[ Haurchefant Fortemps could not help but feel a pain of his own for this child, hearing their voice. For if one vanished, it would pain so many. Not even a chance to say goodbye.

At least, that was how he thought, as he replied - trying to keep a soft expression on - in case the boy looked to him. ]

...Do not be sorry for showing pain, my friend.

...That is a terrible way to find out that you've lost friends to this world's whims. I'm sorry.

Oh no, I'm so sorry...

[At least when her friends had left, she had known more or less immediately. FInding out like this...]

That's not fair. Really not fair.

You don't need to apologize, Asriel.

[Cissnei's voice is soft when she speaks, a sad and understanding sort of look on her face.

She hasn't been here long enough to understand that particular feeling but loss is something she's no stranger towards.]

_{[Oh no, kiddo...]

[Heather's never talked to Asriel before, but... well, if there's one thing she knows a lot about, it's the unique kind of loss that happens in this world specifically. Because damn, no matter how often it happens, it honestly never gets easier.]}

Hey, you don't know me or anything, but I just thought I'd shoot you a message.

Don't feel bad for being upset.

I've been here for years and I STILL get real messed up when the people I love go away.

So you're not alone, ok?

Kid...

[He winces. It's a feeling he knows all too well. Spending so many years here, he's seen his share of people coming and going. Naturally, the reactions are... typically unpleasant.

Sighing, he waits a moment before speaking up again.]

It's okay to be upset. I mean, who isn't in this situation? Just... give yourself time.

[ Walter needed a moment himself after seeing that message. It brought back sad, bitter memories from the Orphanage of others who had gone missing or vanished over the years; who'd run away or were buried in the woods. Once he'd collected himself, he sent out a message. ]

Would you like to do some sewing with me again? I'm in a mountain right now but I can warp back when I reach the next city.

-Walter

[Well.

Something like that, he is going to go and find Asriel himself. Perhaps he is still in the Pokemon center?]

Asriel?
