11121_assumptionWaking up was normally just what it was. A bleary start to a new day, usually with one of his Pokemon prodding or pulling at his blankets to wake him up, hungry for breakfast or just to get him up. Today wasn't much different in that regard; he was woken up by a low, rumbling Luxray, who was pushing her head against his and half on his bed, forepaws pressing down on the mattress. But, he actually felt...He felt actually alive.
Walter didn't feel empty and listless. Like he was just dragging along, waiting for the heavy weight on his back to overpower him. It was still there but it was lighter. Something he could push to the back of his mind and not have it cloud and interfere with his thoughts. As he got up and ready, he showered and brushed out his hair, before pausing and tying it behind him. Some of his fringe still escaped and framed his face. He'd never actually tried doing anything with it before but this. It felt good. He did need to trim it soon - he hadn't cut it since he had arrived here. It'd grown out a bit too much. He sighed, stretching out with a small smile. The sun seemed bright and warm. He could feel it in his chest, somehow.

If you go around Ecruteak, you might spot him. He's not wearing his coat for the first time while outside, his Pokemon still accompanying him. Joseph is clinging off his shoulder, occasionally dropping down to bolt over to something interesting before running back and jumping up to Walter again, while Assumption walks alongside him, tail wagging with his stride. It's obvious in his demeanour that he's not as closed off as he normally is, glancing into shop windows with more open curiousity and walking with less nerves.

[ The candid video shows a garden outside, with many of Walter's Pokemon enjoying the sunshine while he's present. Nothing too unusual there...except that Walter is cheerful. He's clearly playing with his Pokemon, smiling and letting them jump up or press against him. He eventually sits, returning their attention and petting the ones that come close to him. He even reaches out to gently touch Jennifer and Robbie - still nervous, but not wanting to leave them out. ]
