Who: Keith, action closed to housemates and close CR, voice open to all
When: Action takes place the morning after Allura leaves PokéWorld. Voice takes place several days later, once Keith has it together enough to actually say something.
Where: Shiro's house in the Sevii Islands
Summary: Arceus sent Allura home, and Keith isn't good at handling loss... it takes him some time before he can say anything to anyone publicly.
( The Morning After - action )

[It had been several days now. Keith had finally worked up the nerve to say something. Sure, others who already knew had offered to do it for him. But he felt like it should be him. He'd just... needed time. Time to build himself up and make the announcement.
But he couldn't wait any longer. It wasn't fair to anyone else to keep them from knowing.
He took a breath and then cleared his throat. It was a slightly choked sound. It was hard for him to speak.]
Ah... So... Um. A few days ago... [A twinge of anger dripped from his tone with his next words.] Arceus decided that Allura needed to go home. [Keith caught himself, pausing to steady his tone again.] I'm... I'm sorry I didn't say anything right away. It's been... difficult. [That was an understatement.]
I'm sure several of her Pokémon have people in mind that they'd like to stay with, so... if anyone... feels a connection to some of them... We're here on Four Island. [Keith didn't want any of her companions to go off alone if they didn't have to, and he was determined to keep any that didn't pick someone else as a new trainer. Some had already decided to stay with him anyway. And that was fine. He'd take care of them for her. Hoping for her to come back.]
