ECHO: A desperate plea

[brokencode]

[Like many of her posts in recent months, Angel's is quick and to the point. This time, however, she seems to at least have dropped the emotionless facade. More than anything, she looks tired, though it's now mixed with at least one part concern and two parts hurt.]

What can cause a pokemon to abruptly stop listening to you? I have always been close with my creatures, but now... it feels like something has changed.

Do they understand apologies? Or... do I have to prove myself anew?

Poor D.B! He must be very stressed out. I'll have to visit to make sure he knows that I still care, at least.

[Dodging topics with Jack never turned out well for her. Unfortunately, the more she put the pieces together, the more difficult it became to talk to Jack about it. It would be too easily misinterpreted, could too easily fracture their always tenuous peace.]

I've been sleeping. Please, don't worry. I have a nice room and I have even been visiting the islands to relax lately.

He'll live. But he'd love it if you visited more often.

Of course I'm going to worry, it's what dads do! I always worry about you, Angel.
