[ The camera doesn't focus on Katsuki at all. Rather, there's a Meowth just sitting in view. It's licking at it's paw and then shining the little metal bit on its forehead. ]

I have a damn stalker. How do I get rid of it.

[ It pauses, clearly looks up at the camera and tilts its head, as if has no idea what Bakugou could be talking about. A closer look would tell people that the Meowth is sitting on a jacket, presumably Katsuki's. ]

Yeah, I'm talking about you. Go the hell back to where you came from. Stop getting your fur all over my shit.

[ That's not working either. Meowth just curls up and goes to take a nap. ]

Been dealing with this asshole since Halloween.

[ Now there's an idea! ]

Maybe that'll work when we get to the next town.

[epitaffio]

It sounds like the problem is just about solved, then! Where are you headed?

[apshot]

Goldenrod is the next stop according to the map.

[epitaffio]

Then you're bound to find someone! There's loads of people there.

[apshot]

Maybe if not one of us wandering around the extras will take it.

[ He's talking about the NPCs. ]

[epitaffio]

... Extras?

[Doppio looks utterly blank. He Does Not Get It.]

[apshot]

The people walking around with no personality whatsoever.

[epitaffio]

... That's kind of rude.

[apshot]

It's the truth isn't it?

[epitaffio]

I don't know... I haven't noticed that much of a difference compared to random people back home.

[apshot]

Hence extras.

[ That's kind of how he sees normal people back home too, really. ]

[epitaffio]

[... Yeah, pretty much. Which still doesn't stop him from thinking it's not very considerate, but...]

Is that why you want to get rid of the Meowth?

[apshot]

Ha? No. I want to get rid of it because it's getting hair all over my sit.

[epitaffio]

In that case... Wouldn't it be a bit cruel to give it to one of the "extras"? It sounds like you don't think very highly of them, so maybe they shouldn't be looking after a living creature...

[apshot]

I don't see a problem with it. They have their own Pokémon right? From what I've seen they look like they're in good condition.

[epitaffio]

That's true... But it's you that the little guy likes, not any of the fake people.

[If they ARE fake, anyway. So far, he has about as much reason to care for them beyond polite pleasantries as he does for any random civilian back home.]

[apshot]

Who cares about that?

[ Don't worry. Bakugou will end up keeping the little thing. ]

[epitaffio]

Hmm... I guess giving it away to a fake person who cares is better than making it live with a real person who doesn't...

[apshot]

Exactly. That's my entire point.
