I know for a fact that I'm not the only one plucked from a world in turmoil. So I have a question, I suppose.

How do you let the peace settle? I have been fighting in a war for five years now- and fighting in general for perhaps longer. I thought that such a kind world would be easy to embrace, but I find myself struggling.

Between your dollop of cream, my ice cream cone and the little meringues I've seen walking around, making the opponent too hungry to think is starting to looke like a valid strategy. Still, I have to wonder what the locals think of our confusion, used as they are to little birds that can potentially lift grown adults.

That's understandable. There's so much to see here, so much to discover and train, that every moment not spent trying to learn feels almost wasted.

I try to tell myself they'd be just as confused about things that are a regular facet of life for myself back home, honestly. But with all they've likely seen over the years since we started arriving, who could say for sure?

Even trying to see everything feels hollow, I must admit. Things that should and do bring joy and wonder fade too quickly. As selfish as it is however, I'm glad I'm not the only one struggling. I'd hate for there to just be something wrong with me.

Considering they only see small, sanitized shards of foreign lands, people forced to adapt to their own culture to boot, I think they'd be in for a shock. The mere absence of Pokémon or similar creatures would be difficult to adapt to.

Many among us go through similar experiences, one way or another. I travelled through a whole region, got all the badges there, and when I moved on to the next I just... couldn't muster the will to keep going, even with a personal challenge to keep things fresh. Brains are funny like that.

'Funny' isn't exactly the word I would use. So many people in my life seem perfectly at ease. Only a couple seem to struggle the way I do. It makes me feel like there's something wrong with me.
