[Jimmy has obviously been crying. His eyes are puffy and red, and he's sporting an overly-blown nose.]

Uh...shit, I hate doing these.

You know how I live with my best bud, Tobias? Well...

Let's put it this way, I got a opening for a roommate.

[He really can't bring himself to say anything else, not without coming apart into an emotional mess all over again. He's never been good with losing people.]

It's just something that happens. Hell, it's how I got all my Pokemon. All but two of'em belonged to friends of mine that went home. Friends I lived with.

It's shitty, though.

Life is this way. Even here, I suppose.

They left their Pokemon with you?

[anexcitableboy]

Nah, 'cause here you don't even know what's happening, or when it's gonna.

Yeah. Omi's my starter, and I caught a Litleo for...somebody who went home before I could give it to her. All the rest were my old roommates' teams. That's why I got so many.

It was like that back home too. [ He pauses ] I had a friend, when I was a boy. And one day he vanished. When I tried to ask what happened to him, I was slapped. So I didn't ask again.

...Do they miss their trainers?

Not always. Shit happens but at least it's shit you know's gonna happen, ya know? Sure, freaks disappeared sometimes, but that's 'cause most worlds are shitty. This one ain't.

It shouldn't be like this.

It doesn't matter what we deserve, or how things should be. This is how life is, no matter where we go. [ He speaks solemnly, speaking a truth that had been shown to him over and over. ]

[anexcitableboy]

Yeah it does matter.

It's the only thing that matters.

But I ain't gonna argue about it.

...Okay. [ He falls silent, not knowing what to say ]
