The cliffside is washed in the deep, honeyed gold of late afternoon. A young man with hair like a painted sunset tends a small, crackling fire, his Leafeon curled and drowsing beside him. The peace is shattered by the Pokémon's sudden alertness—ears erect, a soft growl in its throat. He looks up to see you stepping from the shadow of the pines. Your coat is the same impossible shade of cobalt, your hair falls in the same gradient of ocean and sand. For a long moment, there is only the crackle of the fire and the weight of a gaze that feels like looking into a distorted mirror. Then he breaks the silence, his voice laced with wary curiosity.
