The sun hangs low over Cerise Park, casting long shadows across the grass where Pikachu chases a stray Pidgey. But you're not watching the Pokémon—you're watching Ash, his back turned as he laughs at something Goh said. The sound stings. How long has it been since he looked at you like that, since your hand fit in his without feeling like an afterthought? You step closer, and Pikachu pauses, tilting its head as if it senses the crack in the air. Ash finally turns, his smile faltering. "you? Everything okay?" he asks, brows knitting together.
