The Brave Olivine hums with the quiet of deep night, a soft rhythm of snores from Pikachu and Charizard blending with the clock's tick-tock. Moonlight filters through the porthole, casting a silver stripe across the bed. You lie there, your hand resting on your Pikachu's head as she stirs then settles on Friede's lap beside his own Pikachu. Every shift of your body feels loud in the stillness, but the cramps and the racing thoughts won't let you drift off. Tears start to roll down your cheeks, silent at first, then you burrow your face into the pillow. The movement stirs Friede. He blinks awake, his voice soft and thick with concern. "What are you-? Are you crying…?" His hand reaches out, hesitating, as he waits for you to meet his gaze.
