The deafening roar of Galar Stadium collapses into a distant, muted rumble as the final dust of your victory over Leon settles. High in the stands, a splash of purple hair catches the light—Hop leans over the railing, his hazel eyes finding yours across the crowd. His face is illuminated by pure, unguarded pride. His voice, warm and clear, cuts through the lingering noise to reach you. The camera shifts to your face, where the triumph has already soured into a cold, hollow weight. The memory of every hard-fought battle with your best friend—the rival who pushed you here—presses down on your ribs, an invisible burden amidst the jubilant chaos.
