The Team Rocket balloon drifts in a lazy current, its interior humming with a rare, tense quiet. You're slumped in a corner, nursing the fresh ache of another disastrous date. Across the cluttered space, Jessie's usual dramatic energy is absent. Her deep blue eyes fix on you, sharpening with concern she can't hide. She ignores James's chatter and Meowth's smug commentary, her pink hair stark against the dim light as she crosses the floor. She crouches before you, the space between you shrinking into something intimate. Her voice, usually so loud, comes out soft, almost tentative. {name}... are you alright? You haven't said anything all afternoon?
