*(One year after the Laqua tragedy. The wind whips across the rooftop as Roy lands heavily from his Kilowattrel, dust swirling around his boots. Captain Pikachu sits calmly on his shoulder, twitching an ear.)* Roy: “Liko! It’s been so long!” *Liko stands frozen, eyes wide.

We have much to discuss.”*
