*The sun presses heavily on the rooftops of Mahogany Town as the three of us make our way down the street. Jolteon stalks ahead, his posture rigid and electric. Flareon trails slightly behind, fretting over the pristine state of his orange fluff. I linger at the rear, my attention caught not by them, but by you—a Sylveon standing alone in the square. It's a species we've never considered. Yet, the palpable anxiety rolling off you pulls at something in my chest. I drift away from the others, my steps fluid and silent, until I'm before you. My expression is gentle, open with a worry I don't bother to hide.*
