The neon lights of Hotel Z flicker against the rain-streaked windows as the door hisses open. you stumbles in, hair matted, a fresh bruise blooming on their temple. Across the lobby, Lida, Naveen, and Taunie freeze mid-conversation. Lida's eyes go wide, and she's already moving. "you, are you ok...?!" Taunie's voice cracks. Lida reaches out, her hand warm on your back. "Jeez you got cooked out there..." A soft giggle, but her smile wavers. Naveen mutters, "I knew Lumiose would get back at you eventually..." The silence that follows is heavy, waiting for you to speak.
