[Are you in Goldenrod City or its surrounding territories?]

[Then YOU JUST MIGHT HAVE THE LUCK to be approached by a small child in increasingly-grubby conditions as the day goes on. You'd think he'd have learned his lesson about approaching strangers by this point, but if he has, it's not stopping him.]

[He will approach anyone and everyone who stops long enough to make eye contact, but instead of challenging you to a Pokemon battle, he will instead thrust the image above, finger-painted on a scrap of filthy paper rather than a crappy .jpg at you. He's still got paint on his fingers. Maybe his beseeching puppydog-blue eyes (the most pitiful ones he can MANAGE) will outweigh the unintentionally-horrifying nature of the three portraits.]

[8( WELL?]

[HAVE YOU SEEN THEM?]

[Allfonz? Oh, the one who helped him read her old responses. Gred and Scar she can't make heads or tails of.]

I don't think I have. Where did you last see them? Maybe a location will help narrow down where they might be?

I don't know.

[Envy's hands clench some as he says it. It's the truth. He doesn't know, nobody knows what makes people suddenly vanish away, and that's what makes it so damn difficult.]

But that's what happens. Sometimes people who vanish get brought back, but a lot of the time they don't.

You know when people are gone like that if you call their 'Gear and it says there's an error instead of them just not answering...I can show you.

[Maybe that will make it seem more solid, more real.]

[Envy hesitates. But he can't lie, and he'd started this.]

[He just hadn't expected that Wrath didn't already know, and that he'd have to explain it to him for the first time. He's so used to it being a fact of life here that anyone could go home that he'd just assumed that it was something that people knew. But he's going to see this to the end.]


...it does. Anyone can go back.

But that doesn't mean you will. I've been here almost since people started showing up. And Heather, she's been here even longer, since the very beginning.

Which city is your home in?

You won't be able to find them if you're so exhausted you can't walk. Do you have anyone else looking with you? Or any Pokemon that can carry you? I won't tell you to stop looking, but you should get some rest too.

[Envy swallows hard, words sticking in his throat. He's never wanted to lie to Wrath more than in this very moment.]

[Because he knows exactly what the young homunculus is going back to. He knows that he himself is going to contribute just as much pain and cruelty as their master is, and that there's nothing he can do to stop it. He's past that point in the timeline, even if he was able to go back and remember and change things.]

[There's nothing he can say to take the truth away.]

[So he doesn't say anything. Instead, he reaches out and pulls Wrath into a tight hug, something he's never, ever done before, and holds onto him like he's trying to hold him into this world right now.]

[Oh no he calls his Pokémon Mama??? Oh no she doesn't even have maternal instincts a lot of the time but she wants to make sure this kid is okay]

I'm in Azalea right now but I'll look around here. And when I get to Goldenrod I'll check in with you alright? I want to help find your friends.

homunculus????

[That's even more terrifying than a zombie, granted the first image of a homunculus that pops into Yachi's head is the cortical homunculus and probably-- HOPEFULLY!!-- not what he means. How does he know what a homunculus is but not a zombie?]

A zombie is a person who's died and come back to life. What do you mean by homunculus??
