Day 45 [Text]

Namine went home.

[That's all that needs to be said really. Roxas doesn't want to believe it but that's the reality. They'd been travelling together, and they were going to explore Kanto together like they did Johto, and now. Now he's on his own again.

It's weird.

He hasn't felt like this in a long time, doesn't really know what to do with the emotions setting in on him.

It hurts. And he misses her.]

...Roxas...

[What's can he say to that, truly? He's sorry, but that doesn't say enough. And he cannot say that at least she's returned home, because for all he knows her situation is much worse there.]

[It's a reluctant video, but he's willing to do this because it's Cecil. He might have been crying.]

Yeah?

...Would you like some company? It'd take a few hours, but...

[But if he wants it, a train ride is no trouble at all.]

[Roxas has to think for a bit. He doesn't want to be too much of a bother...]

Yeah. I would.

It's just me now...

I'm in Saffron City.

I'll take the first train there. I don't know when it'll leave, but that should not take too long.

Alright. I'm not planning on going anywhere really, so I'll be here.

Unless you want me to meet you at the station.

Do not trouble yourself. I'll find you easily enough.

Alright. I'll be here then.

I'll be there soon.

['Soon' meaning 'knocking at the door after about seven hours', in this case.]

[It's Sparky who answers the door with a bit of help. Roxas looks up from where he was sitting on the floor. The TV's on, but mostly for background noise.]

Hey.

Hey.

[He enters the room and approaches Roxas, though not before patting Sparky's head. His shoulder bears a Litwick that greets them both quietly, and his hands a bag of cookies.]

Have any members of her team joined you?

[Roxas pulls out a pokeball and opens it, revealing Salty the Togekiss.]

When I found out she was gone, I checked the box. I don't know about her other pokemon.

[Salty floats over to give him a knudge]

She's left traces of herself with you, at least. That's always good to have.

[What might also be good to have is the hug he now offers.]

[Roxas nods, trying to hold back his tears and leaning into the hug.]

...There's always the chance she'll come back.

[Which might be even worse if she remembers nothing of her previous stays, but still.]

I know. She's come back before.

It still hurts though. I mean, she was really important...

You've told her that, I hope.

I probably could have said it better.

She must have understood your meaning, however inexpertly you expressed it. It's obvious you care for her, after all.

I think she did, but still. I feel I could have said more.

...Even if you spent your every waking second saying it with every single word that can say it, it'd not feel enough.

Do you think she really knew? I mean, I don't want her feeling lonely back home.

Of course. The two of you spent much time together and enjoyed it, did you not? That would have told her everything she might need to know.

[Roxas nods. He's going to try and believe in Cecil's words.]

Thanks. For coming here.

I could hardly leave you alone at such a time.
