19th Tomoe || Text (Action for Viridian City)

[beforethedarkness]

Itachi Uchiha went home last night. If anyone has gotten any one of his pokémon, please contact Sasuke Uchiha about it.

[That’s all the text that goes on the network, and he can’t help sighing as he sends it. He doesn’t know what else to say about it, except... He’s never felt more alone in his life.

Which means there’s a sulking kid in Viridian City Pokémon Center, and otherwise his only communication is on the gear. Which really isn’t anything that new for Sasuke, but the reason is something more relatable this time at least.]

[[OoC: This has been cleared OOCly with the player as she is unfortunately dropping from the game. =( We'll miss you!]]

[Give him a minute, Sora.]

I don't know.

Private

[heartdive]

Don't know what?

Private

[beforethedarkness]

I don't know if I want to be alone.

Private

[heartdive]

You know... I think I might be a little glad to hear that.

Private

[beforethedarkness]

[Excuse him for staring at the gear for a moment before he responds.]

Why?

Private

[heartdive]

Because it means you're starting to believe in your friends again, even if it's just a little bit.

Private

[beforethedarkness]

I don't know if it's as simple as that, Sora.

Private

[heartdive]

Why not?

Private

[beforethedarkness]

I didn't want him to leave. I don't know how to feel about that.

Re: Private

[heartdive]

Do you think it's wrong to feel that way? Is that why?

Private

[beforethedarkness]

Even if it was a mission, he still murdered everyone I cared about Sora. He still left me alone with nothing but hatred for him.

[In short, he is very confused right now okay?]

Re: Private

[heartdive]

Obviously not if you traveled with him. There's still love there for him. He did some bad things. But maybe what you need to think about is: can you forgive that.

Re: Private

[beforethedarkness]

[There is a very long gap between Sora's text and the reply, but it does still come at least.]

I tried to.

Re: Private

[heartdive]

Okay... Do you WANT to?

Re: Private

[beforethedarkness]

[GDI Sora. Big sigh, because it's honesty time.]

Part of me wants to. Another part still hates him and blames him for everything.

Re: Private

[heartdive]

Maybe you're just afraid to let go of all that hate. I mean you've lived with it for so long. You probably don't remember what it's like not to hate.

Re: Private

[beforethedarkness]

[Another big pause because he doesn't know what to say to that. Namely, Sora's hit it on the head and Sasuke doesn't know how to respond. He doesn't remember what it's like not to hate, huh...

Whoops, looks like there's no response that time. Either Sora's going to have to prod at him again or end the conversation there, because Sasuke isn't going anywhere with what he just received.]

Re: Private

[heartdive]

Uh...

Re: Private

[beforethedarkness]

Maybe you're right.

Re: Private

[heartdive]

Oh. That's a relief.

Re: Private

[beforethedarkness]

Why is it a relief?

Re: Private

[heartdive]

First step in fixing a problem is admitting there is one. Aaaand something else too.

Re: Private

[beforethedarkness]

I didn't say I had a problem. And what else did you mean?

Re: Private

[heartdive]

Maybe is pretty close!

And you opened up to me a bit more. Without me having to push too much. That makes me happy.

Re: Private

[beforethedarkness]

Maybe isn't yes, Sora.

[Damn it he knows he's uncomfortable and suddenly he's also really thankful that this is text. He's just plain not addressing that second part as a result.]
