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!]]

[Her sister? He... Hadn't known that anything like that happened to Lightning. He's stunned into silence for a little bit, listening until it's clear that she's done speaking before he tries to gather his thoughts enough to speak again.]

I don't know if it can.

[But... Now that Lightning's brought it up like this, part of him dares to hope. Somehow, he never thought it'd happen to him. Naruto got to see his parents again, sure. A relative he'd never met was brought back from the dead, fine. But... To see people he'd lost on that night... Maybe it could happen for him, too.

He takes an audibly shaky breath, trying to compose himself before continuing.]

I have to keep moving forward... Whether it happens or not.

[She gives him that time without a word, needing to compose herself as well. It's been over a year since she found out, and it hasn't gotten any easier. Whether or not she trusts him, she had to say it. It hurts, and she's glad this is audio. It lets her clear her face of emotion and keep her voice steady for when she can speak again. Someone has to keep it together, and she can't blame him for it not being him today.]

You're right. Whether it happens or not, you have to keep living. [Her voice drops a note here, getting a bit distant, as if she's remembering something.] But living without hope is just a way to die. No family would want that for you.

[audio; locked] omg sorry it's so short after the long wait

[beforethedarkness]

... I'll try to remember that.
