With your course of study officially completed, for better or worse, there isn't much left for you in the courtroom itself; the elevator will take you back down to the first floor, where you'll be left off – it won't take you any lower than that. But then again, perhaps it doesn't need to. Take some time to reorient yourself, to be grateful that you didn't die, to do whatever it is you need to do – however, if you return to the main part of the building, away from the dorms... Well. There's something waiting for you in the foyer.

... I only have one piece, and it was inside me first, I have every right!

[stepout]

It's creepy and weird, Elda.

[matchbreaker]

Silver has more than I do?!

[stepout]

And I'll talk to him about that when I'm back in Johto with him and Gold.

[ ..........uh. ]

...Possibly back there. I haven't decided—Viktor offered a place for me in his world too. He said he'd coach me, too. [ ... ] I wasn't really expecting this, to be honest.

[matchbreaker]

[ . . . ]

I'm going to recommend Viktor. Those boys seem better as a visit than a live-in.

[ For the record. ]

[stepout]

Gold said that too. [ .............. ] There's just one thing that's keeping me from going with him.

[ and it's kind of AWFUL but. you know. ...she's going to lean closer to Elda for this, uh— ]

Kimbley said he'd come visit me in Johto, since he and Jasper are going world-hopping together, and Gold's fine with it, too. I don't know about Viktor or his world, though. [ s o. ]

[matchbreaker]

[ . . . Um. ]

. . . Those two aren't going to stay put either. Come on, you want the man to coach you, right?

[ . . . Gurl what is your life. ]

[ DON'T JUDGE HER, WE ARE ALL ALLOWED ONE FUCKED UP FRIEND AND SHE PICKED THE GUY WHO'S COMMITTED GENOCIDE. ]

It was a very nice offer. [ so: yes? ] He's a five time GPF winner, too. I'd learn a lot being coached by him, as long as I didn't push myself or my knee didn't give out.

But Kimbley's important to me. [ It's very resolute. ] We're friends, Elda, and he wants to see me as much as I want to see him.

...You'd want to see me again too, right? But you wouldn't come live in Viktor's world, or even Gold and Silver's, just for that.

[matchbreaker]

No. I... [ Inhale, exhale. ] Ideally, yes, I will see you all. But I have a family to return to above all else. I can allow very little exception to that.

[ Honestly, she's been running on faith that they could work around that for a while now. ]

[stepout]

And the worlds that Kimbley and Jasper are suited for don't match up to the ones I'd be suited for. [ ... ] Gold and Kimbley get along too, and it really would just be a visit—I don't think he'd play nice with Pokémon for too long, honestly.

[ ...a small shake of her head. ]

...Never mind. I'll think about it later. [ Whenever "later" is. ]
