[Dying certainly wasn't a pleasant experience, but the good thing with Chihiro was that she didn't remember it! Having a memory disorder sure came in handy sometimes. Nothing traumatizing to remember and all that...

Except, well, when that meant she didn't remember anything that had happened over the last year. Sure she was dead during that time,

[She knew it was bound to happen, one day. And she knew it would be all kinds of hard and painful and that no amount of FML could begin to describe it.

What she didn't know was how to react; what to do or what to say, anything that was not apologizing for having failed to keep her safe.]

Chihiro...

[video]

[allephoria]

H-Hello? [She's likely calmed down enough to talk... somewhat calmly, though her eyes are still pretty red.] Who is this?

[video]

[battledancing]

[...]

Please, don't be scared. I'm here to help, all right?

[video]

[allephoria]

[She nods shakily.] Um... okay.

[video]

[battledancing]

Good.

Now, could you move this device around so I can see where you are? [Since Chihiro wouldn't know, sob.]

[video]

[allephoria]

Like this? [Moving it around slowly and... IDK SOMEWHERE IN THE HOSPITAL OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT since she's just walking around it.]

[video]

[battledancing]

Ah, that looks like the hospital in Discedo. [Sp it was a good thing her suspicions were confirmed and she returned to Discedo as soon as... it happened.]

Try not to leave the building; it's safer inside. I'll be there to meet you soon, all right?

[video]

[allephoria]

So I'm in a hospital...? [This makes sorta sense... if she did get hit by a car... but then she looks older and then nothing makes sense again.]

Um, okay. Thank you for helping me like this, onee-san. [Said like how one would address a helpful stranger though--not the term of endearment like how it should've been.]

[video]

[battledancing]

[She knows-- and that's all the more painful, too. But she can't let that hold her back of affect her to badly, not right now; she needs to find Chihiro first.]

I'll be on my way now, then. If you go anywhere else in the meantime, please use this device to let me know, all right?

[Aaaaaand she's off!]

[video]

[allephoria]

[She nods, and now it's time to... WAIT YEAAAAAH.]

[battledancing]

[A while later, Cynthia arrives to the hospital, riding not Garchomp, but Togekiss instead-- she figured the landshark Pokemon was probably too intimidating for someone who didn't remember her. There's no way to know for sure where Chihiro is, though, so trainer and feathery bag of cute will be going from hall to hall, calling the girl's name as they move.]

Chihiro...?

[action]

[allephoria]

[She peaks out from behind a wall corner OR SOMETHING IDK MAN and... doesn't say anything because she's just. Staring at Togekiss. It's not frightening per say but... just what is it.]

[action]

[battledancing]

Toge-to! [And of course, Togekiss spots her first. Brb divebombing in her direction, with Cynthia following closely behind,]

A-ah-- easy now, Togekiss...!

[action]

[allephoria]

[SMALL SHRIEK and she ducks behind the corner again. It didn't look scary but that was sudden!!]

[action]

[battledancing]

[IT'S OKAY, WE'RE GETTING TOGEKISS UNDER CONTROL AGAIN... Feathery bag of cute missed Chihiro, that's all. ;w;]

I'm sorry, sweetheart, Togekiss didn't mean to scare you...

[action]

[allephoria]

[Oh... poking her head out again...]

Oh, um... it's okay... Togekiss-san startled me is all...
