[The video clicks on to Ys' smiling face.] I've made it to Cherrygrove. That took longer than expected. [Pause. He's been here two days.]

I noticed that people have been naming their pokemon. [He tilts the camera so a Sneasel can be seen. She doesn't wave so much as glare stubbornly at the camera.] This is Freya. I have a pidgey, too, but I can'

Welcome to Cherrygrove, Ys. I am very glad that you made it...

[ Lacus wanted to welcome him to Cherrygrove, but she didn't want him to see how sad she really was after seeing Yayoi and Sheryl's conditions. She wasn't in the right condition to be cheerful, but... she wanted to at least try. ]

Freya... that is a very lovely name.

[voice;]

[harbringersoul]

Thanks. I think it suits her. [She sounds sad. He wonders why.] Are you still in Cherrygrove, Lacus?

[voice;]

[lc_whitequeen]

Yes, I am... but not by choice.

Ys, I must tell you... please be careful. It isn't safe right now...

[voice;]

[harbringersoul]

Oh. All right. [So that was her concern: safety.] Do you mean all the people collapsing?

[voice;]

[lc_whitequeen]

Yes. So you do know about them?

[voice;]

[harbringersoul]

I've seen the broadcasts. [Pause.] It's lose pokemon.

[voice;]

[lc_whitequeen]

I don't really have a lot of information about them, but I believe they are.

That is why you must be careful. These pokemon attack at random...

...two people I know have already had their souls taken from them.

[voice;]

[harbringersoul]

[Silence, and then:] ...sorry. I'll stay inside. [The creatures were besting those that had been here longer than he; Freya and the other one were not strong enough. Even if they were, he had no reason to fight.] You will too, right, Lacus?

[lc_whitequeen]

I wish I could give you my word but...[ Shakes her head. ]

I have friends in trouble that I must help...

[voice;]

[harbringersoul]

...are you strong enough?

[voice;]

[lc_whitequeen]

To be honest, I don't think I am but there is no harm in trying...

And, Athrun and Croix will be with me too. So I believe I will be safe.

[voice;]

[harbringersoul]

Unless you're caught, too. [Pause.] Don't look at their backs.

[voice;]

[lc_whitequeen]

[ Smiles. ] Thank you for your concern, Ys. I promise I won't.

[voice;]

[harbringersoul]

Hm. [Concern? It was useful information.] Good luck.

...post when you get back.

[voice;]

[lc_whitequeen]

I will try... when this is all over. [ Nods. ]

Take care, Ys... and Freya. Mister Pidgey too. I hope to speak to you all later.

[voice;]

[harbringersoul]

We will; we're staying in the PokeCenter. [Pause.] I might see you when you get back.
