[Yes, she is still in Blackthorn. Yes, it's been gods know how long. But she's here with a purpose, and boy does she have a one-track mind. The video flickers on, showing the grand and majestic gates of the Blackthorn City gym. Fransizka looks pleased, standing before it with her crop in hand and at ready.]Good day, Johto. It has been some time

... there are plenty of things here I could comment on, yet I feel like I should wait until she's gone through with her challenge to bring them up.

[recrimination]

[She's done with her challenge, all right. And the video feed is showing her walking out of the gym.

... looking so frustrated oh gods. I don't even have an icon for this, because she's scuffled and looks like she's ready to cry angrily.]

M-Miss Franziska?! *n-not saying the whole thing for once since he's worried* A-Are you all right? Don't tell me you actually...

I... I...! [crouching and being a total girl :|a just. sob. she's not even being coherent right now.]

Mi... Miss Franziska! Um-! T-Take a deep breath! Just... just take a moment to collect yourself!

[FRUSTRATION]

I-- I was not enough!

[recrimination]

[s-so much frustration, sob]

Then... how could I have lost?

[video]

[combat_butler]

Y... You're just doing them in reverse order, that's all! So the barrier you need to climb to overcome the gym there is set a lot higher! It's definitely not your fault though!

[recrimination]

P-perhaps... however, I have stayed in Blackthorn for too long, and it does not feel right if I cannot leave with a badge in hand. My itinerary is already off-course!

[video]

[combat_butler]

Um, then... I know it might be tough to talk about, but... W-What do you think the reason for your defeat was? Were they just too strong? Was it a type disadvantage?

Because I, ah... *tiny breath* I... I think that Miss Franziska von Karma I know would buckle down and reflect on the battle! All so she could go back later and achieve a perfect victory.
