Log:
Iris was curled on her hotel room bed, absently playing with her Gear. She had tried calling Shadow again earlier, but to no avail. She really was concerned about her friend, but she hoped fervently that he was alright. She thought guilty about the conversation they'd had once. Shadow had told her that although she had rushed to Phoenix's side when he was in need, she wouldn't do the same. She bit her lip, ignoring the voice inside her head that said 'Isn't that exactly what you're doing now? He could be hurt or sick or dead and you're just sitting here. What kind of friend are you?'
Iris shakes her head, biting her lip harder. 'No! Shadow's a strong person and he had his Pokemon with him. I'm sure he's just fine...Just fine...He's just fine.' She repeats the thought over and over in her head like a mantra, her fingers tightening around her Gear. 'He just has to be!'
But the sound of the Gear's static as she called haunted her, and she felt tears building in the corners of her eyes. "I'm so sorry Shadow." she says aloud, attempting to wipe the tears from her eyes only to have more replace them. "I've been a horrible friend to you. I-I don't deserve your friendship. This all happened on my watch, and I could have done something to-" She breaks off, tears running down her cheeks. "I'm so very sorry!"
