Surely no different than any other year, I would hope.

Of course, of course.

In fact... it's never too soon to dispense a few favours. Something's troubling you, isn't it?

Mhm. There's no point in being surprised when the Being of Knowledge knows something...

I'm sure you know exactly what is is troubling me besides EVERYTHING. Is he safe? I know there was some bad weather in that area, and he was driving...

Ah... often, those who beg me for answers actually don't desire truth at all. I offer this gift to you freely, but... are you sure you want it, Blacky?

Is it really much better to live in delusion?

Very well. You ask if the man you call your trainer is safe.

The answer is no.

What happened?!

Ah, it's simply awful...! It would take a miracle simply to...

Aiya, I say too much! The Original One frowns on meddling in the course of things... perhaps I've overstepped my bounds.

Meddling in the course of things? She has no right to be upset with anything you do after what she pulled. But I'm sure you know all about that as well.

Tell me.

No right...? Goodness! What bold words! We are not manmade species, and thus, she is god unto us all. Above us. Her actions are only right or wrong if she decides they are, Blacky; you would do well to remember that.

My actions, on the other hand, are not meant to be in my hands. I was intended merely to observe, to remember. What do you suppose will happen if I tell you, you rush off into mortal peril in hope of saving him, and you inevitably get yourself killed? I imagine the Original One will be terribly cross about that perfectly avoidable loss of life, don't you think?

I would die for my trainer without a second thought. I'm sorry that you've lived so long you've forgotten what it's like to care for the short lives of others, if you ever did at all.

I'm not going to have my life dictated by someone who let Team Rocket exist and torture her children, but interfered when I tried to bring that man to justice. She is no god of mine.

You may well find that attempting to disown her will just make her focus her attentions on you all the more. For someone who so dearly loves her children's ability to choose, the Original One is very unaccustomed to being unloved.

But... ah, you dark types are so harsh, aren't you? You turn down this path out of spite and blame, but even so, you've chosen that path yourself. Perhaps the Original One may not approve, but the being of knowledge favors those who seek their own truth.

No more than three yes or no questions, Blacky. I give you this much, but only that; you may have won my favor, but I shan't have you endangering yourself for the sake of something that cannot be changed. I would say it's because I care for you, but it seems I've forgotten how to.

Are you trying to provoke me...

...Thank you. [Hmm. Questions, questions. Saying that she might rush off to save him implies that he's not dead at least, so...]

Will he come back?

Yes... though not unscarred.

[WHAT. Oh man how the heck can she ask about scars as a yes or no question... But if he does come back she can ask him about it. Right? Maybe.]

...Will he have changed? Mentally, that is. A few physical scars or a new haircut doesn't quite cut it.

Yes.
