[A Plusle is hopping down the stairs toward the younger pair. He had just left Miles' room followed by his solemn trainer, and he stops by the pair of younger Pokémon to see if they are in need of any assistance.
Miles stops at the top of the stairs to watch, for a moment, before he heads to Ken's room.]
[Rem does not understand what it is but he will join Rom. Ares, our trainers have gotten things today that are worse than coal and if Ken left it downstairs he probably doesn't want it.

Miles' gaze will flicker to the staircase, then back to Ken.] Do you mind if I stay here for a little while?

I don't mind. [He moves over a little so Miles can sit on the bed, too, if he wants.]

[Miles will sit, brooding, pretending he isn't brooding.]

I doubt it.

[Miles seems to sag with relief a little. That's good.]
Clover must have gotten something too.

I wonder if everyone got something bad.

I don't think so. Probably just some of us.

It's bad luck, then?

It could be. Or we could have done something terrible.

You haven't done anything wrong.
