[ If anyone is looking for N, he will not be easy to find. His Pokemon seem to be missing too, though his name still registers on the SFC. However, he does not seem to be answering messages, though one is free to leave one and try their luck

So he calls.]
...N-kun?

[....hesitation.
He doesn't want to lie, and so he hesitates. Is he okay...? He settles for a happy medium.]
I'll be fine, N-kun. It isn't anything to be concerned about.
[Does this sound familiar--]

[ Wait. Was that sarcasm? N says it like he says anything else, and he is not the type to be sarcastic. ]

Or...
We can talk. As friends, and as equals. But it's your decision, N-kun--I won't think less of you either way.

[ There is a long silence. Then a small, childish: ]
You don't want to scold me?

I don't have anything to scold you for.
[...and, somewhat amused--]
You found something you were willing to fight for, huh?

[ He murmurs. ]
I just always go about it the wrong way.

[...hmmm.]
Violence maybe wasn't the best option, but what you did also wasn't the worst. Don't be so hard on yourself, N-kun; you have to put everything into perspective.

He probably doesn't care even now.
[ N's voice is sad. ]
I won't bother him any more. I can't change him. But I couldn't just let it go like that. Doing nothing. His poor Pokemon...

You can change him. You've probably already started to change him.
Because...even if not much, next time he goes to do something, he'll remember this. And he'll think about it.

It's already started. His Feraligatr turned on him in the middle of a battle. He'll try to beat it into submission, but that will only work for so long. There's already so much anger in it...
[ It is easier, to talk about others instead of himself. Even Pokemon. ]

...Yes. He'll have to learn. You only got it started.

But that isn't why you're pushing everyone away. Why are you isolating yourself?

I need to learn to take care of myself.
[ He sounds determined about that, at least. ]
Reply
...You don't think you're learning already?
Learning to take care of yourself doesn't mean being alone.

[ He swallows heavily. ]

...I'm sorry, but I don't see it.
I don't understand.
