[ Walter sighed deeply, dropping his hand. ] I see...

[ Meanwhile Source accepts the apology with a dismissive wave of her fan, but she noticed Walter's demeanour. She papped his cheek, clearly telling him to not look so glum. After all, she's right here! He gave her a look before returning to Harry ]

That does make sense. It has been a year since I arrived, and the people who I knew...they have not returned at all. I did not think it was possible.

[haveyouseenalittlegirl]

[He sighs as well.]

Yeah. Like I said, it's rare. I don't think I ever got someone back that vanished while I was there. As much as I'd hoped for it.

And there were sometimes cases where....they'd come back and not remember anything about the place. My daughter had that happen a few times to her I believe. I don't know if that's worse or not.

[11121_assumption]

They...they won't remember?

[ That's...that's terrible and it shows when he hears that's a possibility. The ide aof people who had meant so much to him, not remembering... ]

I...I shouldn't have expected any better from this world. It gives so much...it only makes sense that it would have another side to it. Nothing can be as good as it made itself appear to be.

[haveyouseenalittlegirl]

[That's....so sad Walter.]

There are good and bad sides to all worlds. Or at least that's my experience in talking to people and coming from my own to this one.

There are good things and there are bad things. What matters most is that we treasure the time we have with the people who become our friends and do our best to make things better, even if the world is dark and sometimes filled with terrible people.

[11121_assumption]

[ Walter exhaled ]

Where I came from...there was no light. The world was corrupt to it's core, stained by humanity.

This place is better. Even if it has the potential to be cruel, it is not...it's not where I came from. The Pokemon are...little angels, in their own ways. [ He glances to Source again who is immediately pleased and gives a distinctive laugh, opening her fan and hiding her mouth. She's a character, but she's good. ]

[haveyouseenalittlegirl]

[That's .....creepily close to what the cult talked about, but he won't go there.]

I'm sorry to hear that. I hope you can find something better here.

[And he does. And he would even if he knew who you were.]

My own world....wasn't the best. It did cruel things, it had terrible people. I lost...so many people. But my daughter was there and she was my light. Sometimes all it takes is one person to live for and everything can be a little better.

[11121_assumption]

{ Oh Harry... ]

...I do have something better here. Anything was better than where I was...and what I was. [ He murmurs, so softly. Another Pokemon approached off screen with a cry, evidently to Walter. It sounded like a Marowak. He gave the off-screen Marowak a smile. ]

[haveyouseenalittlegirl]

Then I'm glad.

[The thing about Harry is. ...he really, honestly is. Total stranger but he thinks people deserve to be happy.]

If things get bad here though, feel free to give me a call. I know we just met but ...I know what having nothing to go back to is like.

[Being dead does that, doesn't it Walter.]

[11121_assumption]

[ Being dead is better than what he had become. ]

...why would you do that for me? [ It had been a year but total strangers showing any kind of kindness...it's not something Walter will really adjust to. ]

[haveyouseenalittlegirl]

Why?

Because I can, I suppose. I don't really need a reason to help people. It's just...the right thing to do.

[11121_assumption]

I don't deserve that. I never have. [ He didn't deserve it as a kid, he didn't deserve it as a teenager and after what he did...yeah, he's never deserved it. Even after being here and...not, being that. He still doesn't see himself as worth anything.

Thankfully his Pokemon disagree. The Litwick smacks him with her fan and is clearly giving him some sass, and the unseen Marowak protests and nudges against his side, given how Walter has to adjust his balance. ]

[haveyouseenalittlegirl]

Your pokemon seem to disagree.

[He smiles at the Litwick. Like he still has no idea who this guys is but yes good job pokemon team.]

And sometimes it's not about what you think you deserve.

[11121_assumption]

[ Walter exhaled deeply, trying to placate his Pokemon without going back on what he said. Thank the Holy Mother one of his more fussy Pokemon hadn't overheard, he didn't feel like trying to wave off Reed the Decidueye trying to smother him because the giant owl still didn't believe he was no longer able to perch on him.

"It's not about what you deserve." He remembers someone who's been telling him that quite often. ]

...Heather keeps saying that. That, this place is not about what we think we deserve.

[haveyouseenalittlegirl]

...Heather?

[Wait, wait..]

Heather Mason?

[11121_assumption]

Yes. [ He knows that tone. ]

You knew her?

[haveyouseenalittlegirl]

[That just makes him chuckle.]

I do actually. I'm her father. Harry Mason.
