    It took Leaf a beat to work out what Nova meant. "Ferals... oh, you mean like. They're, uh. Like they're not people? I don't think there are any pokémon like that where I come from. They're not pets or trained animals or anything like that. Most of 'em definitely don't act like humans, either...

    "You're fine," Leaf said firmly. "I like having someone to talk to. If you need somebody to hear you out, I don't mind! Even if I can't really get my head around the whole thing, I know that helmet and the people who made you wear it screwed you up. Don't have to be a shrink to know that kinda...

    "Well then, maybe that means you get to choose on your own now!" Leaf smiled again, a little more earnestly this time in spite of the bleariness. "It's not just gonna magically come to you while you're thinking in circles about what someone else made you do before. If that was how it worked I'd...

    "Maybe it'll be easier to remember once the helmet's off again," she mused, frowning, but shrugged after a few beats. "Until then... maybe you get to decide for yourself? Are there things you like, or things you want to try? Outside of battling, I mean. Might be a way to help you feel more at...

    "Not like relating's easy just because we might've been human before," Leaf snorted. Koa and Jade were great, she understood them and they understood her, but it wasn't like she knew any of the others. Maybe it was just because pretty much all the other humans were adults and their heads were...

    Hm. Maybe it was too close to home for him, then. "That's... awful," Leaf said, and she meant it, even if it was still kind of hard to wrap her head around. She wasn't sure which sounded worse: being alone all the time with nowhere to go, or being around other people and feeling more trapped...

    There wasn't a whole lot about the chaos last night that'd actually stuck, beyond the overriding sense that everything was just terrible. He might've said something like that, hadn't he, somewhere in there. "I'd like to say I know a little about what that's like, but I don't think having an...

    "I know someone made you do things you didn't want to. You don't have to talk about what it was if you don't want, either." Leaf wasn't sure she wanted to hear, but it was kinda hard to imagine anything would really make her feel that much worse right now. "Whatever it was, I know it can't've...

    That... wasn't really an answer? She didn't think? She had no idea what Powehi had to do with it, at least, but he didn't really seem in the mood to explain. Seemed kind of distracted by something on the ground, actually? Leaf couldn't see anything down there other than cobblestones and ants...

    Always that word with him, wasn't it. Something else to focus on, at least, a weird little beacon through the couple different sources of static going through her head. "Yeah, you, uh, keep mentioning 'fate'. I'm not sure I really get it, sorry. You think Cipher and the Coven were always...

    Of... of course. Someone had to tell Lucien about. Someone had to show Lucien about. Yeah. She'd really been hoping someone else would take care of it while she focused on preparing for what they were actually going to do about this. Which someone else was, to be fair! Sorta less fair that she...

    He wasn't the only one, as it happened. Or, rather, he definitely was, because Leaf was very alert and awake after a fantastic night's sleep. Totally uninterrupted aside from the part where they'd gotten a super helpful affirmation of what they needed to be focusing on next, mostly, maybe one of...

    Thankfully, yes definitely "thankfully" that was 100% the right word for it yep, the mention of burning the body managed to break through the fog still tumbling around Leaf's head. With the threat of a mental image she really didn't want anything to do with, sure, but hey, actively needing to...

    Leaf remained quiet as the others talked, still kind of looking down at the grave but not quite having the space in her brain to process or focus on anything in particular. That was a lot of information to take in all at once; it'd sure be neat if everyone could slow the hell down for like five...

    A dead guy? There was a dead guy in there? Leaf pushed her way over to the hole to see for herself. Definitely looked like a zoroark down there. Definitely completely motionless. No clue what anyone was on about with ciphers or feigns or whatever, but also definitely had a vizor that looked a...

    No? He wasn't even gonna try? Okay then, Leaf supposed. Seemed like the least the guy could've done after all... that, but if he still needed to put himself in time out for now then whatever. Still, she couldn't help narrowing her eyes at him a little as he walked away. Long as he did something...

    "Leaf, yeah," she said, nodding. Well, he could move enough to roomba up the berry, at least—that was good. "Glad we didn't lose track of you! Everything oughta be..." Hm. "Fine" probably wasn't the right word. "...calmer now, I think," she settled on after a beat or two. She bent down to get a...

    Everything was loud and hurt and shouting and then, after a few minutes that felt like a few years, it finally stopped happening so much. It still ached a little to breathe through the last of the fog, but only a little. Definitely only a little. It looked like everyone was... mostly?... okay...

    There was a howl behind Leaf as the combined attacks finally, finally brought the Wolf down. They'd done it. They were going to be okay. That was all they'd needed to do. Now maybe they could finally figure out what this guy was even doing here— There was a howl. There was shouting. Similar to...

    Off by the road, out of immediate sight behind the cane stalks, Leaf was trying hard to catch her breath. She'd stopped pretending to cry, even done her best to have the sound sort of fade out like it was getting further away. Hard to tell how well she'd managed it, though, with her chest still...
