[ a hum, drawn. five-tone chime of the pokemon center machine. the feed starts unceremoniously. ]

Mm, say, if you were sent home tomorrow...

What's the first thing you'd do when you go back?

Each of them is worth everything else in the world.

[reveiller]

[ a chuckle, here. ] I suppose that's the secret to becoming a rich man overnight.

[video]

[paladinlost]

Ah, but that makes them too precious to even sell. Who could pay that price?

[video]

[reveiller]

I daresay a very miserable yet materialistic man could-- and would. If you think about it, he'd be paying for happiness.

[video]

[paladinlost]

...I truly doubt he'd find it there.

voice.

[reveiller]

Mm, I might have to partially disagree with you, there. It would be a way for a miserable man to learn what happiness is.

[video]

[paladinlost]

Would a truly materialistic man be able to see the happiness beneath the paint and canvas? If his own Pokémon had painted it, perhaps...

[video]

[reveiller]

I daresay it might work if you refused to sell it. Even a very materialistic man will eventually come to understand.

[video]

[paladinlost]

Before it is too late, hopefully. Some only learn their lesson at the very end.

[video]

[reveiller]

Mm, if you saw a man like that... Would you help them, or would you wait until the very end?

[video]

[paladinlost]

I would reach out as much as I can, but I cannot force anyone to listen to me.

[video]

[reveiller]

How much is 'as much as you can'?

[video]

[paladinlost]

...Until they try to kill me. They rarely listen, by that point.

[video]

[reveiller]

You sound experienced.

[video]

[paladinlost]

That's not necessarily the sort of experience you'd want to have.

[video]

[reveiller]

Don't they say that all experiences are equally precious?

[video]

[paladinlost]

...'They' have obviously never been hit by a bolt of black lightning while trying to talk peacefully.

[video]

[reveiller]

You survived, didn't you? I daresay it must've made you stronger.

[video]

[paladinlost]

I mostly survived because my brother was not trying to kill me in the first place.
