"I'm just...write...maybe? Call?"

"There's always the chance... Look, Ethan, it's how long you were quiet that had me so worried."

"You don't know how strong someone is until you fight them."

Ken tried not to frown. He couldn't tell him...

"...Multiverse isn't a good place to champions at times, Ethan."

"It's an if, Ethan... A concern of if something like that happens..."

"Think of it this way. If it takes a lot to beat you, that means it would be deadly to go against."

You'll never hear me say that you, the real you, is anything but good.

"But you are, Ethan... Champion doesn't make you unstoppable."

"That older Silver, Garnett... I understand but I can't tell them to start. Because I understand..."

"I can understand that... I can't control everyone else..."

"That's the plan!"

"He's not leaving this world without me..."

"I'm making sure that doesn't happen to this one..."

"..."

He had to resist asking what building.

"Went out a hero, then..."

"...I...I'm sorry..."

"Not a surprise..."

"Thank Arceus Garnett doesn't have to worry about... You both have it rough."

"Right... So don't tell anyone?"

"I may not be the smartest but I have a good eye."

"Is it bad I noticed?"

"I've noticed your hair sometimes..."

Ken couldn't help a soft laugh.

"Guessing that's why the feathers."

"Yeah."

"I just mean it's natural you'd see me around."

"We've tried..."

Ken gave a soft laugh.

"I've known Garnett for a long time..."

"Good luck with that..."

"I can't help worrying! You're my little brother. It's what big brothers do."

"...Sadly, it is."

...Oh, he must not know...

"Ha. I mean same can be said for me and Ethan so I get it."
