"....I should gift those girls something soon. To show I am still around."

Huuufff...

"....That Banyan woman.... I still wonder what is up with her."

She has business in Lumiose right now with her Slurpuff behind her as...

Oh. That may explain why Huitaca is out if she is here! Given she has been the one taking care of Reinas Pokemon out of rotation!

Testing. Can I access her now?

"Lileep or Roselia... At least I want to imagine one of these two would make Reinas day come her birthday."

She's already thinking of a birthday gift, isn't she?

"...I think there's a difference between treating her well and treating her like a goddess."

The question is how, if it is possible to mend things between them all.

"...I know Celia is unwilling to compromise on Reinas partner. Which is very concerning."

"...If they're willing to listen. What I have seen is no one is willing to listen, especially if they smell a hint of positive bias to Reina.

Even if Reina has her own share of issues, admittedly..."

Willow is willing to wait. She just worries a lot.

"... I worry the family is going to tear themselves apart before they can stop Aleister.

...Or he'll use their dysfunctional state to capture Reina and win."

"... I wonder if William can convince Lavinia to give Reinas Pokemon back, if at all possible."

Probably asking him for the family to unite is a bit of a stretch but..

...She's hearing Freyas panic in her own room but she kind of feels bad she can't walk out to help her.

"...I feel I need to give everyone a fossil as apologies for this mess."

Of course that's where her mind went to on her way of apologizing.

"I feel like that's just praising, Willy~. You'd call me good looking even if I was a skeleton!"

A bit of playful laughter from her as she held onto his arm. At least Willow can relax for a little bit..

Annalise or Odette?

Found two names I can name this new girl..

"...And I don't want that mans ambitions to tear the family apart. They always seem to have very different ideas on how to deal with the situation.

Some want to go for more tactiful planning. And then ones like Celia want an immediate assault to deal with him quickly."

"...More like I am pretty much a guardian to those kids now. And I guess I am still hopeful we can get things fixed."

That crush did go away quickly when Elena came into the picture. It does help she became friends with Elena before her death.

"I am doing what that mans wife would want."

"You know me. I want to help ensure this family is safe and can finally move on.

...Even if it means pulling my body apart just to make sure no one gets themselves killed."

"You know that man. He'd drop anything he is doing if he hears anything from us, even if we're on the opposite side here."

Perhaps it is tugging at the remnants of the old Aleister to make him move.

"I'll be fine. You know how I always am. I won't give up so easily on what I want, you know."

"...I'll be fine. Though I did have a plan for when I feel better, even if the others wanted to go for the more "Raid the HQ and attack Aleister" plan.

Mostly trick him into seeing us into a trap... If we were to do it, I mean.."

on our own here.."

"...And I feel if you even try to help the other siblings, they'd dismiss you for being on Reinas side. They usually do it if they see anyone going on Reinas side.

Though I feel you can try to be a bit more neutral here if you can... If they would even allow it. Otherwise we'd have to be working-

seems to be seeing Reina as a lost cause. And Freya? She's been in a coma the entire time...

And this other professor was involved too... I don't know much about her but she did aid in helping.."

wasn't for me jumping on him teleporting away, it would have been worse for everyone. Apparently that glitched out other systems on aiding the soldiers there.

...And yet it resulted in him attacking me before disappearing. And now everyone else lost hope. Celia just gave up on everyone. Lavinia-

entire navys worth fleet to go after her. And me and a few other siblings went there and it created this entire mess.

Reina went into the treasure door and basically disappeared according to Darkrai... and I saw Aleister. The man got a bloody Regigigas now! But that isn't the worst part. If it-

"...She managed to find out everything about Darklight island. Seems some of her memories were unblocked. And Darkrai wanted to bring her to the Temple to get that treasure to get an edge over Aleister.

...Turns out Aleister bugged the other sisters, Freyas phone and basically brought an-

"...I'm just saying. Seems Darkrai wanted Reina to go down into that temple. And look what happened here. I'm injured, everyone is feeling hopeless and hating each other, Reina is acting weird coming back...

It's all a big mess. Maybe I could have followed Reina and Freya in.."

"They told me give it a week or two and I'll be able to walk. Thankfully one of the kids broke his mechanical hand otherwise it would have been more permanent."

And yet she was shaking her head.

"...All because they bugged Freyas phone, they found where Reina was going. It's all a mess.."

"Heh. It's not like I'll be walking out anytime soon."

A bit of a playful chuckle from the orangette as she heard that familiar voice.

"You can come in. There's a few stools here you can sit in. I was hoping you'd come by."

At least she's there with her Zangoose, petting him on the head as he is hearing about William coming in.

"...This is kind of an awkward reunion, isn't it."

All she can do is let out a bit of an awkward laugh. This really is feeling odd for her..

"...Well. Of course none of my Pokemon are small enough to carry me around here. Well, they're either too big or too small."

She questions how there could be a wheelchair shortage in the first place.
