[There are a lot of unanswered questions, plenty they'll probably never get answers for. Cyrus had come to them touting that they weren't a threat to him or a problem, yet turned around and intended to destroy them anyway. Yeah, alright.

But Atsushi has more in his heart to feel pity for the people and Pokemon affected than he does anger for Cyrus. Cyrus can go rot for all he cares.]

Yeah.

[That's honestly what brought Atsushi to this point. Because being of use to others, helping people where he can...it's all he has. It's the only thing keeping his self worth intact.

Without it, he's nothing.]

I know just giving up isn't going to be the answer. That's what Cyrus wants us to do, barring just not existing to meddle in the first place. But he has the powers of a god while we have a tiny group and the help of the Guardians, but not much else.

I want to trust that this world isn't going to be consumed by emptiness so easily. When they were given their spirit back, the people and Pokemon here...they're so full of life. And they're strong. It can't be easy to take that away.
