Especially among family and friends, where he stood to lose the most should he find where they draw the line. And there is always a line, always a tipping point to one's judgements.[break][break] "There has to be a point where that ends, though. There's always a line, Sere..." How could he know when he crossed someone else's line? He hadn't been there when it was drawn, couldn't know the extent of one's tolerance without first breaching its threshold. And how could he safely assume his sister, stubborn and vindicated as she often was, could have been coerced into joining Team Rocket if it did not in fact fall in line with her own agenda? Always remaining self-serving was in their family's nature.[break][break] "I was just looking out for myself, the way I've learned to while in Hoenn..."[break][break] She was right, though. He only came to her when he felt she was threatened, and the guilt of everything caved in on the shell of apathy he'd maintained since her arrival. Why involve himself in her affairs, when he could remain as he was, alone in Hoenn? The merits and joys of family were often times lost on him, who had absconded to Hoenn to avoid his father. And what was his sister back then, but the intermittent annoyance accompanied by that scrupulous fellow she used to date? The very same one that, unsurprisingly, had brought her into Rocket's fold.[break][break] Yveltal lingers with an air of indifference, seemingly unimpressed by the two, though Serena piques its interest with her final, perhaps even hopeful question.[break][break] "...No." It was a crushing thing to admit.[break][break] "...Though I am loathe to gainsay that your lost ones are beyond your reaching, I would not drag the wool over your eyes after I have Opened them to the Truth. There exists nothing outside the realm of possibility if one should but possess the aptitude necessary... But I would remind you of the nature of our work: In the end, everything dies. It fades, only to be replaced. The cycle never stops..."[break][break] Yveltal turns its lumbering gaze Eastbound, staring wistfully into the distant horizon.[break][break] "...No fewer have wished it such, than have labored to make it so..."[break][break] Its eyes are drawn to Sootopolis, and the emerging presence waiting therein.[break][break] "...For every transgression, for every defiance, later came their regret and remorse in equal parts... When we pass beyond, we are unburdened of our mortal coil—so it is that when returned, we are never the same..."[break][break] Pensively its great cerulean orbs wink shut, before it turns back to its guests.[break][break] "...One day you will discover... Beyond the veil, you are born anew... Though your loved ones will mourn your passing, you will revel in it... So it is with everyone, and everything... They suffer our indignance when we invoke their spirit in selfish need, returned to vessels they no longer remember, as aberrations..."[break][break] Yveltal lowers its head as it reflects upon its purpose.[break][break] "...It is my wish to never again see them suffer in such indignity..."[break][break] Finally it turns its attention back to them, breaking away from sentiment.[break][break] "...And that is why I may yet have need of you..."[break][break] ...How would the two respond to its dire plea? tags Serena Malcolm[break] [attr=class,bottom-text] THE BURDENS WE BEAR SUMMIT OF MT.
