[attr="class,"memorybody"]The ultra beasts' assault left Gigi with a war rampaging in her mind. Hoenn was a resilient region with reconstruction already under way. It was amazing how quickly everyone resumed life as if giant fucking aliens hadn't tried to murder them all. Life had always been a game to her. It was easier to view the world from that perspective. However, she could not shake the feelings or images of her Porygon seizing and glitching due to a foolish mistake on her part.

In desperate need of human contact, conversations to distract from reality, Gigi had searched up Thomas' house. Well, more of a ranch than a house. It had been a surprise to see Thomas among the throes of war. Unlike herself, he handled himself with an intense, unwavering prowess. But she didn't come here to talk about that.

As per usual, Gigi was running away from her problems, attempting to escape from their grasp. However, this time, the real world was moving too fast for her to successfully flee. By the time she reached the address designated to Thomas' ranch, unannounced as per usual, her body was trembling under the weight of her anxiety.

She could keep herself composed like as always had, right? Gigi exhaled as she nervously knocked on the door. Oh Arceus. What if he wasn't even home?
[break][break]When - if - Thomas found her, whether it be from opening the door or trying to get into his house, she greeted him with a smile that didn't quite reach her eyes. Her mask wavered though, shattered like porcelain, and her vision began blurry as tears trickled down her cheeks.
[break][break]"Thomas.." Her voice was heavy, contrasting the usual light and playful tone she used. She opened her mouth again but no words could break through the lump in her throat.
