   Evelyn had always been a little vain, but her love for her daughter, Persephone, softened her sharp edges. Since the upheaval caused by Kyogre, she’d made the big decision to move to Slateport. The damage had left her shaken, and though she could be stubborn, she knew that a fresh start was what they both needed. Living near the beach brought a sort of peace she hadn’t expected, and the chance to walk along the shoreline each day had become a comforting new routine. Persephone, too, seemed to relish the change. The little girl was thrilled by the endless stretches of sand, the waves, and the warm sun on her face as she skipped along the coast.[break][break]

It had only been a few days since the chaos, and Evelyn found herself frequently gazing out to sea, lost in thought. She missed her Dragonite, a creature that had been both a source of pride and a challenge. She had been a thorn in her side more times than she could count, stubborn and fierce, but also one of the mightiest Pokémon she had ever battled beside. Her death had been a hard decision, one she still wrestled with, but it was the right thing to do, she reminded herself. At least Persephone seemed to be coping well. The three-year-old hadn’t fully grasped what it meant to let someone go. Evelyn was grateful for her daughter’s innocence and the shield it provided. She wanted to protect that innocence as long as she could, sheltering Persephone from the harsh realities of life.[break][break]

Today felt like an important step forward. The holidays were approaching, and the thought of sharing Thanksgiving with someone special lit a spark of excitement within her. She had been considering inviting her girlfriend over for the time to meet Persephone. Evelyn had plenty to be grateful for, and though her life wasn’t exactly the picture of perfection, it was beginning to blossom in ways she hadn’t expected. Having her girlfriend over would be one more way to fill their home with new memories, laughter, and love.[break][break]

As the afternoon sun cast a warm glow through the kitchen window, Evelyn was busy stirring a pot of soup, lost in thoughts of the days to come. The faint sound of a knock at the door snapped her back to the present. She glanced over her shoulder to see Persephone’s eyes light up with curiosity.[break][break]

“Mommy, someone’s here!” Persephone exclaimed, bouncing with excitement.[break][break]

“Go ahead, sweetheart,” Evelyn replied with a smile. She watched as her daughter toddled off toward the door, small footsteps pattering on the floor. After a few moments she open the door and waved. "Hi, Miss! Who are you?"[break][break]

it’s not that absinthe is unused to children or that she’s unfamiliar with the concept of a family. it’s not even that she’s nervous to meet evelyn’s daughter.[break][break]

it’s more that absinthe feels as though she’s walking into a world of light when she’s covered in darkness, like there’s the potential for her very presence to taint this happy little family with the horrors she’s seen.[break][break]

but evelyn had asked her over, and there’s no real way for absinthe to decline, not when she knows what evelyn means to her. not when evelyn’s been so supportive. so instead of voicing her concerns or pushing back, absinthe merely nods and forces a small smile onto her face when the door swings open to reveal a young girl.[break][break]

"hello, sweetheart," she says gently, kneeling to eye level with the girl. "i'm absinthe." absinthe leaves her hand outstretched between them, inviting the girl to shake it. "it's a pleasure to meet you."[break][break]

but she can't help the way her eyes flick up, searching for evelyn, as if begging for help. this world is so foreign to her, a happy little domestic scene that absinthe could never imagine for herself. is she really welcome here, or is she just an intruder? does she belong in this world, or does she only belong in her lab, in her safe spaces, with evelyn far away from her and the life she leads?[break][break]

she knows she can't ask any of these questions. she's been invited here, and it would be incredibly rude and insensitive of her to ruin this moment, this connection that evelyn is clearly hoping they can build.[break][break]

so absinthe swallows her questions and her doubts and her fears. she forces the small smile onto her face and she hopes against hope that she's good enough, that she can be someone this little girl likes and respects. someone who won't bring horror and death and darkness into her life.[break][break]

"you must be persephone," she continues, glancing up towards the house. "can i come in?"
