Double Revelation
The next day went as the last had, but with Julie less present in her and Alyssa's interactions. Even in her and Midnight's. Her mind had spun throughout every hour, with the urge increasing to understand what she had never understood. That night,...
Commitment
On a weekend, one late sunny afternoon, a group of young teens stood amid a huge, sprawling grassy field in Laverre City-- four in total, an even mix of boys and girls in casual clothing with...

Guilt, Regret, and Recovery
Jenna sat in a chair. She'd been taken into a small office with the head defender: '_Harrison_' as displayed on his chest badge, and Jan. Both sat before her, rough in personality. They wore the base's standard outfits. "You left the base around...

Crystal opened her eyes to sunlight hitting the curtains. She woke up under the blanket and saw Ray nowhere in sight upon lifting her head, yawning. This was the first time she didn't have to worry about whether he was okay. Still, she was curious....
