[ Good morning, Johto! While most of you might have been busy with intense stuff like digging and legendaries, one little girl is just sitting in the lobby of the Pokémon Center as if nothing special happened. The table in front of her is filled with paper in all sorts of colors and she's just cutting away at it and folding it to make all sorts of silly party decorations like paper strings. She's not particularly good at it, but at least it seems she's working hard.

She's humming along to the music, by the way. With her typical 'uu's. ]

Uu-uu-uu... Uu-uu-uu-uu..

[ She starts to making something remotely pumpkin-shaped as a paper string decoration. ]

Uu-, have to work hard for Maria and Lion's ice cream party.. Have to make really pretty decorations so it will be the best party! And then lots of people will come and have fun together, it will be really fun and.. lively..

[ At that last word she drops the paper back on the table, her facial expression dropping. ]

Why.. Uu-.. Why did Battler and Ange go home, why didn't they stay for Maria's party.. uu-..

Beato too.. Beato promised to come! Beato would come visit Maria and then come to the tea party too, uu-uu-! Why? It's not fair, not fai-r! Everyone's leaving without Maria.. uu-uu-!!

[ There's another sniffle and congratulations, Johto, you have earned yourself one kid in the middle of a temper tantrum. She starts crying, the 'uu's still mixed in all over the place, as she picks up one of the paper decorations she made and crumbles it up before throwing it away. ]

( ooc: feel free to action it up if you're in Violet City. )

[This is becoming eerily familiar to Keiichi... But he can't put his finger on why that is. No, he knows. Just like when he heard about Satoko and her uncle. He's still going to stubbornly stick to his guns, though.]

--Oi, Maria-chan. Why can't you just blame your mother for being a bad mother? Magic doesn't have anything to do with it. It's simply your mother mistreating you. A friend of mine went through a similar experience and she didn't blame a witch.

Mama isn't doing anything bad to Maria at all! Mama loves Maria a lot, uu-uu-! Mama and Maria just want to be happy together, but the Black Witch keeps ruining it!

[ She's raising her voice now. ]

Keiichi doesn't understand.. doesn't want to believe, uu-!

[Also raising his voice since he knows she needs help.]

Maria-chan! I can't believe in such a sad truth! No, it's not about me believing or disbelieving! The point is that you need help and quickly! Listen! If you're having problems with your mother, then you should talk to someone! Anyone! Your cousins or your friends will help you through this! You don't have to force yourself to hide in these illusions! You're only hurting yourself even more by fooling yourself! I can help you too! Please hear me out! There's a place called the Child Protection Agency! They can can take care of you or even find you a better family, so that you won't have to suffer anymore! So please just accept that you need help and I will help you without fail...!!!

Maria isn't suffering at all..! Don't know what Keiichi is talking about! There are no problems between Mama and Maria at all aside from the Black Witch. Mama and Maria are really happy together..

... Won't allow Keiichi to ruin Maria and Mama's happy relationship!

W-what?! I'm not trying to ruin anything! I only want to help you out! You just have to say that you need help and I'll do whatever it takes to save you!

Maria doesn't need any help. Maria and Mama are very happy together, so there's nothing to help. Maria already punished the Black Witch before, and if she'll dare to pop up again..

[ She doesn't finish that sentence. Have a creepy giggle instead. ]

Kihihihihi!

[Keiichi pauses for a moment. Was that... coming from her?]

..... eh? Maria.... chan? [What was going on with her?]

So.. Keiichi understands now, right? [ Her expression is suddenly back to normal again, that creepy hint from earlier completely gone. Was it just your imagination? ]

Maria and Mama are re-ally happy, uu-! There's nothing sad at all!

[... What... just happened? Did he really imagine all of that?]

... If... you say so, then. Sorry for yelling at you.

It's okay. Keiichi just didn't understand, but it's okay since Keiichi understands it now, uu-!

Keiichi is a good kid.

No... I'm not as good as you think. I've done plenty of bad things.

What sort of bad things, uu-? Maria's sure Keiichi never did anything that can't be forgiven.

I'll tell you someday. People sin all the time, but it's how we atone for them that matters most of all.
