>> Hmmmm, ideally it would be everyone, considering everything.

But if I needed to select one, I wanna say Hope. One ends up feeling a lot better in the sun and outside, I think one would appreciate it considering how long one's been around.

Look mum, I’ve made it!

Neo-ka, what's the deal with the whole "full set of hair" and "mostly walking on two legs" thing? I mean, I've come across countless Eevee, and none of them have shown these traits. Well, okay, I've seen them attempt the occasional bipedal walk, but it never seems comfortable or natural for them. And let's not forget that typical Eevees don't have actual sets of hair on their heads, which you seem to possess. Your sister, too, actually.

I hope you don't mind my nosiness, but I can't help but find it makes you appear a little... Y'know...

Eerily "human-ish..."

That stung. Before either of them knew it, Neo-Ka was at the stranger's face, judgement clouded.

"Anybody w'workin' sight's thinks the same fuckin' thing whenever they see me! I ain't stupid enough t'think no one ain't havin' the same thought! 'Sides, y'think I know how I ended up lookin' like this-?"

"N-Neo, cut it out-!"

This was too much.

"... I'm done."

"Are you okay...?"

"I'm goin' back."

"... Alright..."

They are, uh, clean, right? They look like they've been in there for a while.

That's a nice hiding spot for these items, too! Very clever!

Though I have my wonders about how you managed to implement that into a solid brick wall.

"..."

It's possible to tell Neo-Ka was thrown off by.. Something. He couldn't say what.

"... Eh, I'm fine, really. 'Course, this hidin' spot been here long b'fore I knew 'bout it."

This city's hidin' them all over the place, if ya know where to look. Some of these are used around town by different 'mon for different reasons. Heard some's been here longer than anybody remembers. Every so often, new spots get carved out for the new buildings here.

That said... Kinda a miracle all that was there, that spot's reserved by a faction. All I need's somethin' else I couldn't fit in."

Neo-Ka would finally come back to the old store, planning to get anyone else up if they hadn't awoken just yet.

Thank you, anon. I needed to hear that...
