Ughhh....

The older subway master rolled on the bed, the groan escaping his lips as he groggily got up. It was stranger for him to be so... slow and everything in the morning. He was usually rather... productive and everything, ready to go even though it was morning.

Not today.

Today he just wanted to wring something. Strangle something. Throw something at the wall. That insatiable feeling of needed to release the irritation he had as of now was pushed down firmly. No. He was not going to lose his composure. Something like this wasn't going to stop him, not now, not ever.

So instead, he did his usual morning routine in a daze and instead of going towards the subway, wandered out to the streets.

And bumped right into someone.

Bill opened the door, stepping outside of his Sea Cottage for the first time in a few days. He had been so busy working on things that he didn't get the chance to leave... but he didn't forget Valentine's Day. Oh no, he didn't forget it for a moment.

It was a good excuse to get out, to walk around Cerulean City... But unfortunately, he wasn't near the person who he had a crush on. Even if he was, he never would've had the courage to talk to them anyway. And what would he do? Buy her flowers? Well, considering the fact that she was the flower shop owner's daughter, she probably already had plenty. It'd be like if someone bought him a computer, or gave him an Eevee.

But, he decided to try not to think about Valentine's Day, and to just have a little walk around the little city. There wasn't going to be any stress or worry or anything. He found that his luck was better when he wasn't near machines. Well, that wasn't going to be any sort of problem, right?

When he looked ahead, he saw someone in the distance. He wasn't able to tell exactly who they were, but he waved anyway. It seemed that they were approaching him.
