hey, do you mind if we talk for a moment?

hm? oh, sure. what's up?

...it's about her.

ah. yeah.

you know it wasn't your fault, right-?

but it was.

no- leafie, it wasn't.

...

we all miss her, but we'd never blame you. you didn't know any better.

and that's the problem, blue! i should've known better! i should've listened to dawn when i had the chance!

leaf-

it's my fault! dawn is dead because of me! a-and umber- eevee, my eevee, is gone too!

leaf, listen! your kindness being taken advantage of was not your fault and it never will be! how were you supposed to know?

red and i love you. that's not gonna change. ever.

don't you think dawn would be upset if she found out you're blaming yourself for all this?

...you can't just say that.

maybe i don't know for sure, but i have a feeling she wouldn't like seeing you this upset.

...i'm so sorry, i didn't mean to yell, it's just...

yeah, yeah, i know. don't apologize. you're... going through a lot right now. we all are. but that's okay. we can- we can heal, we can move on. it'll take time, but i promise it will get better than this. i love you.

...i love you too, blue.
