"Letting others keep you safe is a risk in itself, a gamble on the long run that you'll always be protected."-Daystar Eld, Pokemon: The Origin of Species
"It feels like her heart is being squeezed into pulp, the pain so great that her muffled keen is as much from the simple physical feeling as the grief. Have you ever lost a person?... There's like a crack in your life that doesn't ever really go away. She can feel it, already formed. A dark rift into which all the plans and hopes and dreams of her friend have disappeared forever, a fissure that cuts across the future and splits it off forever from what could have been, and the more she contemplates it, the more it feels like it'll pull her in too, sink her through inky depths that will crush her like an empty soda can. And she does get pulled in, and she does get crushed, and for a time all the world is reduced to the compact agony."-Daystar Eld, Pokemon: The Origin of Species
