...What a relief.
---
I thought I was ready for death, but the closer we got to the deadline the more afraid I felt. Was I afraid of the possibility of pain? Of not knowing what would happen afterward? Of becoming a ghost type and not truly being able to escape? I wonder.
All of the things I'd done, all of the things I've never done... I kept thinking about them. I have too many regrets. Perhaps it's best it was a hoax.
I'm just glad Jack and Flint are alright. Still wish Giovanni actually died.
...
Jack.
I can't believe I let him catch me so easily. I'd been thinking about it ever since he showed interest in becoming a trainer, but I had also planned on having him earn it. M Tobias would... accept that I've allowed another trainer into my life, I think. I'm sure he'll even be happy for it. I think I knew that all along. I just didn't want to believe it so I would have an excuse not to move on.
But Jack doesn't even have a single badge yet. If he thinks he can so easily tame me just because he's caught me, he'll have another thing coming. He has to learn. To grow as a trainer. I may have given myself to him, but he'll have to impress me before he can truly control me.
