You try to convince yourself that that isn't you.
Following that, you briefly leave the facility with your Pokemon in order to see that new apartment of yours, as well as the new roomie you'll be bunking it with.
After helping Turtwig and Pachirisu ferry what little luggage you have from your small Twinleaf home into Sandgem, you recall them and then head to the complex.
Of the many complexes in Sandgem, employees live in a total of three, but make up most of the vacancy in each. You can only hope that you aren't too much of a burden to Major Lucy.
While on the way over to the apartment, you manage to catch a momentary glimpse of Dawn, but you're unable to speak to her due to how far away she is.
As if fate would have it, she's been issued her own room in one of the other complexes, and all you're able to do is watch her walk there from a distance. Such is the life of a beta, but hey, at least you know where to go now if you need to speak to her.
She probably won't be surprised by Rowan's decision, but still.
If you're ever going to make any progression, you're going to have to grow a backbone, and you're determined to do just that. Sort of.
Climbing three flights of annoying stairs, you come up to your new apartment, "Oh god Major Lucy...I hope you're ready to look after a pathetic puss-puss like me..."
Taking a deep breath, you knock on the door and expect the worst.
