So, this realization is kind of consuming me right now, but Matsui, as she's written right now, has no reason to stick around.
My original plan with Matsui was that she was going to try to voluntarily deport herself, only to be interrupted by the City of Angels going up in a blaze and having Valentine bail her out of there.
As a double edged sword, I don't think this is a good idea anymore, which is good because it is gratituous and the aftermath effects would be MASSIVE on everyone else's story if they tried to make it canon, but it also means I have literally no plot device to keep Matsui here. She's not really the type to just stick around in a land she has no connection to for no reason, even if she's dealing with a home dispute of some sort.
I'm open for suggestions here, including the option of just... not letting Matsui come back and assembling a team without the Very Lost Snowpix instead.
>>58630804Hah, I feel that. I'm currently experiencing that myself.
I liked the piece anyways, despite the deadend it became for you. Getting lost like that is pretty relatable, especially for me who doesn't have a sense of direction.
>>58631659There are many Pokemon I'd give a "maybe" to. I don't think there'd be many I'd intentionally want to be though.
>>58631667She's not even an ice type, how'd that even happen!? (I wanted to bring that up with the tears too, to be honest. Ultimately, this discrepancy doesn't matter much.)
I'm glad she's able to care again, after the whole shtick of "JUST KILL ME AND PUT ME OUT OF MY MISERY."
