>>12209751Ah, finally. Lavender Graveyard. The last stretch of your journey, it seems.
The place is gigantic thanks to Pokemon dying left and right, hopefully it won't take too long to look for mom. Once you find her, everything will be okay, everything will be cool.
"So..Are you ever going to tell me what was up with you back there?" you ask, looking at Rigel with curiosity.
"Hm?"
"Why did you save me, man? I wasn't all that nice to you back at the bar, and neither were you. What was up with you suddenly turning around?"
Rigel throws his head back and stares at the stars above, "Alright then, you really want to freakin' know my story, kid?"
"I don't think I'd be asking if I didn't.."
Rigel doesn't dignify that with a response.
". . . Anyhow. I was a young guy, not too shabby, not that boring, kinda chill overall. Kid, I was the kind of guy who did his shit and went home, I'm not going to lie. Did what I had to do, didn't bother with anyone. Then I met her."
"Monica." he mutters.
"She was a dame, I tell you. SHE, SHE was curt, I tell you. Definition of it. Now, I ask her out, kick the ass of everyone else who wants to fuck her, and we date,"
You assume that's the end and begin to say something, but he cuts you off.
"now we were young, like YOUNG-young. Now kid, lemme tell you something about life. DON'T FUCK TOO EARLY. Fucking too early man...It just sets you up for disappointment. You never get to grow-up, and...I don't know Caesar. Shit was messed up. Her parents got mad, mine disowned me, gave me the edge, I didn't want the edge. I just wanted to live my life. 'How am I going to live with a babby?' was pretty much my whole damn mindset throughout this time. I just...I don't know. I wanted to have fun. I had TOO MUCH fun, then I get stuck with a burden.."
"Then something happened, Caesar, dad died, and I had to take responsibility for mom. I became the man of the lower economy house, and that's when I realized what fatherhood truly meant to me."
