“I feel peaceful.”

“You do?” Yellow asked. “I suppose I do too. Now that the Elite Four are dead, Kanto is safe.”

She was not looking at him, so she did not see Red’s expression change into anger and disgust, twisting his features. Abruptly, he got up and strode over to a lemonade stand, buying two cups. He came back and handed one to her, before he returned to his contemplation.

He had finally come to grips with his wife’s death, and Yellow just had to bring it up again! Even if her ambitions had been misguided, she deserved better.

No, there was no way he would ever be able to forgive Yellow. He hated her.

But wherever Lance was, Red hoped she had found peace, and he knew Lance had not meant to leave him, so he was reconciled with that.

Now he just needed to take his revenge.

After all, no one would suspect him. His acting was flawless, and they knew not that beneath a calm exterior, his soul seethed. It would be quick, and clean.

Yes, and then, he would join her, and be happy again. Only then would he know true peace.

Emotion is good for the soul… and so is Yellow-bashing!
