            Her eyes are empty pits of black iron. He remembers that once they were brilliant gold, fitting for a trainer who raised fire-types, but now, she has lost everything and there is no expression left. He would feel pity for her, but his heart is forged into the Sacred Sword and he gazes at the world dispassionately, his eyes slanted silver-smooth, mirrored glass. Truly, he feels nothing.

            The cause of their loss is one and the same, and though Ash may be a wonderful child, he is also a fickle, naďve boy, and he does not know what destruction his carelessness may bring, which is why they have to protect him, even if from themselves.

            They’ll shatter to keep him sane, keep him innocent, and so, he dances down the paths of knives and never gets cut.

            What happens when they’re gone?

            They don’t think about it, because the prospect is too terrifying to bear, and they would much rather be vacant shells and keep the peace.
