It was a few weeks since he left. N Harmonia, my mysterious hottie. I never confessed. I never hinted at it. I just defeated him, and watched as he exposed his true self...then flew away. He never had time to stop and allow me to tell him how I felt about him. I never had time to tell him how I felt about him. After that, things started falling apart in my family.
My dad told my mom that he was married to another woman. We had been divorced for two years now, and the truth came charging at us like a bullet that day. My mom gave me the bad news: we were going to have to move to another part of Unova. I had never felt so sad in my life. No more Cheren, no more Bianca. They had been my best friends ever since childhood. It was unfair. What would I be doing without my friends? Mom said that we were leaving on Tuesday.
It's Tuesday now, and I'm at the train station. I have my goodbye cards from Cheren and Bianca with me. Iris even sent me one. You know, the friend that I rarely even hang out with. She wrote a goodbye card to me. With that, I know that my move is serious business. "Touko, the train's here." Oh, crap. The train has just arrived. Time to board.
I'm on the train. Everything is quiet. I reminisce over the good times I've spent with Cheren, Bianca, and Iris. Good times, good times. And also N. For as long as I live, I'll never forget N. He left, and now I'm leaving. I look over my cards for the thousandth time when I hear it. The roar of the train. The ear-piercing gleam as it pulls into the station. The noise it makes as the doors open remind me of a cymbal crash. I unbuckle my seatbelt, get up from my seat, and step out of the train with my mom, luggage in hand.
The train station we've arrived at is packed. Foreigners, native people, and...people who're moving here. Ugh. I don't want to live in a new house. I want Cheren and Bianca back. Why does this have to happen to me? Why can't I just be someone else? As we shuffle through the crowd, I look at billboards advertising the place I'm going to live in now. 'Virbank City: City of falling fog and rising stars!' 'See Roxie in concert on Saturday night!' No. I don't want any of that crap. I want Nuvema Town. I want home. I want my friends. I want my peace and quiet. And then we walk out of the station.
"This is it, Touko! Virbank City," my mom tells me. "Do you like it?" I want to say no, but instead just play along. "Yeah, I do," I lie. I sulk along the sidewalk, watching the fog go by. Damn, I wonder what Bianca's doing right now, I think to myself. She's probably crying. I look up from my musing and see my new house. It's part of a complex. I just want to scream right now.
After depressingly setting up my bedroom, I go outside and explore the city. Wait. Hold on a moment. That can't be... As I squint at the figure I see in the distance, I finally make out who it is. N.
