Description Bad things happen to good people,
but you still wonder why it happens to you.

When the Kami Trio started destroying the villages she ran back to see what had become of her family, but since the place was flooded she couldn't get close to check. I know this scenario is like, everywhere, but this will be the first time Momoko has ever felt loss so bare with me. I think it's an important part in her character development. This will also be the point in which she starts to feel abnormally cold even when it isn't.

I wanted to do something depressing. Really really depressing. What? They said dealing with the situation. They didn't say to deal well with it. And no, this isn't my Q4 submission, I'm going to do a group one where she actually does something other than cry.

This is the first time I've ever done anything in this style, semi-realistic whatever so please don't critique too harshly. I admit it was pretty fun though and kinda refreshing and it's nice to see that I can draw strong expressions because I was always pretty certain I couldn't. I didn't draw lines because... I thought the sketch looks better than anything. And I'm lazy.

I think I was to an extent inspired by the book 'A Long Way Gone' so I think that's where the melodramatic vibe came from. Sorry if there's no background, you can think of the context on your own.

So... did you cry a little on the inside when you saw this? If you did then I have succeeded!

I feel so sad for Momoko. Poor little girl. I hope she'll be able to find her family in the end, if they are safe. *Huggles Momoko*

Hani:"....Momo-chan...." He hugs her tightly. "So it was you the one feeling cold.....go on.....cry on my shoulder, I'll keep you warm."

When you hug a torchic it feels warm, because it has a flame sac inside it's belly that perpetually burns.....according to the pokedex.

I'm sure she will. Eventually. I just like to torture my characters a little ya know? What about Hani's family? They okay?

Momoko: Everyone's family is missing, and here I am crying. She thought grimly, reluctantly hugging him and burying her face into his shoulder. She couldn't bring herself to care though, because she didn't want to share his warmth with anyone. "Does that mean I can come to you whenever I'm cold?"

Oh! It's true! xD Wow I can't believe they put that in the pokedex.

In my mind, I've always placed Hani's family in another country far away from Pokimono, that I forget that they should stay in the country of pokimono, so I forget to make Hani worry about the family that does live there. *smacks forehead.*.....They are fine, but Hani's sickly mother may be having a tough time. (Our characters need a little torturing I do it all the time 0 u 0 )

Hani: Still holding her, his eyes look off ahead. He brings his hand to hold the back of her head. "Of course you can. I'll be here for you, whenever you need me...everyone's experiencing a loss...it hurts...a lot, I know." He nuzzles his cheek on her head, "but we'll all get through this," he smiles a bit, "I am sure of it. You won't cry for long Momo-chan, I promise."

Haha, yeap! *huggles my little torchic* > u <

It's not impossible, there are probably other countries other than Pokimono that we don't see. But then again it's more convenient for the story and Hani especially because he visits frequently right? How old are his siblings anyway? (Is it wrong to think that their relationship has thus far has been going too smoothly?)

Momoko: "Thank you, for everything you keep doing for me." Her eyes became wet with tears and she thanked him repeatedly through choked sobs muffled by his shirt. She didn't know what else to do. "O-okay I think I'm done now," her breath still shaky but her tears were gone. One hand slowly released the shoulder blade it had held onto and reached around herself to find his. "Did anyone ever tell you that you have guy's hands?"

GOD HANI YOU LADY KILLER! >//////<

Lol she's fine, she's just in shock. Really, she makes it to the shelter mostly fine. Just traumatized. Wait a minute how did DD age so fast?

Momoko: She sobs for a minute, then wipes her tears away with her fists. "I... I'm okay. I just... I can't and they're..."

Well, long story short. She got kidnapped by demons. They gave her something that aged her.

DD: She has a sad look on her face as she goes over and hugs her. "There, there... Everything with be alright..." She rubs her back to comfort her.

Wow, when did that happen?

Momoko: She wipes her tears away with angry fists, angry at the gods, and that she can't swim, angry at everything. And sad. Very sad. "DD-chan, we-we have to help people out of here! We have to--" she cries a little harder, choking for a moment, and then calming down. "S-sorry. Is Gurin-can alright?"

Around a month ago~

DD: A look of sorrow appears on her face for a few moments, but it quickly goes away. "Yes... He's fine..." She stands with a brave look. "Deli! Now, let's see if we can help!"

Yeah, but they're a b cup at best.

DD: She places a comforting hand on Momoko's shoulder. "You don't need to swim to help, deli! They are plenty of people who needs recusing from under ruble!" She gives a warming grin. "Deli, deli! And I know you have the strength for that, Momo-chan!"

They'll get bigger, eventually.

Momoko: "Oh! OKAY! You fired me up!" She pumped her fist into the air. "I'm coming guys I'm coming! Oh by the way, what are you going to do now that we can't live in Ice Bay anymore? Are you going to open another ice cream shop?"

Momoko: "Okay! Let's get to work!" She runs with her to the dryer areas where people are buried.
