Lavinia Kingchester

...Come to think of it, Lavinia seems to have disappeared, too. Both her and Freya are currently MIA...

first for a change. Go find that self-righteous, family-claiming, energy drink weirdo. She'll figure something out."

...Lavinia clearly still thinks poorly of Willow for that whole bit of nominating herself as the aunt of people who basically know nothing about her.

"...As much of an unlikable person as my sister can be,"

Okay, ouch, don't just come out and say it that directly.

"I guess this isn't entirely her fault."

...Still partially, huh?

"...But I still need to find Freya, okay? I can't just abandon her. Somebody has to put somebody other than Reina-

"...Mind Control?"

...It says a lot about Reina that the people who are actually critical of her instead of bending over backwards for her saw this as completely on brand for her.

"...If that's the case, that thing certainly knew who to control that could deceive any sane person."

"...This whole family changed for the worse, in case you haven't noticed."

That photo only served to remind Lavinia of something that was long gone and would never come back.

Blink.

"...What the hell kind of nightmare creature did she take instead of you?"

There's... Really going to be no mercy from Lavinia whatsoever, will there? If course she can see that something is wrong, but she just sees it as an escalation of things that were already wrong with Reina.

"...Reina changed for the worse when she went through that door. She thought thousands of years had passed. Thousands of years without you or the rest of her Pokemon. She had plenty of time to grow away from you. All that's left of her are her worst qualities. The Reina you originally met is gone."-

Lavinia was about to just walk off. If Ogerpon is as stubborn as Reina, then Lavinia isn't going to waste anymore time on her.

...But that voice...

"...See? She abandoned you to go destroy buildings with a dragon. I don't even know why she bothered talking to me."

"...There's nothing we can do for somebody like Reina. Just go back to your balls, and I'll help you all find somewhere else to be after I find out where Freya disappeared to."

"...She transferred all of you to me after completing disregarding the input she asked me for. Whatever happened after she went through that door, she's a worse person than ever."

And Lavinia hasn't even watched the news...

"...Reina abandoned you and the others. Get back to your ball until I've found Freya."

Lavinia doesn't have the patience for this right now...

"...So this is the behavior of Pokemon raised by Reina. Why am I not surprised?"

As if Lavinia didn't have enough to deal with.

"Apologize to the hospital staff and behave yourself before I let somebody wrangle you up."

Lavinia's looking everywhere for Freya.

How did she just disappear?!

Blink.

...Rubbing her eyes.

Blink.

...Checking the room number.

"...I was only in the waiting room for a brief nap. Where did Freya go?"

...

"Where did Freya go?!"

"...It's okay, Freya. We're all done. There's nothing left we can do. Just rest and focus on yourself."

...Lavinia's still just giving up, huh?

"Call Wendy before the nurses sedate you and restrain you to the bed. You're obviously a fall risk and shouldn't be out of bed unassisted anyway."

...Lavinia's not going to let anybody else throw their lives away for this.

"...You're too injured to be doing anything but calling Wendy and making her prove herself. I'm not enabling you to go out there on a suicide mission yourself."

Lavinia has no intention of using any of Reina's Pokemon, even if they would listen to her. She's just hitting the call button again.-

can't abandon her for a wild goose chase. ...If you want results, make Wendy be useful for once. She's the one with a talent for twisting Reina into doing things, nobody else."

her. Like I said. When that girl makes up her mind, it's the only option she'll entertain. I hate it, but I can't do anything about it. There's no saving her if she doesn't want to be saved."

...This isn't out of a lack of care. Lavinia's just... Defeated.

"...I still have Freya to worry about. I-

into a vegetable, sedated and hooked up to countless IVs for the rest of her life. And what would be the difference at that point?"

...Lavinia's completely hopeless here.

"...Not every way she could end herself would be violent. It could be as simple as refusing to eat if we manage to restrain-

Lavinia's just... Rolling her eyes. Not a good sign.

"And what do you think I can do about that? If she's made up her mind, then obviously she's going to find a way to make it happen. It sucks, but I can't save her from herself. She won't let anybody do that. The only thing we could do is turn her-

my neck out for that selfish brat anymore."

a pure, flawless, sad little victim who can do no wrong."

...Lavinia's clearly not going to cut Reina any slack.

"She asked for my input. I gave it. She threw it in my face. I can't do anything for her when she's just going to brush it off and do whatever she wants like always. I'm not sticking-

claims about siblings bullying her might have just been her getting her just desserts for shitty behavior back then. Because frankly, it looks like that man and some of us siblings are the only people in this world who aren't contorting ourselves to find some trick of the light that paints Reina as-

"I'm not sending those Pokemon back to that trainwreck. They deserve better."

Oof.

"Something isn't right? Yeah, guess what? That's always been the case with Reina. She acts out, gives some sob story, and people bend over backwards to enable her bad behavior. Hell, I'm starting to wonder if her-

whatever she wants. At least it looks like most of her Pokemon won't need to suffer through her bullshit anymore."

...Wow. Lavinia was giving Reina some tough love earlier, but now it sounds like she's completely done with Reina's behavior.

follow whatever I thought was right since her fight for freedom keeps doing damage. I tell her to rest until she calms down, and she immediately does this. She proved Celia and I right. That girl never changes. She says whatever sounds convenient in the moment, but she still only ever does-

"...Oh no. Anyway."

Lavinia can't bring herself to care about anything happening to any Kingchester adjacent facilities.

"She was doing her usual crybaby act. She claims to have been hearing voices telling her how much the family hates her, how much she's better off dead. She told me that she'd-

"I don't know what she thinks she's doing, but she's a danger to herself and everybody around her."

...Lavinia will just hit the call light button. She's been carrying people enough already. The nurses can handle this.

"...I'm going to break this phone if it doesn't stop giving me so many notifications."

...It's all for the Pokemon Box app? What the h-

...

"...I told that dumbass to rest. ...Fuck it. If she's just going to make herself an easy target, then I hope that man gets this over with fast."
