i am the savior.

“Okay, well. If he don’t have a problem with it, I do. So there.”

There really is no room for argument, huh. Ree whistles, and the doors open. The blond steps inside, only vaguely annoyed by the rain, before clicking their tongue as they head to shady house.

“nahhhh. Cause the minute I leave, you’ll just go off again. We did a buncha renovations. There’s not even any mold anymore.”

' i still would've like it better at the station... ⁱ ᵃˡʷᵃʸˢ ʰᵃᵗᵉᵈ ʷʰᵃᵗ ʸᵒᵘ ⁿᵘᵐᵇˢᵏᵘˡˡˢ ᵈᵒⁿᵉ ʷⁱᵗʰ ᵗʰᵉ ᵖˡᵃᶜᵉ… '

the last bit was barely above a whisper. her attempts on fighting back have finally settled down. she's accepting her fate, but she's not happy about it still.

' but fine, whatever, you can't make me sleep while we're there. so, i'll still win. '

“Btw I got this for you ”

she's holding the doll the doll in one of her hands and playing with the ribbon in between her fingers. her eyes are watering slightly but there are no threat of tears.

' ... but i haven't done anything to deserve a gift.. '

“Does he know you’re running yourself ragged? … I mean, if he does, I don’ really care. I’m not doin this for him.”

The Haunter continues to rock her. Ree’s back looks more and more tired as they move towards the walls that guard Po Town.

“Now can wait for a couple hours. Ya can’t even fight me on that. Not in a million years.”

' i'm not running myself ragged, and he sees me like every other day, he'd stopped me by now if he had a problem with it. '

she readjusts herself so she can look a ree. she's been frowning this whole time, and now she's staring daggers into their back. she's just being cranky, she'll be better whenever she actually gets sleep.

' i could fight you, i could curse you! you can at least take me back to the station and not po town. '

“And you’ll have time. Later.”

Their cane clicks as it hits the pavement. The ghost giggles, swaying Acerola gently as if trying to rock her to sleep.

… Ree’s shoulders are tense. Maybe they’re really tired too.

“If I don’ at least try to make you sleep for two hours I think Nanu will send the cats to haunt me.”

' but i need too NOW. '

she gives up on flailing her arms, settling for crossing them angerily. she's trying her best to stay awake, but man, the rocking is not helping.

' nanu already knows what i'm doing, ree. he knows about the ghost stuff. '

“Hm. Ghost stuff, huh.”

They don’t sound too impressed. They look up at the Haunter, who seems to agree with them. Ree turns on their heel and starts to walk back towards po town — and the Haunter follows, still levitating Acerola with the duo as they walk.

“Well, the ghosts can wait. Let’s get you some shut eye. You can sleep on my top bunk.”

' h-hey- '

she's starting to flail her limbs as the haunter levitates her away. silly acerola, normal attack don't work on ghost types.

' this is no fair! lemme go! i still have things i need to do! '

“Could say the same of you.”

Ree takes a pause, looking at her. Man, she looks like shit.

“You look like shit. When’s the last time you had more’n a nap?”

she shrugs.

' who knows, been busy. ghost stuff still, ya'know? '
