With how hard it is for Ark to keep his composure when Opal shows him affection, I can only imagine how much harder it would be for Dusknoir.
This tiny, vulnerable child, not any bigger that his hand is trusting him to keep her close, safe and comforted.
Him, the man who almost ended the world.
The man who was hunting her mother and nearly killed her on more than one occasion.
The man who had betrayed everyone.
This child is putting her full faith in him of all people.
She doesn't deserve him. He already hurt her so much, before she was even born.
Opal put Dusknoir in a coma with just two words. Twig, meanwhile, struggles to cover her tail when it comes to explaining why her small child looked at him and immediately clocked him as a grandfather.
(She’s been jokingly referring to Dusknoir as Opal’s grandpa whenever they’re alone and she’s chatting with her. Opal connected the dots that this mysterious Grandpa character and Dusknoir were one and the same and was excited to make this discovery known.)
(Celebi will never let this memory fade and brings it up at every get-together. Twig always gets defensive and huffy and Dusknoir starts tearing up without fail.)
yeah sorry about your boyfriend he walked into a monster house room in PMD. yeah he did see all the items on the map but he still walked into the room anyway. no he's not surviving this. sorry
