It's at this moment that the Ubird... flyer finally shows up.
"I'm sorry," Akane says to them numbly, touching her stinging cheek like she can hardly believe this just happened. Only it really did. "Can you... come back in a couple hours?"
"I'm charging you twice," the Ubird trainer informs her.
She watches them walk away. Why are her cheeks wet and not just sore?
Oh. She's been crying. Crap. What is she going to do? Connie was her only friend here and she messed it all up. She turns around and punches the telephone pole from before. The dent is definitely wider now. More splinters in her knuckles.
Crap.
After a very long moment, it occurs to Akane that even if she doesn't have any other friends here, Connie does. And she even knows the names of some of them. So, hands shaking, she draws her pokegear out of her bag and attempts to textthem. Maybe one of them will know what to do.
