Wafu: it's you... I didn't think I'd see you again.

It was a Primarina, the same Primarina from the beach and helped her sing.

Primarina: how's your back? Has it healed yet?

Wafu: nngh! It still hurts a little- OW!!

Primarina: oh my... then how about we just chat a bit until you feel better?

Wafu carfully sit down next to Primarina, they then look at the full moon.

Primarina: did you know that the full moon looks different depending on the Region you are?

Wafu: now that you mention it... it does look a bit different.

Primarina: in Kanto, some say they can see a Pikachu on it. In Janto, most say they see a Togepi.

Wafu: heh, you know a lot, don't you?

Primarina: what does Alola's moon look like to you?

Wafu: dunno...

There was a brief silence but the clashing wave and small wind.

Wafu: why did you do that?

Primarina: do what?

Wafu: last time I met you... why did you thank me? You are the first female ever to thank you to me. All the others would either bawl hysterically, or go crazy in a fit of rage. I knew the meaning of those words already... I just... never expected them to be said to me.

Suddenly, his heart started beating, he touched his chest to see what's wrong.

Primarina: is something wrong?

Wafu: I'm not sure. My chest... it feels... weird. It's been that way since then.

Primarina: I'm sure that's simply your heart feeling happy.

Wafu: my heart? What are you talking about, how could an organ feel happy?

Primarina: heheh... no quite like that. Whenever your sad, don't you feel like your chest is hurting?

Wafu: not really.

Primarina: then how about warm feelings inside you when you're enjoying yourself?

Wafu: never happened.

Primarina: when others compliment you.

Wafu: no one does.

Primarina: or when you feel the love of your parents.

Wafu: I don't have parents. Expected for my brother, but we don't get along well.

Primarina: or when you're playing with your friends.

Wafu: never had one.

Primarina: why?

Wafu: it means I don't have a heart.

Primarina: *nervous* oh... so, then...

Wafu: I see now. I don't understand very well but until now... all I've ever done is hurt others. That heart you're talking about... I guess it's supposed to feel pain while doing those things, right?

Primarina: n-no that's not-

Wafu: but there is one thing I do understand. *evil smile* I don't need a heart.

Primarina became sad, not because of she didn't find him nice, but because he didn't have a good childhood.

Primarina: one last question, then... have you... ever cried?

He looked at Primarina and back at the ocean.

Wafu: just once. I cried, but it wasn't like the first cry of a baby born. When I can out of my egg...
