A Promise at Dawn
The first light of morning touches the shores of Alola.
Mallow stands quietly, watching the sun rise over the ocean. The world feels different now… lighter somehow.
The memories are still there.
The warmth too.
But the pain no longer weighs the same.
A gentle breeze moves through her hair as she closes her eyes for a moment, holding onto that feeling.
Not sadness.
Not loss.
But something softer.
Something that stays.
And as the sun rises higher into the sky…
Mallow smiles.
Because she knows—
She’s not alone.
Not anymore.
