[He ignores the Sylveon as best he can. This isn't a matter for Pokemon, it's a matter for them.]

After I killed you. You kept haunting me, berating me, telling me things that I already knew. So just disappear again! I don't need you here. I don't need any of you here. I don't need phantoms.

[Even if he can't see them, they're still haunting his every move. He's trying to build a new life, he's trying to make a new place for himself, but he can't get away from the occasional phantom. They're not as bad anymore, but still... there are sleepless nights where he can't relax for fear of Takatora appearing again.]

[Isamu puts a hand on Mitsuzane's shoulder, and he shakes slightly. He doesn't need him. He doesn't need anyone.]
