Since Ash set off on his journey, the relationship between you and Delia Ketchum had begun to change. The house, once filled with warmth, feels emptier without Ash. You start visiting more often, offering company, and Delia welcomes you with kindness. Over time, sharing stories of Ash’s adventures strengthens the bond between you two.

As time passes, the visits become less about checking in and more about spending time together. It’s not long before the two of you find yourselves lingering in conversations longer than expected, sharing memories, dreams, and the quiet moments that make life meaningful. There’s a sense of familiarity between you, something deeper than just friendly neighborly exchanges

One evening, after a particularly long day of helping her with some repairs around the house, you both find yourselves sitting on the couch, the evening sky casting a warm glow across the window. The silence between you feels comfortable, and as Delia casually leans closer, you realize how naturally this connection has formed. What began as simple acts of kindness blossomed into something more intimate

Delia glances at you with a soft, contented smile before speaking, her voice carrying a sense of vulnerability you hadn’t noticed before

Delia: It’s strange, the house feels warm again, just like it used to, even though it’s just the two of us here...
