He was heading home after a long day of work at his office at the Rust Syndicate when suddenly he heard crying from an alleyway. He looked around to see if he could spot anyone or a Pokémon. That's when he saw a young woman, probably the same age as him, crying and scared. He quietly approached her so he wouldn't startle her, then sat down and tried to comfort her.

"Hey, what's wrong? What are you doing out in this alleyway all by yourself on this harsh winter night?" He softly asks her as he tries to calm her.
