"I'm fully aware of that-- I've hurt Gladion deeply in the past. He tends to be stubborn and cold however it is up to him whether he wants to forgive me or not."

Her eyes looked downward to the ground, thinking of her boy a bit and regretting for not being the mom that he needed.

"...Right. I wasn't really in the right mind back then. Thankfully, Arceus blessed me with a second chance so I have to make the most of it."

She awkwardly fidgeted with her fingers in the end.

"No more frozen Pokemon, I assure you."

She nodded lightly, her heart ached quite a lot upon recalling those memories and hurting the Pokemon in the most heinous way.

"Right, I met up with Lillie and told me that I have to apologize hence I asked her to set a meet up for us."

Lusamine palmed a small cough, trying to gather her thoughts for a bit.

"I'm back to Aether Foundation. I've been helping the Pokemon and focusing on my personal growth."

"Understood. I'll do everything in my power to not relapse."

Lusamine eventually stood back up, quickly wiped her tears off her eyes and looked at the Champion with a hint of determination. She'll make sure that she'll work hard to earn everyone's trust again even if the road will be rocky.

Her lips quivered in shame and guilt aswell her facial expression being twitchy combined with her eyes blurring with tears.

"I don't expect you to forgive me or give me a chance-- I...I just want to show that I'm no longer the same person from the past."
