_{[Wow.]

[That Vulpix on the screen sure looks pissed.]

[The ironic presence of the happy leftover Christmas lights behind it doesn't help.]

[A heavy sigh sounds from off-camera.]}

Man.

Leave it to her to get one last dig in just when I thought it was over.

_{[But Heather apparently isn't gonna elaborate on who 'her' is... though anyone who witnessed Heather's fiery freakout over the summer and knew what it was about might have a decent guess.]

[The camera just shifts as she gets up-- it lingers briefly on what looks like a box filled with crumpled wrapping paper-- in the middle of it sit two large eggs.]}

Hopefully the other living presents we got this year'll be friendlier.

_{[She turns the camera around at last and sort of regards it for a moment, chewing absent-mindedly on her lip. She's got a big wooly winter hat on, so either she just got in or she's about to go out. Probably the latter.]}

... Screw this year, man. Bring on the new one.

_{[HAPPY NEW YEAR ERRYBODY.]}

[ooc: ANYONE IN SAFFRON CITY IS FREE TO RUN INTO HEATHER, or assume she randomly stopped by wherever they are.]

I don't know, I think a few have before.

Your mother and I did find a baby on the side of the road once.

_{[As true as it is, she looks down with a quiet, wry laugh.]}

Yeah... and look how that turned out...

[Aw Heather... You just get a soft smile in return.]

Pretty well, all things considered.

_{[She looks back up with a bittersweet smile.]}

... I guess if you think so, I can't really argue, huh?

_{[Considering he's the one who didn't survive...]}

There you go.

[Even beyond dying, he's had years to wonder what would have happened if they hadn't found the baby. What his life would have been like if he didn't spend years in hiding from a cult, etc... and in the end he always comes to the same conclusion. They would have picked her up anyway.]
