[Nestled up in his and Ren's room, with his conspiracy wall proudly on display off to the side, Akechi addresses the Pearl with a fluffy blanket wrapped around him. No, it is not cute. Hush.]

Recently, Furfrou went missing. Odile-san, Dolly-san, and I went out to rescue them, and I noticed something all too familiar.

[He draws a breath, slow and soft.]

Whilst we were searching, the intrusive thought, 'They're going to leave me behind!' crept into my mind, and presumably those of my teammates. Moreover, we found Furfrou unconscious, just as what happened before with Zweilous and Phantump.

Given the pattern, I'm certain other groups experienced similar events. I believe it worth sharing our findings, so we can better document this phenomenon and perhaps gain a better understanding.

Those intrusive thoughts in particular seem worthy of cataloguing. It's hardly the first time they've arisen on missions.

Oh...

[ He knows about Corviknight, doesn't he? But the only thread that comes when he tugs on it is, unfortunately, a bit more recent than he wanted. ]

They are native to Galar! I knew a man from there - the only other person in Hisui who could speak Galarian with me!

[truthdecided]

Do Unova and Galar share a language, then?

[He'd heard bits and pieces about Unova from Emmet. Perhaps they're analogous to regions in his own world...]

[offtracks]

More or less! There are differences, apparently.

[ But Laventon thinks more about those things than Ingo himself! He's no longer terribly sure if what he speaks even is proper Unovan anymore; he went so long without using it. ]

[truthdecided]

That's not surprising. American English and British English have their own subtle differences as well, particularly where certain spellings are concerned.

[offtracks]

I suppose it's only natural as languages spread. Our dialect in Hisui is distinct from Johto, and even more so from Kanto or Hoenn - more so as you move farther south.

[ Are Unova and Galar near one another...? He really has no idea. ]

[truthdecided]

Japan isn't too dissimilar. For instance, the Kansai dialect is very distinct compared to the dialect in Tokyo.

[Perhaps it's simply a natural result of regional differences and customs. He's no linguist, but it's interesting all the same.]
