Kee and Octavia ran and ran, there was nothing that might stop those two, any obstacles on the way auto-fail, too strong were Kee's sheer EAGER, DETERMINATION and HOPE.

That is, nothing BUT  The Alpha, The Original One, The Creator themselves, and Kee looks incredibly HAPPY to see them, taking them as some sort of caretaker of this place and as the one who'll lead him into heaven - sounds crazy, is probably crazy, but it doesn't matter much to the coloful musician. He goes so far to even wave at Arceus and return their gaze with a smile of his own as THEY look down on them all, Octavia also chirps at THEM kindly

Towards THEIR words, Kee has very mixed feelings, party of him is DEVASTED to the VERY core that this wasn't the afterlife, another part of him grew EXCITED and THRILLED TO BITS as ARCEUS revealed that he DID perish. "No... mortal allowed at this place....", he mutters more to himself than to the others, and following Rui's example Kee picked up Octavia with utmost affection to hold her close, she reciprocated again - and it's TRUE, neither of them could make out any heartbeat or pulse. "So... 'T is as ya say, me and Octavia became... spirits? Even in death....we're with one another...." More sobbing, more cuddled between punk-musician and fairy-companion, more quick wiping of his eyes, but by now Kee can't hold back anymore, his tears are tears out of morbid joy, grim finality, and a sense of hope and anticipation.



Though while at first Karen, then Ran stepped forward and brought their respective Plates to The Creator, Kee was hesitant, gave ARCEUS a timid and careful look. "A..... ARCEUS....", he adressed THEM and wiped away some last(?) tears, "'T is right that I picked up a fine 'n precious Toxic Plate at tha underground lake where that Dragonair 'n Dratini dwell... BUT... " He looks up at THEM, with a sad smile. "Hear me out at first b'fore I shall let ya 'ave what is originally yars."

Kee sighs heavily, but his smiles does not fade at all. He fails to remain eye contact with THEM as he issues what is bothering him, what is making his now dead yet still affectionate and tender heart weight triple as much.

"Ya're sayin'... That we do not HAVE t'remain that way, with 'that way' being 'bein spirits n dead'. With those Plates ya'll be able t'turn time briefly back 'n alter reality...." He looks sceptical and sad, but his smile STILL remains unchanged. "Thought what if... WHAT IF I'M NOT AT ALL C'ERTAIN WHETHER I WANT THAT?????" NOW he finally makes it to face ARCEUS once more, but simultaneously he fails not to cry again.

Despite in tears, he continues, his voice full of sadness, confusion and indecision, but not rage nor anger, no. "Now, right here 'n right now, somethin' occured that I ALWAYS LONGED FOR all silently, which is death with a followin' ascension into heaven WITHOUT me endin' things mahself!!! Tempting 't was indeed, but NEVER did I take tha step to overdose on sleepin' pills 'n then slit mah wrist, I HELD ON 'n LIVED ON, for mahself, for mah Pokemon, for tha sake of LIVING! But ya know what, I NEVER got over tha death of mah parents, NEVER over tha demise of mah dearest and loving grandpa that raised me like their own son, and in tha dimension I've been magic'd into I don't even know whether mah dear grandma exists, though NOW by bein'dead I'm havin' tha opportunity to MEET 'em AGAIN and BE WITH 'EM AGAIN, for an ETERNITY even!!!1!111!!" Kee staggers, falls onto his knees, pets Octavia who nuzzles him, and looks plain weak and horrible. "I don't.... want to... go back... I DON'T WANNA BE SO F#CKIN' ALONE ANYMORE, I don't, I'm SO sick of it!11!!!!11!1"


For a solid minute or, Kee just cries, cries bitter tears that he can't hold back, and he pets and cuddles Octavia the whole time as he does so. The sparkling faeeveelution does her best to comfort and console her most beloved person in the world via humming in her disarming voice to him.


"But... BUT!!! But if I choose tha path of death 'n being reunited with mum, dad 'n gramps, I'll..... I'LL....!! I'll LOOSE Ran, Karen, Rui n' Kogeki here, won't I, Arceus? I WILL, right? But... I DON'T WANNA BE SEPERATE FROM THEM NEITHER!!!" More crying, more sobbing, Kee's appearanly completely loosing it now.


"Arceus, ARCEUS, CREATOR, ALPHA, ORIGINAL ONE, what shall I do, how shall I choose, which way shall I go, I DON'T. FREAKIN'. KNOW!!!"

He seems to hope for hints or advice from ARCEUS, as he himself is EXTREMELY indecisively.
