Excited is an understatement. It's been months since Sasha found something she could throw herself into, especially something that could serve as a distraction. With only a couple friends left in this world, she's been inside her own sad head for too long and now needs to be out and about with the rest of humanity. Even if she continues holding people at arm's length to keep them safe (as she's convinced herself), taking care of Pokemon is something she can help with.

"Oh, it's me." A beat before she realizes that's not a very helpful answer and then: "Sasha. It's okay if you don't remember me."
