Poor Hector, he did everything to make sure his friend stayed alive only to find out that even though he was physically alive mentally he was still dead.

Helios is not to blame for being insensitive, since he doesn't know anyone well enough to know if he is really acting badly or is going to hurt someone.

I hope that they can understand each other in some way, maybe his memory will come back with some stimulus, but if the hug didn't help it's hard to say what would. And the real use of a Croconaw and a Charmeleon with a giant eggplant makes less and less sense with the story hahahahahaha, anyway it's very nice to follow.

I appreciate your comment! I won't spoil too much, but Hector has a long way to go before he can even start to reconcile his relationship with Helios. I hope you'll stick around to the end!
