Without even saying a word, Saltriv wrapped a vine around one of Dill's hands. "We'll see each other again. That's a promise," Burhalla said, putting a hand on his best friend's side. "...Yeah. We will," Saltriv replied, a smile on their face through the tears.

After hugging everyone else, Saltriv trotted over to Dill, giving him an extra-big hug. "I know it'll work. We...we'll be together," they said, smiling up at their partner, as tears streamed down their neck, coming to rest on their petals.

Saltriv looked around at the crowd. So many people they'd come to care about. Dave, giving them advice...Owen, fighting on despite everything...Icetales, giving them the strength to evolve...Koa, always fun to talk to...Brisa, a genuine hero...Starr, pledging with them and Shiron, and someone...

Saltriv began trotting away towards their house, renewed hope in their eyes. Dill wasn't going to die again, and they couldn't be happier.

After hugging Dill for a small while, Saltriv begins to let go. "Come on! Let's go tell the others!" they said.

Saltriv smiled brightly, and they hugged their friend tightly. They did it! Dill wasn't going to die! And now he'd share a world with him, and be able to see him all the time! "Yep! We do!" they said their petals releasing a soothing aroma as their tail wagged, and tears of happiness streamed...

A smile began to form on Saltriv's face. There was a way! But... "Are you sure you're okay with that?" Saltriv asked, looking towards Dill. "With...maybe never seeing anyone from your world again?" They truly hoped he'd say yes, but...

"Neighbors? Do...do you mean Dill can be sent to a neighboring world?" Saltriv asked. "And...if Dill is already dead...doesn't that mean that whatever his Hero's Aura was for is finished?"

No. No no no no no! Saltriv suppressed the shadowy wisps around them before they could form into a Shadow Panic, as all their limbs tensed up. "There...there has to be something, right? If that happens...Dill will...and...we'll never see each other again," they pleaded.

Saltriv watched the badge intently, hoping dearly that this would lead to something good.

"Is there any way you could prevent...that from happening to Dill?" Saltriv asked. "I...he doesn't deserve to die. Not like that, after all this."

"Dill...Dill's dead back in his world, and...if he gets sent back normally, he's going to die again," Saltriv said, their leaf drooping as they laid a vine on their Feraligatr friend.

"They're an Overseer, so we have to try!" Saltriv replied.

As things seemed to finally calm down for the most part, Saltriv took a step towards Zygarde. They still needed to help save Dill. "Zygarde, me and Dill need your help!" they said.

"Complete destruction of-" Saltriv's limbs all tensed up, and their eyes widened. The vine they had laid on Dill wrapped around them, and they glanced towards Koa and Brisa. They couldn't let that happen! They wouldn't let that happen! They'd win this battle, no matter what! They had to!

"We're...not getting sent back right now, right?" Saltriv asked, laying a vine on Dill. If they got sent back now...

Saltriv walked over to Dill, looking between Diyem and Zygarde, before turning to their friend. "I...this is..." they stammered, before sighing, their petals beginning to droop.

Last verbal request. So if they kept going like this... Saltriv shuddered. "...let him through," they said with a sad gaze at Dill, their leaf drooping.

That list sounded mostly innocuous, but... "We...we have urgent matters to do soon! We need to stop the Eternal Blacklight!" They protested, trying to keep their tone neutral, though they slipped a few times. They hesitated, then added, "A-are you going to hurt Diyem?"

"Wh-what are you going to do to him?" Saltriv asked, trying their best to suppress any fear, anger, and hostility from their voice, though they nervously glanced over at Dill. He was the only thing standing between Zygarde and Diyem, and if the Zygarde tried to- They didn't want to think about...
