[Rossiu is silent on the ride back. Aside from the way his hands are trembling and a stormy expression, he seems mostly composed. He doesn't waste any time returning to Adaman's room to find Leafeon. What was it Hodaka had said about taking care of a pet...?
"It's nice. I'd recommend trying it. Taking care of something... It can be nice."
...Right. Taking care of something instead of focusing on himself sounds like a good idea. Leafeon needs help too, and Rossiu can at least try to provide that.
For the time being, he focuses on telling Leafeon what transpired and taking one (1) very sad fox to go get food. Thanks to one of Adaman's letters, he at least knows what to feed Leafeon!! You can find them in the restaurant near the back having taken some chairs that weren't used for the memorial service, where Leafeon is sitting in a chair and nibbling on the snacks Rossiu has picked out for him. Rossiu himself looks up when you approach.]
How are you holding up?
[Or, if you're someone Adaman has left a letter for:] Here, Adaman left this for you. [Take your incredibly upsetting deadletter!! Rossiu has not read it, don't worry.
While he won't participate in the memorial service properly, Rossiu and Leafeon will remain for some time, watching the others. Rossiu seems to have settled a bit, though the result is that he's just sort of blank... Well, it's fine, surely.
Eventually, Rossiu finds himself back in Adaman's room. At first he starts cleaning up almost mechanically, as if there's really any point in that. It's something to do with his hands and it feels better to leave the place in somewhat decent shape. Leafeon really did a number on this place so it isn't as though he's going to be able to fix everything up, but he does his best. If you come by now, you're welcome to help?? Maybe don't try to loot the place while he's here.
If you swing by later... you'll find Rossiu is still in here, but this time kneeling before the window, hands clasped in prayer. It's been seven years since he last prayed to anyone, but it only seems appropriate now. You might catch him specifically praying to Almighty Sinnoh, or maybe he'll notice your presence before that.]
...Ah. My apologies, I was just... saying a word for the departed.
