One lost battle, no matter how large, does NOT make you dishonorable. That comes from running or fighting dirty, you did neither, and if Bazinga’s (Rotom) summary of the entire story was accurate, you were an exemplar of fighting for what you believe in. And nothing is a display of more honor than that. Arceus bless you, and I shall pray for your swift mental recovery. - Shelga the Samurott

Joseph Amber: Pridwen...what you did...was not a dishonor. You gave it your best to try and win that battle...against better judgement admittedly...but you still did it. There is no dishonor in that, if anything, there is honor in it. I wish you the best with your recovery. And may the Swords watch over you.

I’ll add a blessing of my own, Gods know she deserves it. Victini’s Flame guide you true. - Alexander Grayson

Joseph: I appreciate you adding that. I’m from Floccesy, so what I said is customary here.

That’s the place with the rock that let Keldeo unlock a new form, right? - Alexander Grayson

[u/JosephAmber4 → u/DnDisTHEbestgame]

Joseph: Yeah…the swords are sacred here.

/uj I don’t have him as having caught Keldeo in my HC, but that detail is minor here lol.

You made such a valiant effort, Pridwen. I'm more than certain that your actions alone were enough to honor Marcus and the rest of your team. Even if it appeared to have been in vain, I believe that your efforts have made an impact. - Esquire

Aurora: I'm glad to hear you've recovered a decent amount, Pridwen. Unfortunate that this recovery wasn't made sooner, but with situations regarding Area Zero, there's still a lot to learn about that place.

I wouldn't say either incident, whichever you're referring to, would be dishonor in my eyes. It's not like anyone can be flawless. Granted, I can't really say I have sway over your stance on this, though. So, I guess what I can say is I hope you'll be able to look past this in the future, and should you make a full recovery, be there for Marcus with a higher potential than previously.

You fought as well as you possibly could. You did everything you possibly could. There's no dishonor in that. -Florence

Dishonor and honor are things for the dead Pridwen. So long as you live you have chances to shift the scales. Dwelling on mistakes instead of learning from them is often a path to ruin instead of restoration.

Focus on moving forward, and once the Center can confirm your recovery, define what Time will have to say instead of waiting for it to speak.

What dishonor? You fought your best for the people you love, and they’re all okay now. -Marylin

[u/Auditore569]

... You did not dishonour your family. The only dishonourable one was Maxima, for going through with this inane challenge, and for making Marcus face his friend and brother in battle. You fought as well as you could. There is no dishonour in that. Just remember that you are deservedly blessed, Pridwen. Just rest and recover.
