Eleanor listened in an attempt to pretend that she didn't already know, the last thing she wanted to do was scare him away, "My father abandoned us when I was 5 and I never knew my mom. I know that she was an amazing psychic and that she passed away shortly after my birth but nobody ever told me how, though I have my suspicions it had to do with complications during my labor" she shared feeling she at least owed Eric her story.
"My brother, Franklin, he raised me and served as protector of the town, along side his Golett, the very same Golurk I now have with me. Besides Missy he was all I had, it's been 3 years since he was killed and it's been 3 years I've been hunting down my father, I haven't had much interaction beyond the Pokemon I've managed to capture and train"
She looked at Eric needing to get something off her chest "We had no money to speak of, we relied on the generosity of the rest of the town, always bringing us food and other gifts, we never lacked for anything. I repaid their kindness only with tricks and pranks lashing out for the parents I had lost. I twisted my brothers teachings as a spiritual medium and tought myself how to use my psychic gifts to get everything I wanted and to spite those who tried to stop me" she confessed as she looked away in shame.
"This is how I've been getting by these past 3 years, I never gave a second thought to those I was taking from, my unbridled anger had left me cold and unfeeling." She looked back up at Eric fearing she had perhaps shared too much.
"I realize now thanks to you and your wife that it doesn't have to be that way, that my gift could instead be used to help people, and I'm willing to do whatever it takes to make things right, starting with those that never stopped helping me even as I lashed out at them for something they had no part in," she said as she looked deep into Eric's eyes longingly before turning away no longer able to take it, she was certain he would hate her for her crimes "...I understand if you no longer wish to travel with me, I only ask that you let me attempt to redeem myself"
