"What do you want from me?" Sam asked, not even looking at him.
"You've only heard her side of the story. Don't you want to hear the rest?" Agor asked.
"I want to, but is it going to do me any good?" Sam asked with a tired smile.
"You won't know until you do," Agor smiled. "Follow me. I'll take you somewhere private so we can talk."
Sam stood for a few seconds, then glanced at Trainer Roman, who nodded at him. He then followed Agor.
Trainer Roman watched him go before turning his attention back to the Geist Ferns, muttering the thought that appeared in his mind. "Being the brightest can sometimes leave you alone in the end."
