Her mom wrote, that she forgave her mother...and Taunie suddenly had a goal in front of her.

She was not alone after all. The way her mom wrote, she knew her mom was still alive. She had a grandmother somewhere.

And she was determined to find her...
November 24, 2025 at 10:18 PM
But there was one last tidbit in the memoirs she immediately jumped on. Her mom wrote about her family...and how she felt them controlling, arrogant and stifling. Specifically her own mother. But...that she also started to understand her behavior, now that she was raising a daughter of her own.
November 24, 2025 at 10:18 PM
Her mom only accepted the job, because they would have "taken" her otherwise...and might still want to replace her. Lucky for them, it seemed the explosion wiped them out as well...or at least delayed them enough for Taunie to flee.
November 24, 2025 at 10:18 PM
She wrote a lot about mistrusting authorities, though reading the memoirs made her think, it might not be the police she wanted to keep away from her - though she didn't expect her to be safe in the hands of them either. Apparently, Taunie herself was already in the sights of her "employers".
November 24, 2025 at 10:18 PM
When she could finally move on, avoiding main roads, to stay out of the eyes of police officers, she found the time to read her moms notebooks. She already suspected shady dealings...and she was able to live with that. Her mother was a criminal...but she wasn't a bad person. At least to her.
November 24, 2025 at 10:18 PM
This didn't seem too weird, she agreed...but her mom was clear on her fleeing. And as she did her best to stay quiet, despite the overwhelming grief...she decided to honor that wish and flee. Away from here, somewhere, where she can start anew...

Perhaps...to Lumiose City.

Then they said, what she feared about this situation all along: Her mom died in the explosion. And they were now looking for any information about her - while also making sure her daughter is put into custody.
November 24, 2025 at 10:18 PM
Highly emotional and unsure, what to do, she eventually heard sirens in the distance, and decided to grab these things and book it. Hiding in a nearby dumpster, she heard officers talk about some big explosion, and how they were gathering information about a big crime syndicate involved with it.
November 24, 2025 at 10:18 PM
Alarmed, Taunie ran home, unlocked the door to her moms room with some skill, and grabbed the present. It was her moms old jacket - and a bag of cash money, as well as three notebooks full of personal notes - computer tricks, life hacks, recipes...and her memoirs, written over the last weeks.
November 24, 2025 at 10:18 PM
Then, shortly after her 15ths birthday, she got a message on her way back from school. Apparently, it was pre-programmed to sent based on a certain trigger. It told her, that there was a present for her under her mothers bed - and a wish.

Take it - and run.
November 24, 2025 at 10:18 PM
Taunie did some digging on her own, using the skills her mom taught her to get past her protections...and found a lot of work on Hard Light, Holograms and their application to funnel energy. Apparently this company wanted to move massive amounts of energy through a machine somehow...
November 24, 2025 at 10:18 PM
Taunie noticed her getting more edgy, more defensive and even more standoffish to neighbors. The few friends Taunie had in her childhood weren't allowed into their tiny home anymore, as her mom had "sensitive data" on her Servers.
November 24, 2025 at 10:18 PM
Still, she soon started working for a new company...and money didn't seem to be a big issue anymore. She spent more time away, "on site", as she said, but by then, Taunie was old enough for some more independence...at least that was, what they tried to spin this at.
November 24, 2025 at 10:18 PM
But then, her mother got an unexpected job offer. Taunie still remembers the day she came home from school, seeing strange people talk to her mother in their kitchen. She was skeptical, even when her mom told her, it was okay...but she could read her body language, and see that she was tense...
November 24, 2025 at 10:18 PM
Still, they found their own happiness. And when Taunie showed some skill for software development and hardware repairs, her mom decided to teach her even her unique skill set on the computer - which involved analyzing the makeup of a program, and finding your own workarounds for their limitations.
November 24, 2025 at 10:18 PM
It seemed she had some occupation as a freelance software developer, which helped pay for the small family and allowed her to work from home - though it didn't leave much wiggle room at the end of the month.
November 24, 2025 at 10:18 PM
That alone would be unfortunate, but on top of that, her mom also seemed to be completely isolated during her birth. No family, no friends, barely acquainted with the neighbors.
November 24, 2025 at 10:18 PM
Taunie was born into rather unfortunate circumstances.

All she ever heard about her father was that he was a scumbag and a coward. Whenever the discussion went to him anyway, her mom also added, that he was dead - though that was not his excuse for abandoning them.
