imagine a worst ending for your muse that DOESN'T involve death, neither theirs or their loved one's. what would it be? would they accept it or fight it? would they blame themselves for that?

there's a couple of ways that could go, depending on if satoshi's the only one affected or not. like, the worst timeline for satoshi overall would just be anything that prevents him from interacting with pokémon ; so long as he has pokémon by his side, he can recover from any kind of set-back or loss, can accept any kind of path that fate has chucked him onto. apart from anything dramatic, like getting isekaid into a world without pokémon, his & otherwise, or being torn from pokémon in any other way, the only truly bad for satoshi ending would be anything that results in isolating himself from others further than he already unconsciously does. having his faith in humanity tested to a cracking point. growing more paranoid & less trusting. the thing about satoshi is that, unless it has to do with potential severing of bonds with pokémon, he adapts very easily & doesn't waste time on blame-games because they're unproductive & he just has to keep moving forward. unless it interfered with his ability to have battles & thrive in community with pokémon, he would not fight it unless kicked into fighting it by an external source, & even that might take a lot of pushing & pulling.
