Summary
He pushed himself up with his hands, blinked his eyes open, then immediately had to close them again and squint through the tiny slits they had become.
No sooner had he done that than his chest began to move in and out suddenly. Breathing. You knew about this one. He was doing it very quickly, in a way that couldn’t be good for him. His eyes kept trying to go wide, but you were so bright and so all-consuming that he had to close them again every time, even though the absolute terror in him kept the cycle perpetuating. He was making a sound you associated more with dying animals than with humans, who when they were dying felt that they needed to preserve their dignity, which was baffling, as they weren’t likely to have any since most of them voided their bowels shortly after death.
”No,” he was murmuring, in a tortured-sounding way. “No, no, no.”

When John Murphy died, he brought something back with him.

Summary
He was pressing so hard against the spider silk that you could see his skin was turning white — whiter than it was already, anyway — with the force of it.
“Doesn’t matter what you were going to do,” he growled at you. “It’s not your fucking situation to go poking your nose into. We’re not hurting anyone.”
Not yet, you knew your superiors would say. You knew it so surely that you could almost hear it from behind you. You wouldn’t have been surprised to turn around and find they had secretly accompanied you. You said, instead, “You’re dangerous. You’re a liability. If you wanted, you could hurt a lot of people.”
The mandrake Volo, inside of which the god Giratina sleeps, is a danger to the public. That’s why you’ve been tasked with bringing him in.
Or at least that’s what you were told.

Summary
It was easy to see that Volo's head was spinning, having absorbed Giratina's melancholy monologue. He said, "You were... jealous of Togepi?"
He must have been expecting Giratina to take it back, embarrassed, but it was so destitute and heartbroken that it nodded, fresh tears spilling down its face, and squeaked out, "Yes."
Volo said, faintly, "Oh."
"It didn't even have to be a kiss," Giratina went on. "It could have been anything. I would have taken a pat on the head. I just wanted you to be proud of me, Volo, 'cause no one's ever been proud of me before, and I thought if I did everything you asked maybe you might be."
Giratina and Volo have a heart-to-heart after the final battle at the Temple of Sinnoh.

Oh, the weather outside is frightful … but getting a tongue bath from an enormous dragon you retrieved from an alternate dimension because you have the same convictions and the same hatred for God and are thus bonded to each other for the rest of eternity is so delightful…
Or: Volo, doing Survey Corps work as a form of community service for the trouble he’s caused, sees Akari as what she is — just a kid — and puts himself in danger instead.

Summary
She had been sending herself into hysterics, but froze at Ingo's hand gently taking her shoulder. Somewhere along the way he had stood from his chair and she hadn't even noticed; now he was giving her the same sort of look he had in Hisui when something had needed doing and they were the only ones who could do it.
Behind him, Emmet was pushing the sleeves of his white button-down up. He appeared manic — his smile was now more of a Stepford smile than any genuine expression of happiness or joy. "So we will go see this Volo person," he was saying. "And we will get to the bottom of this. And I will tell Volo exactly what I think of him taking my brother away from me. Yes. Very good. It's feeling verrry hot in here!"
*
Akari sees Volo in the one safe place she had from him: the present.
