Curatorial Commentary

The card 'Misty's Tears' captures a tender moment between Misty and a small, comforting Pokémon. Misty gently wipes away a tear, her expression a mix of vulnerability and affection, while the Pokémon looks on with concern. This scene feels intimate, as if it exists in a quiet corner of their world where emotions are shared freely. It evokes a sense of connection and care that resonates deeply.
