[he seems to take his time thinking on that. was the digital world better? they never really had shelter or food, they'd fought so many digimon, and they'd lost so many friends. they fought each other sometimes, too, and they never seemed to find answers until it was almost too late.
that was the same even now back home, right up until they came here.
but...]
...in a way? Yeah. It was. I wouldn't change anything about how that first adventure went.
[but he does reach into his pocket then, pulling something out before handing it to claude. it's a photo? hm.]
It wasn't our last adventure either, but it just meant we knew a little more than we did before.
Yeah. That's from the end of our first time there. [tapping on agumon's face.] They didn't look like this at first, but when we got there they found us. They said they'd been waiting for us for a long time because we were partners. They just knew.
[sometimes a bouncing pink head tells you they've been waiting their whole life for you and you just kinda go "this may as well happen."]
Yeah. [...oh! he's also reaching into his pocket again. claude's just getting all sorts of lore today whether he wants it or not, but he's pulling out a small silver device to show him.]
They needed us to get stronger. And we needed them to survive. As long as we're together we can help them evolve. [so yeah. it's a bond thing which is close enough to a soulmate, he thinks.]
It feels a little callous to say it's been worth it when people have died.
But I won't deny there have been some good moments. It's kind of heartening to see how deeply people care about each other here, when we've only known each other a handful of weeks.
Of course it's callous. But at the same time I don't know if I could totally disagree either. None of this should have happened, but at the same time it's kind of amazing to see what people will do when they're up against something they can't see.
You've found other people you care about, haven't you?
I try to be, I guess. We don't always have time to come up with a plan, but even when we don't the actions we take usually turn out fine...
[...usually.]
But good to know. The dorm still needs someone like that. [because some of the springles are messes and spoon if claude is dead this week i will destroy you actually.]

That's a colourful crew. These are your friends and your... Digimon partners? How did you know who your partner was, by the way?

[ This word probably doesn't exist in ye olde, but whatever. ]
I guess the relationship you made, made the hardships worth it. [ ... ] I wonder how many of us would say the same thing about this place.

What do you think, Claude? Has anything been worth being in this place?

It's hard not to when you witness people breaking down from grief, wouldn't you say?
no subject
...yeah, no, I would agree with that. Even if you don't always know what to say it's still a better alternative than just leaving them alone, I think.

You ever think that's why we were initially matched with Chad? [it's also kind of dry, but. for real.]

...on the one hand, I should feel insulted. On the other, I'm not even sure if that's totally wrong. Should we be insulted?

[ Remember him like this, Taichi. Bright and reliable against all odds. Ready to defend his fellow dorm mates.
Enjoy this final memory. ]

It's not just me, you know. Make sure they know they can count on you, too.
[but with that...]
I should get going. I'll see you later?
