Can't Really Walk
Looking at her, he'd never have guessed she was a paraplegic. She'd run from captivity. She'd run until her legs shook but she'd run and she'd made it to him, to safety.
And now she was standing bravely, not even a tremor in the wind. Standing - and walking ever closer to the edge of that cliff and she wasn't even scared. Wasn't scared because there was a bond between the two of them - Rei and Neo - that he, Taichi, couldn't see (and he was a little jealous when all the pieces came together because he was far from that, just the knight in shining armour and a girl who can't walk but can...well, do they really need a knight in shining armour?).
And she was captivating like that. Strong. Brave. Impossible but that was the digital world. Turning her into an angel because it could, and it would catch her when she fell as well. Or she'd sprout wings. It wouldn't surprise him if she sprouted wings. After all, she couldn't walk but she did and even walked to certain death that only the digital world, if it cared to, could prevent.
