"I want a pet."

Yagami Hikari rarely says the words "I want." That's Noriko's bit generally, followed by pleading and bargaining and Hikari smiling like a fat cat. Hikari wanting something is not demure, but straightforward and reality bending. She compromises only in a way that positively affects her.

Kawada Noriko, being her defacto wife, attempts to derail this force of nature. "Hikari," she says, trying to sound mature and logical, which she never is. "We have Digimon."

"They aren't pets, Nori-chi." Pulling out the nickname early, are we? "They are fully sentient creatures who eat like black holes."

"Offended." Tailmon says from her sofa pillow. "I don't want a pet. What if it breaks my things?"

"Then we replace them, Tailmon." She sounds so amused about ruining their carefully ordered lives. "We didn't buy you anything expensive."

"But what if Kei's allergic to them?"

Both of them are keen on the impossible, and they know it.

Hikari beams like a sun. "We'll find out first."

But he's not and they know they're not. That's what makes it the most frustrating.
