It makes it all so much worse, the knowing, the caring, the recognition, and the acknowledgment. Because he can't really save her partner no matter where and when but he can save her and he's going to try.

It's real.

His partner is real.

Daigo is terrified. Takato is ecstatic, then terrified.

What was he going to do with this giant dragon? Digimon eat more than a whole family of humans if you let them.

Calm down, don't panic. Breathe, breathe, and definitely hide this from Hime-chan. Definitely.

Still, his heart is beating with an excitable thrill. He was real. Nishijima Daigo was real, and not a dream and that meant it all happened. The good and bad had all happened.

He was sane.
