Message from Rei
10. Hideto

After Rei, that was the second thing Neo regretted. More than the digimon he killed – because all of that had come afterwards. Rei and Hideto had come first.

All his misdeeds had started from the two of them. Ignoring Rei. Hating Hideto – and just adding to the guilt Hideto had been burying himself under. But either of them could have pushed Rei out of the way. Either of them could have saved her.

Neither of them did. And yet Neo had dumped the blame on Hideto. Hated him…and then used him. And Hideto, feeling guilty, had let himself be used.
