Abel and Kain
26.

Aki was terribly idealistic, it turned out, and naive. She signed up and got herself a Tanemon that she couldn't coax a word out of initially, then went through the first "event". The one with Calumon and Gabumon. The whole script and she was so happy, as though it wasn't a script at all.

Somehow, the others who'd gone through the same event themselves hadn't noticed, either. All happy that digimon were talking and interacting, never minding it was the same thing repeated in a never-ending loop whenever a new Tamer subscribed. There were hundreds of Calumon, one for each Tamer and their farm. Sticking to the small amount of words they could manage, doing the role assigned to them.

So Aki was swept away like the others. People really were silly, sometimes. Aki seemed to have forgotten Tomomi's disinterest entirely. Just like the rest of them.

They'd found out how imperfect the world was eventually.
