Davis POV

"Got an answer yet?" Sphynxmon licked her lips

"I'm thinking!"

Actually Davis was waiting for the others to reply to his email. He was starting to worry that Darkness had found them. For all Tai's lectures on going into the digital world alone, he felt more at risk knowing the others were here. Especially, when they weren't replying to emails. Either way it looked as if he was on his own.

"Can you repeat the riddle?" he ignored her raised eyebrow

If you break me I do not stop working

If you touch me I will be snared

If you lose me nothing will matter

"Snared means trapped right?" he took her smile for a yes

Ok. All of these meaningless clues added up to one thing? His first thought was a digivice but when he thought about it if the digivice broke it probably wouldn't work and and he'd never been trapped by one. A digimon? That would make sense. Digimon were reborn when they were deleted and he'd been trapped by digimon on several occasions and if he lost his digimon nothing would ever matter. It added up but he had a strong suspicion that wasn't the answer.

"Damn, look I need to save my friends isn't there any other way you can move?" he begged

"Think you can take me on in a fight?"

Erm, on second thoughts he might just stick with the riddle. He had no way of protecting himself from her. It was killing him to feel this helpless. He had the crests of friendship and courage, surely that should mean he could save them. So why, was it so damn hard.

He knew he'd die if he lost any of them. There was no life for him without the digimon and Ken. The connection between the four of them was too strong. He'd die alone as a failure. He'd be a disgrace to his crests. He'd finally feel the full force of a broken heart that even Kari couldn't cause!

So what if his heart would still beat? You needed someone to have it and keep it safe. What better person for that than a friend? Without it having a reason to beat his life would have no meaning...nothing would ever matter!

"It's a heart. Even if someone breaks your heart it won't stop working and will continue to pump blood. When someone important comes into your life and touches you then they have your heart. Without your heart you can't live because nothing will ever matter..."

Sphynxmon got up and stood her ground watching Davis.
