Davis POV
"It used to just be every night I could see myself holding the whip and enjoying the sound of the digimon screaming in pain. Now it's every day. I don't even have to close my eyes to see myself back at the digital world back as the Kaiser. I can't trust myself not to turn into that person again"
It felt weird having Ken open up to him. Ken never opened up to anyone, not even wormmon. The boy always kept a stoic mask to hide his pain and guilt. Yet here he was admitting to Davis the darkest thoughts and fears that had plagued his mind.
Davis admittedly wasn't a natural when it came to comforting people. He usually lightened the mood with an irritating joke to get a response. However, any touch of humour at this point seemed grossly inappropriate. He would have to try and talk this out.
"I thought if I died I'd finally leave the dark ocean and my past behind me but it just dragged back. I'll never escape it. There's too much darkness in me" Ken said resentfully
"Come on, Ken! You've done some pretty rotten things but you're not an evil person" Davis shrugged
"I just don't know how to get over this" Ken hunched over
"I don't know either but we're in this together! I'm not letting you go without a fight"
He was surprised to find his hand reaching out and entwining it's fingers in Ken's and was even more surprised to find a fresh wave of tears streaming down his face. He brushed them away with fierce haste. Unfortunately Ken spotted the deft action. However, had the decency not to comment on it.
