The digital world… When you get down to it, for all we've gone through, that's really what binds us all… Even if some of our adventures were different, we all went to another world to save it, and when someone who threatened that world came along… Devimon, Etemon, Vamdemon, Metal Seadramon, Pinnochimon, Mugen Dramon, Piemon, we slew them all… Ultimately, we are all chosen children, all sacrificing our youth and innocence to protect this world, and we all have those memories, even if they are slightly different… And none of us can ever forget our adventures in that world…
But even with all we've faced, even if the digimon regard us as heroes… We are still human, and still must live in the human world, even if the digital world is where we truly feel at home... And that is now the source of our suffering, even with all we've faced in the digital world… No one can feel truly happy when cut off from the world where they belong, when cut off from the digimon we've all spent so much time with…
Hikari-chan still thinks the gate will open again, she's convinced that world's not gone to us forever… I wish it were true as much as anyone, but even Takeru-kun doesn't believe her… We've served our purpose, we've saved their world, the gods are fine just casting us away... But the pain of saying goodbye is still there after all this time, I still see Piyomon's face when I close my eyes, after all… Even with all the family I have in this world, sometimes I regret leaving, sometimes I just wish I had stayed in the digital world forever… After all, that's where I belong, isn't it?
But the gods see fit to torment us, even if we are heroes… The gate rarely if ever opens, and it seems to never be when I'm around… Taichi-kun and Koushirou-san manage to get into the digital world from time to time, but the rest of us are forever on the outside looking in…
Love… Yeah, I might be a bit young to be thinking of it, but even at my age people have crushes, right? And it is my crest after all… But it seems the only one I've ever felt anything for is Piyomon… Yeah, I know, eventually I'll end up with someone, but the only ones I can even think of myself ending up with are my fellow chosen… Taichi-kun, Takeru-kun, Mimi-chan, I'm close enough to all of them, who knows, it might develop, right? Heck, even Yamato-san, Jou-san, Koushirou-san, or Hikari-chan understand me at least a bit, they've all gone through the same things, they all know my suffering… But really, for all I muse about love, whoever I find myself with, I know I'll discover it in the digital world, after all, everything else that's mattered I've discovered there… The digital world is still my home, the human world still just a place I long for the digital world in, for all those I know here… To think that when I first arrived there, I only wanted to leave, but when that mighty journey ended, I only wanted to return…
If only we would be called for again… I know, it's selfish of me, I know, we're only called when that world is suffering… Still, I want to go back there, I want to see Piyomon again, I want to go home…
An E-mail? On that "D-Terminal" Koushirou found for me? Might as well look at it, after all, maybe it has something to do with the world I belong in… Digivices? New chosen?
Oh well… But at least the gate's opened now… Even if it's only as a mentor, I'll do what I can to help them out, if only so that I may return to the digital world… And hopefully, hopefully I'll have a chance, and my next adventure would soon begin…
At least now I have hope, if nothing else… I can't wait to see Piyomon… And so I sleep, finally hopeful for what tomorrow will bring…
"Digital gate, open! Chosen Children, let's rock!"
Finally, I'm back.
