Yolei was crying. She stared at the ring on her finger, which was not serving in keeping her tears back. Ken's words rattled in her mind. Soon after, crying twisted onto coughing and she began to feel ill.
She dreamed of him saying something for most of her life. Not like this.
"Please don't marry him," he begged once more.
Happily, Yolei announced that her boyfriend asked for her hand and she had accepted. It was going to be a small ceremony with family and some friends. They may have been rushing into something serious, but she was convinced that they would make it work. They were adults.
"Please," he asked once more, this time begging. She crashed her head into his shoulders and he wrapped his arms around her. "Even if it isn't for me, do it for yourself."
Many of her friends were wary. Yolei's boyfriend was not DigiDestined and did not accept Digimon as living beings. He was cordial to them all, Digimon included, but never he never took the time to integrate himself into her circle of friends. Each and every one of the DigiDestined had their own opinion of her relationship; however, it was never a voiced opinion. Not until now.
"But why?" she asked, trying to wipe the tears from her face with her sleeve.
Taking over the task with his thumb, Ken said lowly, "Because you deserve someone who will make you happy."
"I am happy."
With a new weight on his body, Ken's arms dropped, giving Yolei the idea to step back. "I see," Ken said, his world broken.
With no words to say, Yolei turned around and left, shutting the door carefully. When the door fell into place and she was gone, Ken sat down, his head in his hands. Many thoughts ran through his head, wreaking havoc as they processed.
She was going home to him.
