For Digimon Manga/Game Flash 338 - character: Sanada Arata


20. Favorite Color

The weird thing about experiencing EDEN being tailored for its users was that, at least to Arata, it felt super true.

So much of EDEN was blue. And he loved it.

Blue was sterile. Blue was quiet. Blue was what kept you up, what tint the sky was, what color the ocean was, and it was all related. Sure they could be others, but things were only right when they were blue.

He would never say so but that was what he needed. It was calm, it was relaxed, he could blend in here. After Judes, he could be forgotten here. Even though he didn't want to be forgotten.

He wanted to be known as the one who made things right.

Where did he go wrong exactly, aside from being a confused kid who got too far in over his head? Still, he must have done something wrong, for Ryuji to never forgive him for this, to never forgive him for anything.

And looking at the blue, the sterile, selfsame unchanging blue, he could almost guess what it was. Almost, but not enough. Not enough at all.

Still, he sat in EDEN and kept searing. Maybe someday, he'd find an answer.
