Mission 5: Renewed memories and rusted bonds.

*Dante is strangely absent from this video, but Coronamon appears to be sitting on the floor next to a bed. His tail is curled onto his lap and he seems to have been crying. In fact, he still hasn't gotten his sobs fully under control by the time he starts recording.*

Since...since a lot of you know Dante and are friends with him... *Sniff.* I should probably tell you. He's- *Gulp.* He's de- *Choke.* he's gone. It was...I think it was an accident, but... *Sniffle.* Humans don't turn into eggs, do they?

You're alive here, ain't ya?

[hellboundslayer]

Make your point.

[hellspawnedhero]

We don't know what's gonna happen here. Who knows, somethin' might just happen to prove me right.

[hellboundslayer]

Even if somehow this miraculous event were to occur, the epiphany would not carry over once we all return. It would have been a pointless endeavor.

[hellspawnedhero]

So what...are you tryin' to say that everything we do and see here past what we gotta to fix things means shit?

*He's...clearly not okay with this thought.*

[hellboundslayer]

It must amount to nothing, Dante, if you are still without a brother in your time.

[hellspawnedhero]

Maybe it was just...somethin' you couldn't do much about.

*If Mundus was in control of him, knowing wouldn't mean anything, right? And he can't believe his brother would serve Mundus if he was at all himself.*

[hellboundslayer]

Then, again, I truly have little incentive now don't I?

[hellspawnedhero]

But neither of us knows the feel details of what happened before that.

[hellboundslayer]

That doesn't change the fact that, ultimately, it means little. Whatever changes in my person that you perceive need be undergone will have no effect in the end. It will change nothing.

[hellspawnedhero]

Maybe we can't do a damn thing about that one event, but we still gotta put up with each other while we're here. And everyone else's gotta deal with your jerk ass, too.

[hellboundslayer]

Their opinions hardly matter to me.

[hellspawnedhero]

Verge, in case you didn't figure it out on your own, there's probably a bunch of us 'cause we're supposed to be workin' together. Pissing off your teammates usually ain't a good idea.

[hellboundslayer]

Who said I would be participating at all?

[hellspawnedhero]

I figured you'd be pretty damn eager to do whatever it takes to get outta here, considerin' what this place did to us.

*He pointedly taps the blood soaked cut on his shirt. The injury that shouldn't have been a problem, but left him incapacitated for so long.*

[hellboundslayer]

Not all alternatives have been exhausted as of yet.

[hellspawnedhero]

If you can find a way to get us sent home without playin' along with the cheer squad act that doesn't involve wreckin' so much shit we get kicked out, be my guest. But burnin' bridges won't do ya any good if it turns out that there ain't another way.
