[The screen comes on to Yu looking... rather upset and worried. In the background one can easily hear heart breaking sobs. Not childish crying or whining for attention- more like someone young grieving]

Ah.... excuse me but... is it normal for a digimon's evolution to be... really different in personality then originally?

[He looks back at where his partner is crying off screen]

Raidou... it's not your fault...

I-i never wanna digivolve again!!

...alright, if that's what you want. I won't force you.

[ Rise wasn't sure how to answer this at first. Though experience told her that it was possible. After all, cute and silly little Lucy did turn to the very frightening Devimon .... ]

What happened, sempai?!

[leaderkun]

While we were gathering info on this SCOPE virus he digivolved and started attacking blindly. It was... quite a change.

[risette_truestory]

No one was hurt ...?

[ Sounds a lot like what happened to Lucy. ]

[leaderkun]

No, thankfully. Still, if it's going to be a problem maybe... I should take myself out of direct combat.

[risette_truestory]

Or ... you could take the fight somewhere else?

We need you, sempai ...

[leaderkun]

I can't force Raidou to fight if he's not ready. He's not a Persona I can just switch out...

[risette_truestory]

I guess ... sempai has a point ...

... but hey! I'm sure there are other ways to help.

[leaderkun]

[He nods]

You taught me that.

[risette_truestory]

I did?

[leaderkun]

Umhmm. We would have been in a lot of trouble without your help back home, even if you didn't fight directly.

[ It sounds like something that hasn't happened yet. But she couldn't imagine not doing anything, so it might be something she'd do. ]

I'm sorry ... I really don't remember all that. But I am so glad that I got to help everybody in some way.

So I guess this means I still kept helping with my Persona ...

[leaderkun]

[He nods again, still so unused to Rise being from so far back in comparison to what he knows. He hopes he isn't messing up the timeline or something]

So no matter what I'll manage.
