[strengthinkindness]

[There's just a bit of static, and then a few moments of silence before Fluttershy softly clears her throat.]

I-I um...I just wanted to let people know so uh...no one worries. But I-I...I have to go find Choco...

During the, uh...When everything was dark...something happened, a-and Choco...[There's another pause, and what suspiciously sounds like a little sniffle before a deep breath.] A-Anyway, I...I'm going to go...get him back.

I...I was told that I might be able to...to find him in Primary Village over at...File Island, so...I'll start there. But anyway, I...I just wanted to let people know...where I'll be...

[Because this time, if something happens...then at least people will know where she is.]

Comments

[strengthinkindness]

Mmm...I-I was...told there would be...Digimon eggs there, so...

[for_granite]

I'm sorry I wasn't around to help... There was so much, and no way of telling where...

[strengthinkindness]

N-No, no it's okay...It's not your fault...There was...nothing anyone could have done, really...

[It still hurt though.]

[for_granite]

You have people traveling with you, right? To...make sure you're okay?

[strengthinkindness]

W-Well...p-people have...offered to come with me...

[for_granite]

...I don't wanna crowd you. Right now...but hey, you get back, I'll help you take care of that egg...if he doesn't hatch right away.

[strengthinkindness]

Th-Thank you...I'd really appreciate that.

...Are you all right? Did...you make it through the blackout okay?

[for_granite]

Yeah... I was pretty okay. Got lucky.

[strengthinkindness]

That's good...I'm glad you're not hurt.

[for_granite]

...You're okay, right? I mean-- physically?

[strengthinkindness]

O-Oh yes...I'm...I'm not hurt...

[for_granite]

Good. At least there's that.

[strengthinkindness]

Y...Y-Yeah...

[For all the good it did.]

[for_granite]

Hey. That is a good thing.

[strengthinkindness]

[She silent for a moment before speaking again.]

Y...Yeah. I...I guess so.

[She can at least find Choco, anyway.]

[for_granite]

It is. You're important, Fluttershy. ...Choco wouldn't want you to be hurt too.

[strengthinkindness]

[She can't help a small sniffle, her eyes tearing a bit at that.]

I...I-I know...

[for_granite]

Good... 'Cause he won't wanna see you down on yourself when he's back. None of us do.

[strengthinkindness]

[She sniffles softly.]

Wh-What if he...Wh-What if he doesn't...doesn't like me anymore...? After...after getting him killed...

[for_granite]

Not. Possible.

And you didn't get him killed...I don't know much about what happened. But I know that. Couldn't've happened. You can't blame yourself.

[strengthinkindness]

[She sniffled, the tears flowing more freely now.]

B-But I did...I-I was too scared to move...even when we were attacked by a stronger Digimon...A-And Choco, he...his Dark Digivolution was...was because of me...

[for_granite]

[Dark Digivolution...]

Fluttershy... It's okay to be scared... And you can't...think like that...

He's not gonna hate you. And when he's back, I'll help. You train, if you want. You shouldn't have to...face down big Digimon like that, not if you're afraid. But I'll help you.

[strengthinkindness]

[She nods a little, still trying to wipe some of the tears away even as more stream down her cheeks.]

I-I...I-I want to try to...get stronger...I-I don't...want this to happen ever again...

[for_granite]

Then it won't. You'll get stronger.

[strengthinkindness]

[She sniffled, nodding once.]

I-I'll...I'll do my best...
