[Well it's the birdbrain again, this time, holding up something pink and glowing.]

[He looks completely bewildered. But that's nothing new.]

What is this? It just -- I was talking to someone, and it just appeared.

Did I do something wrong?

[And yes, that's a serious question.]

Wow, you got one as well? Incredible!

[ What a helpful answer. ]

[fuckinstoplights]

But, what is it?

[codes]

It's a thing!

[ She's still on the high of getting one of her own that she can't formulate a decent response. ]

The thing that does the thing to help the thingies do their thing!

[fuckinstoplights]

That... really doesn't tell me anything.

[codes]

Um, the word I'm looking for is... [ Tapping her fingers in thought. ]

Oh! A crest!

--but why is yours pink?

[Video]

[wheeljackofalltrades]

Hey. You got a....thing.

[He's just as helpful! Aren't you so glad he's your mentor?]

[Video]

[fuckinstoplights]

That...

Really doesn't tell me anything.

[Video]

[wheeljackofalltrades]

It's...

[How do you explain it...]

Some kinda thing that helps ya get stronger. Can't really explain how it works. Dunno myself.

[Video]

[fuckinstoplights]

So... it's to make me stronger.

But you don't know how to accomplish that.

[Video]

[wheeljackofalltrades]

Well, I've done it.

Just not somethin' ya can really practice with. It just happens. When you...need it.

[Do you remember this little girl, Kagerou?]

That's the Crest of Light! It's yours. Wow, it's the same one I have.

video;

[fuckinstoplights]

[Yes. He does. And he sits up a little straighter.]

Mine...?

What does it do? I -- why did it just appear?

Re: video;

[digilight]

You must've done something to make it appear. The crest's power's inside you, after all.

video;

[fuckinstoplights]

I haven't done anything...

It has to be a mistake.

video;

[digilight]

It can't be, the crests don't make mistakes.

[yayashton]

You didn't do anything wrong. [Ryan unclasps something from around his neck and holds it up for the camera to focus on. It's a Crest of Light on a thin gold chain.] I have one too.

video;

[fuckinstoplights]

Then... what is it?

It just appeared out of nowhere.

video;

[yayashton]

It's called the crest of light. [Ryan puts his crest back on, tucking it into his shirt.] My partner has told me that they appear when the Digital World has decided that you're worthy of them - which seems to be randomly, at best.

video;

[fuckinstoplights]

Light...

[Then he shakes his head, all but shoving the little crest at the screen.]

No. No, I'm not worthy. It's a mistake.

video;

[yayashton]

You don't get to decide that. Nobody ever gets to decide for themselves if they're worthy or not. [Ryan shrugs.] It's yours, whether you like it or not.

[video]

[strengthinkindness]

Oh...! You have a crest!

Comgratulations!

[video]

[fuckinstoplights]

It's a mistake. It has to be.

They said it's for worthy people. I'm not.

[video]

[strengthinkindness]

...Why not?

[video]

[fuckinstoplights]

I'm only a prototype. I'm not... anything special.

I'm not worthy of anything.

[video]

[strengthinkindness]

Th-That's not true...You're here, so you're worthy of something. What that is...that's up to you to make it what you will.
