[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. ]

But, what is it?

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!

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

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

Oh! A crest!

--but why is yours pink?

A crest...?

[He goes back to studying it.]

I don't know. It just appeared like this.

Yes, I've read a lot about them.

[ She's just a bit more energetic than usual. Almost as if she were a teenager girl. Funny that. ]

We use them to Digivolve our Digimon to a stronger stage than before.

[He glances off-screen.]

But he already did that on his own.

To the ultimate stage?

[ Pausing: ] Or was it a darker digivolution?

They can change more than once?

That's right. We've seen Digimon of varying levels.

The more powerful ones are of a higher tier so it's natural to believe that eventually our own Digimon can reach that level of strength themselves.

They are...? I thought that was just... how they were.

I didn't think they could change like that.

They can and they will now with your Crest.

That's the way it was explained to me in the past, but I'm afraid I'm a bit too inexperienced. I'm a Crest Newbie as well, but if I figure out anything that contradicts what I've told you, I'll give you a call!

They don't all have to be like the one that attacked... do they?

I think they can grow to that potential, but they should always be willing to listen to their Chosen. I believe they're tied to your emotions as well.

Tied to... my emotions?

Have you ever witnessed a Dark Digivolution before? [ Bluntly asking. ]

A... what?

[The answer is "no".]

A Dark Digivolution is when your Digimon reacts to negative emotions and evolves into a monster. It's happened to a few of us already.

A monster...?

[He scowls, suddenly, shaking his head.]

No. I won't let that happen.

I'd hope not.

--Well, it isn't as if it's something you can plan for. Sometimes you get really upset or sad over something, then BAM. Your Digimon becomes a monster.

That's what I meant with the emotions, by the way.

...

Then I have to stay calm.

That's what I have to do.

It can happen no matter the emotion. I was sad and it somehow happened to Lunamon.

Er--wait, I didn't say that. Hold on, how do I delete these things again?!

...

What? It happened to you?

... Yes, it happened to me.

Not that I enjoy talking about it since it was anything but an act of classiness.
