[You thought one bad sweater was enough? THINK AGAIN. Yes, it seems that Guilmon has discovered the joys how hideous attire, and he faces the video with a grin far too huge considering the circumstances.]

Everyone, you should go talk to Wheeljack right now and get one of these! He's got the best sweaters ever. Guilmon's looks cool, doesn't it? It's got diamonds and three different colors and it's fuzzy. Guilmon's never worn something fuzzy like this before. Do you think Guilmon could hide dark powers under a sweater, or is that just for scarves?

[...Yes, Kyubimon's speech still resonates with him. But, after a bit of laughter, his expression sobers a bit.]

Oh, and does anybody know ways to cheer people up? Takato's really sad right now, and he's been acting funny ever since the training party. When Guilmon asked why, he said something about Juri and Ruki, but I don't really know why. Juri and Ruki are our friends! And isn't it normal for friends to spend time together? Or is there some other way people are together that Guilmon doesn't know?

[ooc: Though the threads aren't finished yet, Takato found out about certain things at the training party. This is Guilmon's response... and also sweaters.]

It must mean a lot to her if she has to come up with a reason to never remove it...

[ The comment is meant to be idle chatter to herself, but she's not aware of how well the D-Terminal picks up on speech. ]

Mmmm, I don't think it's just a reason for that. She said she's hiding the virus under her scarf and that's why it went away!

[He waves his arms as he speaks, finishing with a nod.]

So she did a secret ritual to keep the virus hidden, but she has to keep the scarf on or it'll come back.

[ Seems something a child might say, but Mikasa's not going to ruin the illusion for him. ]

Then I was mistaken. Sorry, I spoke without knowing the full extent of her sacrifice.

That's why Guilmon wants to know if sweaters can hide dark powers, too.

[As he says this, he fiddles with one of his sleeves.]

There could be more bad powers and viruses, and Guilmon wants to make sure they're all safe and sealed and everything!

As brave as it may be, I think someone like yourself is better suited to encouraging others to stand tall against the bad things. Hiding it and being burdened with the task might caught you to lose your courageous tenacity, Guilmon.

We would suffer more without it.

Oh.

[Well, he can't really argue that. Guilmon isn't really a dark, serious and mysterious type who hides his feelings and acts grouchy. He likes being goofy and playing and eating bread and...

After a second, he nods.]

So Guilmon being Guilmon is a really good thing, right?

Yes, that's right.

[ If she could smile willingly, she just might have made an attempt to do so here. ]

Each person and Digimon have their own strengths, so they don't need to mimic the strengths of others. If they did, we would be lacking in other areas and only have a strong defense in one.

Back home, people were sorted by their strengths and given recommendations for where they would fit best in. Think of it like that.

Hmmm...

[Different strengths and recommendations? In that case...]

So what kind of place would Guilmon be sorted into? I know it doesn't work like that here, but it could help me figure out how to be better at important things.

Due to the strength and care you put forth in not destroying your surroundings, I believe you would have done well for the Garrison. Known as the Stationary Guard they protect the inside of the walls from outside attacks.

[ Mikasa explains as if she's formally giving him the position. ] You are an asset to this city's defenses. Without you here, we would be crippled in an attack.

Ooh, guards...

[He takes a few seconds to think this over, ears twitching as she talks. Then, finally, he nods and puffs out his chest.]

Mm, Guilmon would make a good Garryson! Especially as Dukemon, because Dukemon's a big, strong knight!

That's right.

[ Her voice is soft as she thinks it over. ] A big, strong knight is just what a garrison needs.

One of the others here has accumulated a number of us for a defense force. I'm interested to see how he directs us.

Mm, Guilmon's going to be helping them! I'm excited to see how it goes, because we really should start working in teams.

[He's a little surprised it didn't happen sooner!]
