[Yeah, so. Still no Bruce on this D-Terminal, sorry. It's Floramon, once again, and this time he just looks even more worried than ever, if that was even possible.]

So... uh. [He shifts uneasily for a moment, looking pretty much like the world's most uncertain Digimon right now--which probably isn't that all far from the truth.] Bruce hasn't talked to me at all since we got to Hospitown.

[Pause.]

I'm not even sure what the problem is, this time. He just... doesn't talk. I tried to talk to him a couple of times already, but he just either doesn't respond or just says something like 'Later' and then stays in his room and doesn't come out. I asked him once if it was something I did and he said he wasn't but he still isn't talking to me at all and I...

[He just wilts here, this time. Almost literally wilts because with all of this happening, Floramon is becoming sure of one thing:]

I'm useless, aren't I? Maybe that's why he doesn't want me anymore.

We can start from there! I mean, its as good as anything.

[brokenground]

Yeah. Hopefully we can figure out collectively what to do about our Chosen, no matter what their problems are caused from. Then we can get back to business! .. But since it's your idea, I'll let you start it.

[amygdalae]

Really? Great! [See how he sparkles here, Dorumon.] I should ask Port to see if she's interested...

[brokenground]

[Sparkles are a good thing! It means enthusiasm, and that things would be okay! ...didn't it?]

Who's Port? Is she having problems with her Chosen too?

[amygdalae]

A good friend of mine. She used to have some problems, but they got better once she could digivolve.

[Or at least, it seems that way to Floramon.]

[brokenground]

... Oh boy, I really hope that isn't the trick to helping our partners out. But maybe she'll be able to offer some advice!

[amygdalae]

Well, its not like we just digivolve anytime we want. If we can digivolve, that means we're somehow closer to our partners, right?

[...again, that's what Floramon thinks.]

[brokenground]

The wild digimon digivolve eventually even without a partner. I'd like to think it means we're closer, but it might just be desperation too.. I think maybe if I was afraid enough for my Chosen's safety, I might be able to. Maybe. I don't really want to find out that way though.

[amygdalae]

Me neither. [He doesn't want to put Bruce in danger, no matter what.] I don't want to get him into trouble.

[brokenground]

It's tough. But maybe once we've found ways to help our Chosen, finding a way to digivolve will be easier too. It might just work differently for everyone.

[amygdalae]

I sure hope that'll happen sooner rather than later.

[Floramon thinks he's waited for long enough, fyi.]
