Is the future for other worlds predetermined? Is it for the Digital World or the Real?
Does knowing what happens, mean it will now always happen?
If you meet someone from your future, does that mean you can't change it any more, since it's their past, and the past can't be changed? If changing your future to help you, might hurt other people and their past, or maybe even remove entire people from existing, do you have the right to try to change anything at all?

You think it's okay to ruin lives or end them just so your life is a little better? It's your future, but it's their past.

Life isn't a black or white thing and I think you're thinking in extremes here. Life is made up of small, tiny choices that can affect the bigger picture.
Or, maybe I just don't get it.

Say.. you have a best friend named Tom. You just left him in your world, when you arrived here. Then he arrives too, and has his own digimon partner! But he says he comes from fifteen years in your future. Then he tells you that his life is good, and everyone's doing okay, and the usual stuff, except that in order for him to have that good life you need to die, because you sacrificed yourself to save him, and there was no way to save you too.
Now that you know that you save his life, is it right to not save his life, and thus save your own? If you don't follow along with what had already happened for him, and stay with his history's already completed timeline, maybe your best friend won't be there anymore, just so you can survive.

But how do we know there are only two outcomes? Why can only one of us survive this? What if there is a third way out that Tom just isn't aware of because he is only aware of the one timeline?
