[It's around 5 am or so in HospiTown. One D-terminal's feed opens to the hospital lobby. Some sniffling can be heard and there's a siloutte of a Gaomon. She speaks to someone off camera.]
Guren, she's going to come back, right? We're still around so that's got to mean something. Guren, are you listening to me?
[The Elecmon doesn't say anything but both digimon stand up at the sound of the lobby doors opening. Sure enough, there's Saori in a striped purple kimono. While she didn't look any older, but the air she gave off was different some how. Kiyomi and Guren drop the D-Terminal as they rush over to her.]
It's been a while but it's good to see you two again. How long was I...
You're been gone for three days, you idiot! You got some really shitty timing leaving us like that!
[There's a frown on her face but she doesn't scold him for his language. Instead, she scoops the two up in her arms in a hug before setting them down. Kiyomi manages to pick up the D-Terminal again. Saori looks to the feed and smiles.]
I'm sorry. I didn't mean to make you guys worry. You know I wouldn't leave here until we fixed everything up. Three days here and yet it's been years for me back home. This digital world is so weird.
Saori, what's that?
[She looks down to see what Kiyomi is refering to. Her fingers reach up to pull out a piece of paper from her kimono folds. She turns it over, revealing it's a picture. There's a tall man in a dark blue kimono with dark green hair tied in a braid next to Saori. He's dressed in a traditional kimono as well despite the silver earring and lip ring he wore. In his arms, he carried a 5 year old girl with matching hair color while Saori held onto a boy of the same age but with her hair color.]
It's a photo of my family, Kiyomi. These are my children.
YOU HAVE WHAT?!
[With that, she reaches over to close the feed. One thing at a time, everyone.]
