[Hi, Terminal! Here's Biyomon, looking a little anxious. She's sat by herself, on Ringabel's bed, and it's made. N-nope, no-one's slept there that night. She's pressing one claw to the other, looking a little dejected.]

S-so, um... since my chosen's recovered, he's been away every night so far, coming back early in the morning... So I got curious, and I followed him out one night, and...

[There's a small sigh.]

He.... really likes spending time with the nurse digimon. I've never seen anything like it, I didn't think digimon even thought that way about humans, but... How can you even have a date with 3 different digimon at once?!

Um... I know the question's strange. But... I want to know about everyone's links to their chosen. Did you see any of their lives, in their worlds, at all? Was it just you knew who they were, but you didn't see anything, or...?

Last month, my chosen stopped me from becoming a digi-egg again. He stopped something... and the guy I looked on, my chosen, he wouldn't ever do that. Not for anyone- so... Though it was weird, I was happy. He named me, and everything. I thought that we understood one another, and he'd changed a little. I thought he'd started to care about me.

But...
this, everything he's done while he's been here. It doesn't make sense! He'd never do any of this. Not ever! He'd have already saved the digital world, because he's a hero, not a lecherous philanderer that spends all day sleeping! What if something went wrong when he was brought here? It's so stupid sounding... but what if... he's not the person I've been waiting for? He looks identical, speaks the same, has the same habits... but...

I don't know about any of this.
I think I'm going mad.

[And! As if on cue, there's the sound of a door opening. And! A certain "lecherous philanderer" shuffles inside, unceremoniously faceplanting upon his bed and a few seconds later, starts to snore.]

[It's a Dorumon! And a Dracmon, she must be new since the last time Biyo and Doru exchanged words. Terra's not in view; presumably he's not terribly far, but there's likely a reason Dracmon took the time to make sure this particular video can't be overheard.]

I've found the hard way that Chosen change. When ... for years, waiting for Terra, I knew he was a good person, who fought for justice and good and all that sort of stuff a Chosen is supposed to fight for. But when he arrived here.. he's more like the evil digimon we're going to fight, than the ones we're fighting alongside, in a lot of ways..

[Dorumon sinks a little where he sits, ears folded back in a manner that suggests dejection. Dracmon sighs, and rubs her face with one hand. She doesn't seem dejected about it at all, more like just a shade annoyed with Dorumon.]

He's still a good person, he's just not the same type he was before. Like we sometimes change our types when we evolved, his is different now too. Anger and hatred are sometimes as part of a person as being good or wanting justice, they're not exclusive. Your Chosen's likely the same way. Just because he likes females a lot more than is usually healthy, doesn't mean that beneath it he isn't the exact person you've been waiting for. This is what he chooses to show the world. It may just be a mask he wears to hide the rest. You know deep down inside if your Chosen is your Chosen.. and you wouldn't be with him still if you really doubted. There's a connection that can't be mistaken. We have to adopt to their changes, their evolutions, the same way they have to adapt to ours. Just find a way to remind him that there's more to do than the ladies.

[There's a click as Biyomon changes the feed to private, and then her back's turned as she tosses something at the back of Ringabel's head. The snoring turns into a splutter, and then murmuring.]

Phoenix Flight.
Full brave. Rage... Zero strike. Zero strike. Stand Ground.

...Curaja, as soon as you can.

Yes. That strategy...

[And a frustrated sigh as he starts snoring again.]

Oh... a Dracmon? Um, hello. I haven't seen you around before. You travel with mister Terra, too?

[And.]

It's not just the girls, though it is disgraceful. I'm not... good at dealing with how delicate humans are. I'd never even heard of amnesia before he came along. But... whatever this is, you're right. However... However much I hate the person he is now, there's no chance he isn't the same person as the one I saw the life of. There's no way the digital world made a mistake.

...I just have to keep repeating that.

Yes. I've actually been trying to catch up with him for a while now, but suddenly everyone switched continents. But I'm here now, that's all that matters.

[She doesn't explain her certainty that she's the original partner, and Dorumon only caught up with Terra first. It wasn't really important.]

Think of them as newly hatched, if you want to know how to handle their delicateness. Not all of them are fragile, I've seen Terra take a rock to the head and just get right back up. ..Sure he was dizzy but he managed it.

You didn't make a mistake, Biyomon. You couldn't have. Maybe it just wasn't the right time to bring your Chosen here. If he can't remember things, then maybe he doesn't remember being a hero either. Find a way to remind him!

[Dorumon seems enthusiastic about this idea - for a few moments. Wasn't amnesia caused by being brained or something?]

Telling yourself something over and over won't make it stick. I'm sorry, but it's true. Faith isn't a matter of repeating what sounds good. Believe in him. And find ways to get him away from the things that trigger his vices, instead of his virtues. Or I don't know, be the female he's so keen on. It'd be creepy, but it might work.

Wow. And you didn't give up... That's really amazing. It's nice to meet you!

[Of course, Escha's quite oblivious to the tensions regarding scope and... unscoped digimon. So! She's listening to the both of them talk.]

It's so strange though. He remembers things he should remember, like his airship, and the eternian military... but everything's backwards. Reminding him of these things is difficult, because he knows them, but...

[And if she could blush! She would.]

N-no way! I can't be her, and... I don't want to. And... I'm glad she's not here. I hate her for what she did to him.
