Fourth Verse: Video

[Hello, Digital World! Here's Hawkmon with Marley's D-Terminal! He's actually being relatively quiet, speaking only as a conversational level this time.]

Good morning. I am Hawkmon. I just would like to take the time out to welcome all of the new Chosen to the city. If there's anything you need, feel free to ask. Marley would like to extend her greetings, too, but she's still sleeping, so I will say hello for her. She'd be more than welcome to help any way she can.

[Now that that part is over, Hawkmon simply waves a wing and quickly sets up a filter. Thank you, Marley, for teaching him how to do that!]

[Filtered to Commanders Uzuki and Shepard]

I don't think Marley is feeling well. She hasn't been able to hold food down for very long at all, and she's tired and doesn't want to leave the room, and she won't let me leave either. Not even to get her a drink of water. I didn't know who else to call, and thought you would know what to do.

[This only makes him more worried.] Did you eat anything yesterday?

I...tried.

[She cuddles up in her blankets, clinging to her stuffed Leomon doll.]

I wanted to talk to Zack, but he...I can't find him on the network anymore...

[Oh. He looks down for a moment, then back up.]

I...think he's gone. Left. [He swallows.] Marley, it's-- tough, but you have to eat. Maybe...crackers? Something?

[He tries to think of what his mom would feed him, when he was sick, but he knows that it's not the same thing.]

[Marley whimpers quietly as she buries her face into the stuffed Leomon. She's figured out Zack had gone home, and hasn't taken the news well.]

I don't...want to eat.

I haven't been able to leave the room.

[He swallows. There has to be something he can do.] You have to. It'll, you'll get sick. Sicker. Worse.

[She'll pass out again, and he doesn't want that to happen.]

[She's quiet, shaking slightly under the blankets. She can't bring herself to argue anymore. Not with Cam, of all people. He understood, at least on some level, what she was going through. And ignoring his requests, his efforts to help...wouldn't that just make her a hypocrite?

Finally, after a long moment of silence, she nods her head once. She'll eat.]

[That's a relief. Though Cam's still worried.

Softly, slowly, he starts:] ...Have you told Miss Shepard about...this?

...No. Not even Commander Uzuki.

[He's not going to tell her Commander Uzuki still scares him.] Tell her. ...Or him, or both of them. I, -- I don't know about the Commander, but...Miss Shepard knows...a lot of stuff. More than I know. She could help.

...What if they can't help me?

[She seems to bury herself further into her blankets with a soft whimper.]

[With a thin, stretched smile:] They can't really help me either. Not really. But Miss Shepard tries. And...it's better to have them there, I-I think.

...Okay. I'll...I'll talk to one of them...

[It's because you suggested it, Cam. She wouldn't agree to it if it were anyone else.]

Thank you, Cam.

[He sighs, out of relief, and it's rough.] Good. I'm...good. And if you...next few days, if you need me, I'm here.

Thanks, Cam. Just...thanks.

[Marley's eyes drift close as Hawkmon takes control of the D-Terminal once more.]

I think she's going back to sleep. I'll make sure she eats when she wakes up again. Don't worry. I might be able to go when she's fully asleep. And I'll leave her D-Terminal on, too, just in case.

[He might have been rambling. Just a little bit.]

[He lowers his voice, so as not to wake Marley.] Hawkmon, it, it's okay. You...thanks for watching out for her.

...I'll check back in, later. Maybe...drop off something for her to eat.

I have to. I made a pact with Choco, and...I don't think I'm doing a great job if Marley's gotten bad like this.

[He glances back at Marley before looking back at the D-Terminal.]

Will you stop by? Marley might need some company. If you can't, I'll definitely be here.

This stuff's...tough. Don't beat yourself up. [He knows, in a way, with how some days, he just wants to.

Hm.] I will. Stop by, yeah. Definitely.

Thank you, Cam. Marley is lucky to have you as her friend.

...She's my friend. 'Course I'll help her.

I'm glad...thank you.

[With a feathery wave, Hawkmon cuts the feed. He has a teenage girl to help take care of.]
