Code 001 [video]

[Click! The video comes on. This is the first time Hakuno is using her D-Terminal to make a video of her own, rather than just reply to someone else's, but she doesn't look nervous at all.]

I've been thinking for a while... is it common for the people here to give their partners nicknames? [Ever since she ran into Cam, it's been sort of... wiggling around at the back of her mind. She'll have to address it sooner or later.] I mean, it makes sense, since there are some people here with the same species of digimon. But how many people here have started calling their partners something different?

[From off-screen comes a slightly exasperated voice.] Hakuno, really, it's okay. You don't have to do this...

[Hakuno laughs a little, but otherwise ignores her partner's words.] It just seems weird, to keep calling someone who's supposed to be my friend by what's more or less just the name of her species.

... Oh. Okay then. Well, if it helps anyway, I don't think you're the bad sort of weirdo.

[Hmm...]

And I'm not really sure yet. I've been thinking maybe... something mythological. [There's a sort of fond tone to her voice when she speaks next, like she's reminiscing about something.] I had a.... a friend. Who was... pretty big into Ancient Rome.

[Not entirely accurate, but she's told enough people about her magical spirit of genderswapped Emperor Nero for now, probably.]

I thought it would be a nice way to remember her, giving my new partner a nickname based on something she loved so much.

Thanks. You're not a bad sort of weirdo either. [ No one said Hakuno was a weirdo, Misha... ]

Hm... Roman mythology. Maybe Venus?
