[ Hehe?

SAME BODY BORROWING ]

If you can't use your own for whatever reason, you may as well use what you can.

I'm quite fond of being Kyoko.

[dendroculi]

...what was your original name?

[factoring]

It's funny, you're the first one who's asked.

[ And while she keeps a lot to herself, there's a certain amused feeling when seeing somebody else do the same as her. ]

My name is Alphamon.

[dendroculi]

Hehe... it's nice to meet you, Alphamon.

I'm Buer.

[factoring]

The same goes for you, Buer.

[dendroculi]

[she smiles]

...just like you said you like being Kyoko... I like being Nahida, too.

[factoring]

Names are names. [ It's not like it changes the person. ] I'll keep using Nahida.

[dendroculi]

I'll keep using Kyoko, then.

But... I'll also remember your original name.

[factoring]

I really don't use it that often.

[ She can count it on one finger, even. ]

[dendroculi]

I guess if you've been Kyoko for so long, you wouldn't have many opportunities to...

[factoring]

[ There's a little pause. There's the sense she's referring to herself as Alphamon instead of Kyoko. ]

"I" don't usually show myself unless the situation is dire.

[dendroculi]

...would the situation we're in now count? Or is it not dire quite yet?

[factoring]

I'd say this is dire for me personally, but the only reason "I" am active is because my Digital World is on the brink of destruction.

[Otherwise, Alphamon is nothing but a legend.]

[dendroculi]

[oh. bad.]

But you'll be able to save it, if we can all get out of here?

[factoring]

Yes, we had a plan to save it.

[They were right there and ready to go and then... Kyoko died(?)]

[dendroculi]

...I hope you'll get to go righ back to carrying out your plan, once we're done here.

[factoring]

That makes two of us.

You need to get back to your nation, don't you?

[dendroculi]

...

[she nods]

Yes. I have to go back.

[factoring]

Everyone does.

[oink oink.]

[dendroculi]

[oink oink indeed... nahida looks worried when the memory finishes playing out.]

...you mentioned your world was on the brink of destruction. So - that memory... it must have been very recent?

[factoring]

It was only several hours ago from when I must have died. We went back to the agency to ensure everything was properly taken care of on Earth.

[dendroculi]

[she nods...]

Then, depending on how all of this resolves... it should be okay.

[factoring]

It has to.

[Or else a lot of people are about to die.]

[dendroculi]

It will be.

[they have to believe in that up until the end. if they give up on it... then an unhappy outcome is almost guaranteed.]
