[ kicky feets exitedly over surprise treats. yaaaaay. ]

It's on my to-do list. I peeked in earlier but I'm definitely gonna need more time to go play.

[wow this notif never came, cool.]

We can head over later if you want? It could be cool. I don't know much about it but it's probably better if you explain it to me.

[teasing! but also, because it's memshare, unfortunately she gets this one! which can be stopped at like ~6 minutes if you want less context because the rest is just evolutions + reforming.]

[ dw i'm in tears but she certainly lights up at the idea ]

Yeah!! There's not that much fancy equipment in there but it's enough to fabricate some cool stuff.

[ chaos her expression adds. but then it goes blank because uh. wow? wow!! relatable!! terrible. meanwhile, I'm crying about digimon again I hate this. ]

Oh-

[oh this was not a great memory to share. not that he has control over it, but he pauses to just kind of stare at the ceiling before exhaling softly.]

...that...there's an explanation for that.

Didja get eaten by the digital world?

[ she sounds a little wry about it. same hat? ]

More like the guy we were fighting took us apart and turned us into data. But close enough.

[same hat!]

[ i'm in tears i had to check if she mentioned this to him already ]

Oh, pretty close then. Good thing we found a way back, huh?

Yeah. I'm pretty sure our way back was mostly sheer spite and stubbornness but it worked out, even if it was kind of freaky at the time. I don't think many people expect to completely disintegrate.

It was really scary for us......!! We disintegrated slowly into nothing. [ haha, wow the trauma ]

Us, too. We thought we were done for and that Apoclymon was gonna win and destroy the digital world. But yours happened technically when you were in the real world, right?

[ she wags her hand ]

Eeeeeh, kinda sorta.........? The metaverse and the real world merged by then and we were forgotten by the population.

[ can u believe they were forgotten out of existence ]

I know you told me a little about this, and it'd be harder to imagine if I didn't already kinda know. Was it just like you suddenly didn't exist at all? Or did people think you were there but then left a long time ago?
