>Let it go. There has to be a reason. You feel like the both of you have bonded, but ultimately, you've only known him for a day. It may be foolish to move forward without getting to the bottom of this, but not now. Swallow it down and be left wondering, but keep your relationship afloat a bit longer.
This was a big thing to conceal. You don't buy any prospective excuses that he didn't know about the function. Yet, knowing about his deception is completely different from actually dragging it into the light. You can't bring yourself to speak up. The peace between the two of you was hard fought, and despite both of your misgivings, it seems like he's starting to trust you now. He must be, if he's willing to be shut down at your urging. You just wish that trust wasn't damaged on your own end.
"It's just the leg. Still hurts."
<span class="mu-s">"If you say so,"</span> he replies with a nervous shrug.
You'll get to the bottom of this one day, you swear. Right now, you have your reward to claim. Doc intends to make good on his promise to teach you all about the Digivice, and the road it opens up for you. Phascomon returns to the linker, making several comments about the improved interior while you follow Doc back into the workshop partition.

Your stay in the workshop is brief, but eventful. Doc teaches you plenty, and you find yourself enamored by the world that has opened up before you. The device is far more complex than you imagined. It has functions to store food and medicine data, its own internal environment, and comes pre-loaded with training simulations. Phascomon is particularly excited about tasting new food.
<span class="mu-s">"You mean you can just buy these? You don't have to scrounge for them?"</span>
"Yeah. They use credits. I don't have a lot, though, I never bothered working for any," you say dismissively.
Plenty of the premium food items available on the e-store are suitable for Digimon consumption. The Kokuwamon seem to love meat, and when Doc materializes several hunks for them, you find your mouth watering too. Your partner seems more inclined towards vegetables, surprisingly enough. You would've thought that a bear would love meat. Or fish.
"Where are you getting all of this? It must get expensive, I thought you didn't take credits."
"I can duplicate almost anything. Why not a consumable tokens?" Doc replies.
Cracking the non-fungible nature of limited-use items is one of the most basic tasks for a Code Cracker to take on. Ironically, many of them also do the opposite with their single-use .apps.
He helps you install a farming program on your Digivice, creating a sub-partition within the already impressive environment that Phascomon lives in. Neither you nor the expert can quite comprehend how it fits so much space into such a tiny device. There's somehow more room in there than the warehouses and habitation units in 87O. Even though he's managed to duplicate it using some very expensive resources, he can't reverse engineer the storage method.
