"You don't?"
"Helping the two of you reach Ultimate was the absolute extent of my abilities. My own partners here have only reached Champion, you know. Your growth has already been meteoric. I had the right idea about you both."
You feel your chest swell with pride, but it's not enough.
"Surely there's a way to get to Mega too..."
"Marnie. Your growth has been nothing short of historic. If your exploits could be published, you'd quickly be legendary in this city. What's the rush?"
"The rush is that one day, that blue bastard could swoop down and take us out. Then our whole journey would be for nothing."
"Even so, don't you think you could benefit from taking it easy for just a little bit? You don't have to jump straight for the top after climbing another step. Maybe enjoy your new power, your new freedom, try to see some more of this city. You're still young. Your dreams aren't going anywhere."
"Aren't you listening, Doc? They are! We could still be defeated, all our time and effort could be wasted. That's why I want us to climb out of here before it has a chance to go wrong."
<span class="mu-s">"It won't be for nothing, either way."</span> Phascomon quips.
"What do you mean? If we can't leave-"
His ears flick, and he shuffles about in his seat with an inscrutable expression.
<span class="mu-s">"Uh huh. Hey. It's near noon. We've got more fish to fry. Give him the rest of the rundown."</span>
"Oh, right."
You haven't seen him get moody like this in a few weeks. Things have been going great at home. You shrug and move on to the next topic.
>Show him the lifel1ne data and talk about the damage it did to Bella. If he can improve it, you might have a safer piece of tech to use for the next time. He could also give you some insights on the Hospital trip, since you're forgoing your scouting mission today in order to speak to him.
>Prioritise telling him about Sealsdramon and the Dogs of War, including their current state. He might have some idea of the chaos going on, since he lives in a seedy district. You also want to get his thoughts on everything that's happened regarding the City Digimon.
>Write-in: Ask him a specific question about Astamon, to see if he has an answer after scanning. This can be chosen with the other votes.
