Those things aren't Digimon, I don't think. [Ken peers off screen, likely out the window at the worms crawling around.] First yesterday's shower of meteors, and now these overly large worms.

Does anyone know why things are getting more aggressive? Is it because of the revolutionaries?

I guess you're right. People seem pretty angry at them, and they even killed that one deity who was supposedly collaborating with us . . .

Is it always this tense here?

[oceantrauma]

No. It hadn't been like this before. This is something that's been happening after the past few months.

[paving]

Just my luck - I arrived just when something big's about to happen!

Anyway, thanks for answering all of my questions. I'm Komaeda Nagito.

[oceantrauma]

[Ken bows.]

It's a pleasure to meet you. I'm only sorry it's under these circumstances, Komaeda-san.

I'm Ichijouji Ken, and I would gladly answer whatever other questions you might have.

[paving]

It's nice to meet you, Ichijouji-kun. It's nice to meet someone who's so level-headed in all of this craziness!

How long have you been here?

[oceantrauma]

Level-headed? I suppose so. There used to be others, and there are still some here that handle these situations well. It makes a difference to speak with someone like that.

I've been here well over a year. About a year and a half.

[paving]

Yeah. Panicking is natural, but in the end, we have to move on and do something, right?

That's a long time . . . I'm glad you're still looking hopeful.

[oceantrauma]

I agree. That's why I liked the people I've met here. They're usually pretty good at laying things out and giving you plans. All of that made it easier.

I am? Well, it would be thanks to my friends.

[paving]

Friends are a good source of hope. People should never lose hope in a situation. When they do, that's when they give up and everything's lost.

[oceantrauma]

I-I guess that's true. [It makes him think of his friends back home.]

But since we know so little about this place, I think it's easy to keep hoping. There's always a chance something will take us home.
