A friend... she was going to confess to being the great witch, so she'd get burned and no one else would have to die. It's... one way to end those trials forever.
I couldn't let that happen. So, I helped her get free.... but then they.... they locked me back in, and...
[ .... ]
Yeah, it seems like it. And I know I'm not the only one. So I don't know what happened.
Something must have changed. Magic? [she's talking about witches, so.] I wouldn't say that was really your fault. You were trying to protect a friend. If anything, the fault is in those people running those trials.
You can ask me whatever you want. I don't really have secrets or anything. [not that he would tell her, which is maybe the point. but he grins and gestures for her to follow.]
It's...big. When we first got there, we were in a place called File Island. We didn't realize there was more to the Digital World than where we were, but the island itself was pretty big. It's a lot like Earth but not a lot of buildings or cities or anything. We slept outside a lot and just took turns keeping watch for any monsters that'd attack us. We started out in a forest, but we made our way to the beach and up and mountain and all over the place.
It's close to that, yeah. We walked pretty much everywhere, except for the times our Digimon could help us fly or we had friends that would help us travel across the ocean. There were some villages and towns in different places that we visited the first time we were there. But for the most part a lot of Digimon lived on their own and survived by finding their own shelter and food and everything.
No different than us. They had everything set up and a way of living before we even got close to them. Sometimes it kinda felt like we were intruding, but a lot of them were nice and helped us out when they could.

... It didn't. I was found innocent, but... I still ended up being thrown into the flames.

Yeah... I know what you mean. Those knights were pretty awful, too, they just threw me back in there.
But Nick... must be so worried about me...

... You don't have to protect me, silly. But I won't say no to a burger.
I think... it'd be nice to know more about your memories, too. From you, not from.... whatever this is supposed to be.
[ tho taichi's memories are pretty tame in comparison.... so far :/ ]
