Hello, everyone...

It seems like I've been out of it for awhile...

...even longer than some of you already have been, it'd seem.

Sorry if I worried anyone... I'll be laid up for a little while longer, according to the doctors.

"A little while longer," commander?

I think you're going to be staying in bed for some time.

You concentrate on feeling better. I'm keeping your chair warm.

... Fortunately, enough has happened in the world that nothing pressing has demanded our attention. Yet. I don't expect that to last too much longer.

[lyricalmagical]

Heh... I don't suppose my body is going to give me much choice for a little while...

Thank you, Ivan. I knew I could count on you.

[externalmonologue]

Me? Hardly. I'm just keeping things running.

There are many agents that deserve your thanks more than me.

[lyricalmagical]

You give yourself far too little credit.

However, have heard back from most everyone...?

...and... Daigo, how is he...?

[externalmonologue]

Only because I find modesty to be charming outside of battle.

As for Daigo... Unconscious. Wounded. We injured Chaosmon with the attack, so I suspect he will have no regrets when he awakens.

...

At least, until he tries to move...

[lyricalmagical]

But, he's alive.

I'm... relieved. With all of that Digi-Soul, plus all of that dark magic... I didn't know how that would change the Breaker's impact...

[externalmonologue]

He's alive.

He withstood a swordsman when he was unarmed in his world. He fought against Skull Greymon when his partner could only reach Dobermon level in the Dark Area. And all of his training with you?

I didn't know if he would survive the plan, but if anyone could have survived, it was Daigo.

...

I owe him considerable hazard pay and quite a few medals for this...

[lyricalmagical]

Yes, I figured as much. I'm glad. Even if we couldn't hurt it much, that we could at least delay Chaosmon for a little while longer...

It was worth it, then.

But, yes. He's owed quite a lot. Everyone is.
