We'll stay together
Forever and ever ...
((Headphones pulled off))
RUKI
W-What's your problem?
RYO
Yo, Ruki.
RUKI
R-Ryo?! What are you doing here?
RYO
I'm here for a Digimon Card Tournament exhibition. You're not coming to them anymore.
RUKI
I've already graduated.
RYO
[chuckles] Well, I guess it can't be helped since you're a girl.
RUKI
That has nothing to do with it!!
RYO
[cringe] Sorry, sorry. You were always strong in stuff that didn't concern gender anyway.
RUKI
Did you just show up in front of me so you could prattle about old times?
RYO
I see you haven't changed. We haven't seen each other in so long. It won't hurt to be pleasant once in awhile.
RUKI
[sigh] You're the one who hasn't changed. [giggle]
RYO
I got a text message from Jian on my cell.
RUKI
Eh?
RYO
I just finished recording my message at Jian's place.
... I heard from him that you were against sending a message to Renamon.
RUKI
What does it matter? Just go ahead and send them, it has nothing to do with me.
RYO
But ...
RUKI
Besides, I can't agree with this! I had to separate from Renamon, and not being able to see her again ...
RYO
You don't know that.
RUKI
Then when can I see her? Tomorrow? A week later? The day after tomorrow? In ten years? When?!
RYO
T-That's why ... everyone's researching on the Digimon and the Digital World ... even Jian ...
RUKI
This is absurd!
((RUKI runs off.))
RYO
Ruki! Wait!
RYO
Ruki ...
