"Is this?" Nanami asked to her floating partner beside her. Ariamon nodded curtly. Despite it's still the Trailmon Terminal, they already arrived in Digital World. The reason why they're here in the first place is because they're interested in what Tatsuya said back then... but deciding that depending too much on him would be just too much for the girl, she decided to go with her trusted partner beside her. Ariamon sort of disagreeing her partner's decision... It's obvious because she's a full support Digimon, and high chance she cannot help Nanami at all in this kind of world... Yet, Nanami managed to tell her they'll be staying in the city for now, then back again before anyone notices it. With much deliberation, Ariamon complies.
"...The flow of the data... perhaps it's perfect to initiate the sequence, but we'll need more research first... Nanami, please, whatever you do, let's not get into trouble. If you die, then so will I. Your family would be really devastated... If I need more than this then we have no choice but to ask for help."
"I understand... but what to do right now?"
"For now, I'm suggesting that we first survey for place where we can do 'that process' without any interruption. As I don't know how fast the time will fly here, best to return quickly. If Tatsuya asked your whereabout, answer truthfully."
"...I got it... Can we really do nothing? I mean..."
"I understand that you don't want to tie him down just for your selfishness and you want to back him up if needed, but first, please understand my limitation in this form. Do not act headstrong if you can help it."
"...OK, I got it."
"Excellent... now, let's proceed to survey some inns and hotels alike... House might be good, but that kind of money is simply impossible for us currently."
And so, the tamer and partner start to move out from the terminal, to greet the city

UFADO looked upon the jewels once more, a small crowd had gathered around him as his sistems analised it's structure and composition.
"No, I was correct the first time. This jewel is not a jewel. It's a small piece of painted glass with a few pieces of wood inside it." UFADO concluded as he returned the "jewel" to the salesmen.
"You're a lier. Of course it's a jewel. Only a blind digimon would miss that!" The Psychemon complained.
"Nope, it's not a jewel. I have just scanned it's complete stricture and composition. It's what I described." UFADO insisted.
"Hey maybe we should just call the security's expert. He'll be able to tell it to us without a shdow of a doubt." another mercahnt, a jewelbeemon suggested.
"Ok, ok, maybe it's not a jewel, but it's definetly a work of art. I mean who else but my granpa can put wood into glass like that?" The Pyschemon claimed, causing some turbulence amongst the crowd, some leaving due to the jewel being fake and others staying interested in the "work of art", nodding under the statement that only the Psychemon's grandfather could make something like that.
"Actually, humans have some of those in a larger version in about every single one of their houses." UFADO replied, making the Psychemon upset "And if you want any all you have to do is get on a trailmon there."
The crowd seemed to agree and the Psychemon bursted of angry that his sales didn't go well that day. The jewelbeemon reached out with his hand to UFADO.
"Thank you my friend, for helping me with that fraud of a Psychemon. I would make you a discount, but I have not been well this year so..."
The crowed just "buuued" the jewelbeemon, one of the digimon even calling him a thief something which clearly made the jewelbeemon a bit uncomfortable. Still, UFADO didn't care about any of that.
""Friend?" Yes, there's that word again. What does it mean?" UFADO asked.

Uneventful walk around the city, trying to avoid any sort of Digimon that would look nasty if they lose their temper... that''s all what Nanami could do as she followed Ariamon who floats in front of her, surveying some buildings, before going in to inn she find interesting enough, asking for the price and then go back out again after they've seen the room, telling something along the line of 'thank you very much, we hope we'll be staying here soon'. Of course, it's just some sort of way to tell them indirectly they will consider it, or reject the offer politely.
She's not sure to message Tatsuya or not. So far, nothing happened, but this world already making her a bit uneasy with all Digimons around, and for the girl that's new to this kind of world, this is thrilling, but at the same time, it's a bit of making her uneasy. However, she decides that she'll send him one, telling him she'll be alright. Nanami quickly opened her D-Terminal and begin to type:
To: Tatsuya Kazan <Tats> From: Mukaido Nanami <Nami> Subject: I'm fine
Sorry that I gone without telling you, Tats... I know I already left a message, but I figured maybe it'll make you a bit too worried if I don't send a message or something... I already surveyed some of the inn... most of them is quite pricey, but it's nothing that frustrating of a price. Ariamon said we can probably pool money just by waiting it over time. What time is it there? Have you already woke up? If you do, I left some BLT sandwich with my special sauce on the table with some juice... or if you don't like my choice of juice, just grab something else. I'll try to come back soon. Love you.
She sighed as she hit the sent button. She really don't want to make him worried, but is it impossible afterall? Yet now she understand how bad is it to space out when she almost fell after tripping on her own legs. Nanami yelped, but luckily, Ariamon already sprang to action and send her rotating orbs at Nanami, helping her back up.
"Careful, Nanami. Are you alright? You must be hungry because of this journey... you haven't even ate anything yet, too... why don't we go to one of the cafe to get something to eat?" Ariamon offered.
"Yes, I think that's a good idea..."
And so, Nanami walked to direction of nearest cafe when she saw something else...
"...UFADO-san? Is that you?"
She have no idea if it's really the same Digimon, or different Digimon altogether. However, she only can try to bet on it.

It seemed UFADO`s question was the most wakward thing he could say, as everyone went silent.The crowd soon began to disperse and even the jewelbeemon just left without answering more than some publicity junk to his store. UFADO didn`t stop them. he was confused by himself. Why did he care about what friends were? He was a weapon...So was it to gain allies? To spy on humans? To actually have...friends?
UFADO shook his head. No, his sistems couldn`t be that broke he would actually want something as petty as "friends". He should focus... he was inspecting the city. It was said the terminus had been built by Yggdrasil. If that was true, then the secret to defeating him might be here.
He headed for a nearby cafee. Yggdrasil was a show-off, he would likely try to hide things in public spots, in plain sight.
That`s when he was greeted by a familiar voice. He turned.
"Nanami, greetings! I see you now have a digimon of your own...Ariamon, if my sistems are not fooling me. They have had a tendency to break over the last few weeks." UFADO greeted the duo.

"Well, this honestly was a surprise... I thought that you might be a different Digimon altogether because it's seem Digimon species here are generic instead of something distinguishable like humans," Nanami explained, smiling a little. "and yes, my partner is Ariamon..."
"Pleasure to meet you, UFADO-san," Ariamon bowed politely. "Would you like to join us for a brunch? Although I said that, I have no use for eating, and mostly it's just Nanami. She haven't ate just yet."
Probably it'll be odd to see this extremely rare species on this kind of place, which existence is said as a myth, although nowhere famous enough to made everyone who saw her automatically notices that she's a very rare species which you can count with fingers of one hand and stopped before you're about to go to another hand. Ariamon is a very unique species that born from really strong synchronization of a tamer and someone who yet have a partner, but people obviously never knew about that, except Ariamons and their partners.
"I think it would be a good idea, although I don't know what you... errr.. eat," Nanami commented.

"Indeed, a suprise. Maybe a good suprise as well, Nanami? Anyway, I should tell you, I am unique. There's no other of my species anywhere in the digital world. And there will never be." UFADO replied, emotionless. He had been designed to be perfect, to make the world perfect. He had commited a rushed mistake and lost his body because of it. Now he was searching for it and had found a small portion. He doubted there was anyone else like him around the world(s). Afterwards, Ariamon, Nanami's partner, spoke and UFADO bowed back at her, something he learned was supposed to be a sign of respect, thought he usually forgot to do it."Nice to meet you too. Your offer sparkles my curiosity, Ariamon. What is a "brunch"?"
Then Nanami asked about what he ate, likely for this "brunch" of theirs.
"Eat? I rarely eat. I am packed with irreplaceable data. No sort of food is of use to me, except for my monthly renewal of energy." UFADO explained. " The amount of Ariamon's in either world is scarce. Maybe you know the meaning of the feelings that have been breaking my sistems. Maybe I can solve them with your help."
Yes, it was a possibility. He was having this feelings...loneliness they called it? Possibly. But why? He had laugthed, he had dreamed, he had been lonely...and none of that was suppose to happen.

"Ah, brunch is something you ate between breakfast and lunch, in case you haven't ate breakfast and therefore, it combines both meal and it's called 'brunch'. Apparently, it's a little bit... plenty compared to your normal breakfast or lunch as it's two portions of meal combined into one, but at the same time also cut so that you won't be too full eating it.... but that's according to what I heard from the maids in Nanami's house, hence I'm not so sure."
And it's seem that UFADO doesn't really eat, just like Ariamon herself.
"In that case, there's only eating for one. What a pity," Ariamon commented. Nanami simply politely smiles at the unknown Digimon until he asked something about feelings. Huh? Aren't Digimon by default born with emotions, just like human?
"Are you sure, UFADO-san? As I'm not an expert in emotions... I can help you, but I cannot assure you that my opinion won't be highly subjective," Nanami told him.
"Either way, you two, let's move to the nearest cafe before Nanami fainted of hunger..."

"Hm... So you didn't have breakfeast Nanami? I thought humans always took care of their feeding habits." UFADO commented on the explanation of what "brunch" was.
"It is not a pity, Ariamon. Afterall, you do spend less of that resource called money if you don't pay for a meal fir, don't you?" UFADO asked Ariamon.
Then Nanami proceeded to claim she wasn't an expert on feelings.
"I'm sorry, but you ARE and expert. You were born with feelings. Human feelings. And I have just began to feel them... And it hurts. Too much. I need to be cured of this if I ever am to find the rest of my body." UFADO explained. "But I agree with Ariamon, we should get going to your "brunch"."
They walked to the cafe, with UFADO accompanying the two females, pensative. He remembered a plausible explanation, or rather a theory o about this painfull feelings he had. Over the last few days, shards of strange feelings of recognising feelings started to crawl their way to him. Maybe those things were connected to his pain.
They arrived and were created by a Tukanomon
"Hi! Want something to eat. Today we're on a especial brunch menu with a large discount from two to three people. Humans are especially welcome in our cosy little cafe, so feel at home. Long story short: do you want a table?" the Tokanomon asked.

"That's not the case, UFADO-san. It's just... human tends to be really busy, and sometimes in return, forgot to maintain their eating habit... this is not really my habit, but as for today, I got quite the urgent business here, and I'll try to return as fast as I can to my world," Nanami explained.
"It's not about the pity that I don't eat, but it's a pity that Nanami have to eat alone, UFADO-san," Ariamon reasoned. "Humans gain better trust to one another if they do the same activity together, and doing everything alone would be lonely. That, I believe, applies to all sentient, sapient creatures. They form community and when they intersects, this is where they truly interacts."
As they approached the cafe, seem run by a Tukanomon.
"Yes, please and... ah, um... a brunch for one person only, please. My... companions doesn't eat," Nanami replied.
And so, she sat herself on the nearby chair, with Ariamon floating beside her, but seem to take 'sitting' posture midair.
"Well if you point it like that, I believe Ariamon is much more sensible one in this..." Nanami commented.
"I'm product of feelings, then bind together with Data. I can feel Nanami's feeling, and in return, I have better grasp over her emotions than the other. But I still believe that Nanami would be wiser than me in this case, UFADO-san... well, then Nanami?"
"...Ah, right, um... please, go ahead and tell me your problems, although like I said before, it might not be the most correct opinion objectively."

It seemed that it was an exception that Nanami hadn't eaten today.
"I see, so eating together helps strengthen your bond?" UFADO asked as he heard Ariamon's reply to him. "I mean not YOURS, but bonds between humans."
At the cfe, the tukanomom shook his head.
"Sorry, but it's two, three or none. Can't just backpedal on our menus." The tukanomon replied.
"Then just give us food for one and mark it as a table for two. You save money, and we get to have Nanami here eat her "brunch"." UFADO proposed. The tukanomon seemed pensative for a moment, but soon nodded and led them to a table.
There Ariamon and Nanami had a small fight over which one would answer UFADO's questions.
"I am sorry to disturb you with my problems, but I am growing worried...too worried, I'm afraid, to keep these problems to myself, as I don't seem to be able to solve them on my own." UFADO told the duo " I used to be focused on what I needed to do, to be powerfull, to be a constant. Yet, something has been chnaging in me since I fell. I am starting to have...strange feelings. I don't recognise them but...they hurt. They hurt a lot. I just want to get rid of them. They don't allow me to think, to focus anymore. I even began having these strange sintoms, laugthing or worse, dreaming. I never dreamt. I has never slept. But in that labyrint... I did. Something is wrong with me and my sistems are unable to identify what. I need help from who know about emotions."

"Well, to begin with, isn't that sign that you developed emotions, UFADO-san?" Nanami questioned, half not understanding how much it's that bad to the multi-eyed Digimon which looks rather... abnormal. "Logics may help you in most of the time, UFADO-san, but emotions sometimes will make you connected with the others. When you laugh, you're feeling happy... amused... then, when you dream, doesn't that mean you have a subconscious desire? I think that it's a gift, in a sense, UFADO-san. You can think and you can feel, therefore, you can sympathize and then you can understand peoples better."
She exhaled and looked up at the sky. Nanami paused and gathered her thoughts before continuing again.
"Well, another thing is that if you wanted to be strong, I don't think doing it alone would be way too much to bear if you starting to have emotions, UFADO-san. You will naturally yearns for companion, you'll feel jealousy and envy at those who got companion... and then, when you're not alone, in midst of friends, they would make you happy, you might be a little bit annoyed to them, but... then you'll appreciate their presence and wishes to spend time with them again. That's just how it is, what I think... perhaps, that hurting feeling could be... loneliness?"

"Connect? Maybe it could be a response from my sistem to help me gain allies?"UFADO asked "But how can I be happy if my goals were not achieved, but delayed? How can I have any kind of joy when I'm failing the sole reason for my existence? And yes, I have desires, I have memories...but dreaming requires sleeping and that is a waste of precious time which could be being used in achieving those desires, rather than remembering old turmoils. Logics, don't lie, my progamming was to set my purpouse, my life and yet this feelings...I don't even know where they came from!"
Afterwards Nanami spoke a bit more.
"Loneliness? I heard someone tell that to me before. My I never had companions before and yet now you claim that I want them so bad it hurts me...That's absurd. But then again, so are these sudden feelings. I need to know. What is this "friendship" I keep hearing about? I used to think it was some kind of alliance, but the way you act... I don't want joy, but I don't this pain I feel either." UFADO explained

"Your system aside," Nanami cuts politely "feelings are something that you would call... something that is 'against the system'. If system is bunch of pre-programmed logics and whatnots, then feelings basically works in a way that you can say, is a natural human-like response. Now, UFADO-san, of course I understand that your goal is your raison d'etre, but at the same time, now that you gained emotions, all your only hope to solve it to accept both side of you... the side that starting to gain emotions. Think it like this... if you have finished with your goal, what will you do after that? For that kind of reason, having emotions is better than simply not. You can muse of what you want to do by yourself without consulting the system. That's what I think."
Then, UFADO questioned about the source of his loneliness and what is friendship.
"...Those that called friends, are someone you cherish, whose company you enjoy and yearns for. Bond between you and your friend is called friendship. They're more than just acquaintance, they enjoy your presence like you enjoy them. Friends might not always be there for you when the situation calls for it, but most of the time, if you call for them, they would help you. Such are like comrades, but in a certain sense, their company alone is already enough. It's a concept with various meaning, UFADO-san, and not every human agrees on that. It's a sketchy explanation, isn't it? But that's how I think about friendship."

"A different...self? How is that even possible? How can I be two and be one at the same time? I have goals and emotions...one must be a curse and has to be eliminated. I can't say that I'm found of these...feelings. So far they only brought pain and turmoil. Don't you feel any pain from YOUR feelings? Do you, Ariamon?" UFADO inquired before Nanami explained friendship.
"Yes. I heard that before, in mouth of a man named Yaku. But if caring is what makes a friend, then truly I am unable to have them. I once cared about them...and I fell because of it." UFADO stated. That's when he heard a...familiar voice. Anger grew within him, mixed with fear. "Nananmi. I am not worthy of having friends, I am a weak being at the moment, but if I can have your trust, please come with me quickly."
Back in the cafe, the tukanomon was being questioned by a Etemon.
"I'm telling you, I did not see the digimon you're asking about." the tukanomon replied "But you are scarying my clients."
"I DON'T CARE ABOUT YOUR BUSINESS, tukanomon!" the etemon replied " I want that guy, NOW."

"...It's true that I can also feel hurt because I have feelings," Ariamon commented. "However, that is joy of life. You can experience pain, hardship, joy, love and many other feelings... That's the sign that you're 'alive'. If you only feel pain, then you'll eventually driven to brink of despair. If you only feel joy, then you'll eventually tired of those and then, you will also broke. This is why, two opposition sometimes must intersects to bring harmony."
"My sentiment exactly," Nanami commented.
However, their talk is quickly interrupted by something. UFADO seem to be scared and at the same time, angry about something. Ariamon perked up, her crystals rotating erratically.
"Anger in the air, an Etemon. Nanami, call Tatsuya right now. We can't be hasty, but please, call him and tell him to standby. I'm not strong enough to face an Etemon whatever form I'm in!" Ariamon assessed.
While she followed UFADO, Nanami quickly opened her D-Terminal and send message quickly:
To: Tatsuya Kazan <Tats> From: Mukaido Nanami <Nami> Subject: S.O.S.
Terminus City. Got problem with an Etemon Please go to a cafe ran by Tukanomon. I'll be hiding, don't start the fight, but please, come.
