A collection of diary entries, dates unknown. All have been determined to concern important individuals in Rinji's life.
Why does one visit the beach? Is it to witness the beautiful scenery? The way the light glances off the waves? To hear the crisp noise of waves crashing endlessly? To see the infinitely blue sky stretch right into the ocean? To witness the monstrous towering cumulus clouds hover effortlessly above?
Or maybe you’re like Rinji, a common digimon. One that subconsciously appreciates all that is around him but would be entirely unable to express this in words. Many are like this. There is nothing wrong with that.
Right now, the Scolomon is lying in the sand. He reminds me of a centipede nestled beneath desert, waiting for its prey. Except that the last thing he’d do is strike and kill you. I believe he’d be more likely to turn around and hug you.
This isn’t necessarily a good thing. What is a creature that can’t strike fear into its opponents? He has been given the tools to intimidate yet refuses, or is unable, to use them. It is baffling to the mind.
Instead he lies on the beach, just out of reach from the sun. Eventually, he gets up. Travels to the salting waters of the sea. Beckons me to come with him.
I agree.
Do not mistake me for a lover of the romantic. An appreciator of the small things. In the end, those will never matter. But there is little point in refusing to participate in enjoyable activities.
I’m a foot deep into the waters. Water is somewhat foreign to me. Where I am from, it is of little concern. Now it feels as if there is simply too much.
Otherwise? It’s relaxing. I can understand why some express so much love for it.
Rinji splashes me with some of it. He smiles, almost questioningly, as if he’s asking me if it’s alright to join in.
I do.
I smile back.
We play together.
It puts my mind at ease.

I’ve brought them to the ocean. It’s a beautiful place. One that all digimon deserve to see.
They’re young, and I am old. So they play together. I’ve noticed one is shyer than the other, but the other refuses to do anything without her older brother. Maybe it’s for the best, considering her… difficulties. I worry for her future.
They’re too young to speak yet, but I supervise them anyway. I’m halfway out from the ocean, lower half dipped into the water, upper in the sand. I’m a large digimon, a fact that they love.
The children play on top of me. I suppose they think I’m a good slide. Really, it’s useful to be this shape, a fact I’m sure they’ll appreciate when they’re older.
I sigh exhaustedly. Children are tiring.
But I’m sure they’ll grow up to be wonderful people.

I’ve brought him down to the beach! It’s wonderful for us to finally be together again. That day with the storm after our mother… No, today is not a day for that.
Instead, we’ve been reunited! I think he was a little bit shocked at everything’s that’s happened, but eventually he was grateful for it. If I’m honest, I think I’d feel awfully guilty if he weren’t, but in the end I’ll only ever do what I think is best. Even if it hurts in the short term.
We’ve lost everything, but now we’re here. We have new friends, a new family, it’s a new start. The ocean is gorgeous.
I tell him that the sand is lovely as I stick my snout into it.
It tickles my nose.
Of course we had to devolve for today. Nobody wants salt and limestone stuck in their circuitry. But everyone is having a good time. Me and my brother especially.
Our friends are enjoying themselves too. But today is a special day. The day I get to spend with my brother. Away from work, away from stress.
I take him to the rock pools. We stick our heads into the puddles. I found a giant snail, and he got a starfish stuck on his nose! It’s funny to see someone so normally serious and professional act silly, but as his sister? I get a special ticket, don’t I?
Afterwards he suggests we go diving into the reefs. So that’s what we do. He was the first to dive down and I followed him. When we saw all the fish… why, it was breath taking. I can’t really describe all the wonderful colours that we saw.
It’s rare that I ever get to just… relax with him. Normally I guess people would describe me as cold and uptight, and my brother as warm but detached. Really, if any of my friends read this, they should realise that we’re just trying to do our best at our jobs.
There’s a time and a place for everything, now isn’t there? I can’t go acting like a little girl when there’s work to be done and problems to solve.
But enough of that now. I have today off, since it’s been too hot for us to travel the roads. So I think I’ll put down the diary and go for another swim!

I went to the beach today, in White Water. It’s really the only place for a digimon to visit the beach. I guess unless I decided to use my holosuit and visit Earth instead. But I’d rather not be forced to walk on two legs and worry about my disguise.
My friends were busy, so I had to visit on my own. It’s nice, but there’s not much to do when you’re on your own.
Since it’s been so hot lately, I decided not to sun bathe. I’m sure that might’ve been suicide.
So instead I went swimming. I think some digimon think that I can’t swim, which is why I got some weird looks. I even had one of my friends assume I couldn’t jump either, but I can do that too.
I did a lap around the water. Eventually though, I just settled for laying still and floating on top of it. Maybe visiting the beach would be more fun if I took a friend. I think I’ll do that.
