Katherine:

“JAZZ!” (Yelling)

Jazz:

“What’s wrong!?” (Enters the room promptly and gasps loudly too.) “Careful!” (Places herself between Katherine and the newcomer)

Kona:

“Don’t be so loud, Pu. I think humans don’t like that. Although you probably should know better.”

Katherine:

“How did you get here? What do you want?”

Kona:

“I think that is not the proper way to introduce, Pu. Still… considering what you have been through lately, I guess it’s only normal for you to be wary of a new digimon.”

Jazz:

“Pucchiemon…”

Kona:

“Yes. That’s what I am, Pu. My name is Kona, though. Don’t worry, I didn’t come to fight. I leave being insensitive brutes to the Numa Empire soldiers.”

Katherine:

“What do you know about the Numa Empire?”

Kona:

“Not a lot more than what I assume the princess has already told you, sadly. I thank you a lot for taking care of her during these troubling days. In the name of the Hana Empire. Thank you so much, Pu!” (Kona Bows respectfully.)

Katherine:

“So you’re a servant of Alissa.” (Walks by Jazz and re-enters the room properly, getting close to the bed where Kona is sitting.) “It’s nice to meet you. I am Katherine, and this is Jazz.”

Kona:

“I know who you are, Pu. I have been observing you. I had to… make sure you didn’t represent any danger for the princess. Although, if you had… I don’t know if I could have done much. I’m definitely not a fighter, Pu.”

Arianna:

“She is definitely good at hiding her presence, though. According to what she said, she started following us not long after Alissa arrived. I wasn’t able to detect her presence a single time. It is truly amazing.” (A towel wrapped around her body, Arianna enters the bedroom.) “Sorry. You just happened to arrive while I took a shower. How is Alissa?” (Looks at Jazz)

Jazz:

“She is okay. So… you let him enter?”

Arianna:

“Not quite. He went in by the window while I waited for you.”

Kona:

“I just decided this was the right time to approach you, Pu. I now know you can be trusted, so we can work together to help the Princess.”

Katherine:

“Why didn’t you appear in front of her? I’m sure she would be glad to see you.” (Takes a sit in her computer chair).

Kona:

“I don’t think I can do anything to bring peace to the Princess' heart right now, Pu. I cannot provide any of the answers either she or you seek.”

Jazz:

“Don’t you know where the Hana Empire is?”

Kona:

“If you knew that, would you be able to fend off the evil that has posed upon our land? Would you be able to put up a fight?”

Jazz:

“We…” (Clenches teeth)

Arianna:

“He has a point. Until we haven’t found a way of overcoming those guys’ abilities, we probably wouldn’t be of any use there.”

Katherine:

“So I assume you don’t know how to defeat them. Don't you know what type of technique they're using either?”

Kona shakes his head.

Kona:

“After the attack occurred, I woke up in the middle of the desert. The memories of how to get to our Kingdom had been erased from my head. The Princess and I share a special bond, Pu. That bond was what made it possible for me to find her and come to your world.”

Katherine frolics with her hair while she listens to Kona

Katherine:

“And still… I assume you have something to tell us. There is something you know if you have appeared in front of us now that you have decided we can be trusted.”

Kona:

“That is right. I might not know where the Hana Kingdom is located, but… I know the princess knows. And I know that I used to know, Pu.”

Jazz:

“Does that mean…?”

Arianna:

“You’re absolutely sure someone is playing with your memories. Someone suppressed or stole the information about the location of the Hana Kingdom from yours and Alissa’s head.”

Kona:

“Exactly. And I think I know how to make the princess remember, Pu. Actually, who knows how much we can make her remember through this method.”

Katherine:

“Method…? Tell us. How can we make those memories resurge?”

Kona sighs.

Kona:

“As I’ve said, I’ve been looking at you for a while now. I also looked at the princess and… I can conclude you’re right: she was poisoned. While through your cares you’ve been able to put the Princess off danger, I guess you can assume she’s not healed yet. Well… I believe that’s because this substance’s goal was not to kill her."

Katherine:

“Yes. We had reached more or less the same conclusion. We believe the Numa Empire is not trying to kill her but… actually get access to something else through her.”

Kona nods.

Kona:

“I can’t be sure about this but… I would argue that thing they’re after is inside her head.”

Arianna:

“Inside her head…”

Kona:

“They are trying to debilitate her mentally in order to get access to her head, somehow. As a secondary effect, her physical condition has also deteriorated. So… I feel the lack of memories in her head are caused by this substance debilitating her mind.”

Arianna:

“Wouldn’t that mean you were subjected to this same substance?”

Kona:

“It probably does. That’s why some of my memories have been suppressed.”

Katherine wonders how is this digimon still standing and what amount of will he holds, considering what the poison was capable of doing to Alissa.

Kona:

“However, the antidote I have for the Princess won’t work on myself since I am immune to my own powers." (Shakes his head) "But that doesn't matter. We just need the princess to get better.”

Jazz:

“So… what is it? What’s the antidote?”

Kona extends his hands. A shiny light starts glowing at the center of his palms. When the light fades, two small crystal boxes become visible. They both hold a heart-shaped relic inside. It glows in a dim red and green light respectively.

Kona:

“These are my Love Lockets. When they're full and used together, they are capable of bringing peace to the mind, the soul and the body of the one who puts them close to their own heart. Then, they will empty again and will have to be filled again.”

Jazz:

“Bring peace to the mind, the soul and the body…” (Jazz leans forward to look at the lockets from up close). Does that mean that they can heal them mentally, spiritually and physically?

Kona nods firmly.

Arianna: 

“What do you mean with… being filled?”

Kona:

“Right now, they’re not ready to be used. They must be filled with authentic feelings of love. The romantic nature of these sentiments is necessary to fill the Love Lockets and turn them into usable items.”

Katherine:

“So… the love I have for Jazz and Arianna won’t work.”

Arianna:

“Pucchiemon is a digimon associated with romanticism and passionate feelings. So… I guess this makes sense. Although I had never seen one who could do something like this.”

Kona:

“I am far from everyone I know so… As you can imagine, I cannot fill these. That’s why… I’ve come to you. Please, fill these and save the princess!” (Kona bows again, this time speaking intensively.”

Katherine:

“B-But… there are two Love Lockets! You said we are supposed to use them together right?”

Kona:

“The feelings that fill these lockets must be the ones of two combined entities each. That means, once one of the lockets is filled, the other one can’t be filled by the same couple.”

Katherine:

“That… only makes things harder.”

Jazz takes one of the Love Lockets swiftly.

Jazz:

“I know who I can fill this with. You two must take care of the other one.”

Arianna and Katherine:

“Y-You do!?”

Kona:

“That’s good, Pu. Who’s taking care of the other one, then?”

Katherine takes the locket.

Katherine:

“I have… no idea of who I can fill this with. N-Not anymore, at least…”

Arianna:

“Don’t look at me! That type of stuff is just too embarrassing for me to engage on!”

Kona:

“Trust me. You will know when the Love Lockets are full. For now… I think... I will… nap.” (Kona accommodates on Katherine's bed and closes his eyes).

Arianna:

“If he’s as sick as Alissa was, what he has endured is amazing. I suppose it’s only logical he’s very tired.”

Katherine:

“H-He’s… sleeping on my bed.”
