The egg of Kuzuhamon is still floating right in front of you, like she's watching you. You smile sadly at her egg and shake your head. "It's over for you. You won't remember me after being born..." You feel a gentle hand on your cheek. It's a projection of her. "When I'm born, I'll seek you until the ends of this world. So that our bond would never fade away" her projection says and takes a hold of the hand of yours with the faded mark of friendship. "Mark my egg with the favor and I'll be able to find you even if I lost my memories." Her hands hold your palm against her chest, specifically where the egg is. You concentrate, leaving the mark on the egg. She smiles but you turn your face away, having shining blue tears flow out of your eyes.

For the first and last time, you feel her arms wrap around you. Her embrace is like a mother's, soothing you. The scratches, bruises and wounds Leviamon gave you disappear while you're in the embrace. "These were the last flickering flames of my power. I'm glad I got to help you in the end, (Y/N)..." Her form fades away and the egg starts floating upwards to the Village of Beginnings. "Good bye Kuzuhamon. I hope you'll grow up well" you mutter before sighing.

You swim back to the room the fight started in. "Divermon. You're free to go. Come with me, let's get out of the Dark Area." The flock of hundreds of Divermon gathers after you. It seems they were trapped in the Dark Area too. At the edge where the red and blue sea meet, you see a swirling black and red patterned barrier. You take the Code Key of Envy in your fingers, showing it to the barrier. It fades away from the one spot and lets you and the Divermon through. Then you swim up to the surface, seeing the top of the tower you just left. The tattoo-like blue markings on your face fade away. You say goodbye to the flock and wave at them before getting to the top of the tower to dry yourself.

You examine the Code Key in your hand, poking at it. It seems that it's not accepting you either. After that you put it away with the Code Key of Pride and have your energy wrap around you. It turns into a warm breeze that dries your clothes quick. Then you look into the horizon, seeing the sun's rising. The digivice informs you to continue your journey to another direction, a bit off from the direction you came from. "Hey, give me another place to go... I don't want to go back to him" you talk to the device but it doesn't answer. "...Fine" you grunt and form the wings, flying up and forward to the destination.

You reach Beelzemon's tower and land in front of the door. You open the door to the bottom floor and walk inside cautiously. A few Bakemon welcome you in an enthusiastic manner. You look away as they ask where you were, signing you don't wish to talk about it. "Is he awake yet?" One of the Bakemon shakes its head and you thank it before walking upstairs. You open the door to his quarters and see him snoring there in his bed. He's holding a half empty bottle of liquor on his hand.

You feel tired for staying up nearly two days straight and stretch, yawning. Then you walk to the bed, poke his cheek and see he has no reaction. You use your foot to push him off the bed and look at him continue his sleep on the floor. You conquer the bed and the blanket and the pillows to yourself, making a nest for yourself. You feel satisfied for making him sleep on the floor. Assholes don't get to sleep in beds.

You wake up to the feeling of a familiar embrace and the smell of liquor. He's holding you and he's destroyed your nest. You feel anxious since he's so close to you but luckily he's sleeping. His mouth is slowly getting closer to the crook on your neck and you remember the horrors of last time. The wounds that aren't there anymore start aching and you start crying a little before his lips lay a kiss on the spot. You're so startled that you gather energy to your body to augment your muscles, throwing him over your shoulder to the nearest wall upside down. "GET AWAY FROM ME!" you yell, drying your tears and glare at him. He gets up, groaning. "Ughh... What a headache..." He grabs the nearest bottle on the table, downing it. Then he opens his eyes, dropping the bottle.

"When'd ya come back?" he asks as the bottle shatters to the ground. "At sunrise. I didn't feel like returning but this stupid auto-mapping function led me here" you answer, still glaring at him. "Give me a bottle. I need to be wasted to be able to stay. Full offense." You sigh and look away. You still hate him but it seems like you've got no choice in the matter. He gives you a bottle and stays quiet. "Oh yer here just to leech off my booze. Nice, didn't even want to see you anymore though. Betchu been fucking that asshole I gave my part of Love. How was his dick? Liked it? Better than mine? Not that I give a fuck."

You down half of the bottle he gave and sigh taking out the two code keys. "Oh, do these explain anything? They don't accept me though." He grins at you. "Murdered him in his sleep? I could expect that from ya." You shake your head. "Just... Help me figure out what to do with these. It's been hell for the last four days. Lost a new friend I saved and stuff." He lights up a cigarette.

After exhaling some of the smoke, he walks to you, takes a chair and turns it around to have the back of it face you before sitting on it, facing you and leaning against the back of the chair.
