While you slide down the side of a building and drop into an alley, Phascomon fields another question.

"Hey... Do you think we did the right thing?"

"What do you mean? With Seadramon?"

"No, earlier than that. If we joined the fight earlier, helped them fight back against Sealsdramon-"

You think about it. Maybe. If there had been another party to assist, the tides may have shifted. If all three of the Champion Digimon were at full strength, it could have gone a different way.

But you push the thought out of your mind. There are too many factors in play to go over every one of your past decisions. If you didn't stay down there, the Espimon stealth squad would have attacked the other Dogs of War. If you didn't spend time waiting, you might not have unpacked the pivotal OOPART. While you certainly could have achieved a better result at SOME point or another... You don't want to upset yourself by lingering on possibilities.

"I don't know. I think it could have gone either way. But it didn't. We just have to-"

"Move on? Maybe. But I keep thinking about it. So many places where it could have gone wrong. Like if we didn't get you out before they put a pod around you, or if..."

He paces back and forth on the screen.

"Hey, hey- What's wrong, Phascomon? You don't usually doubt yourself so much."

"It's just... Now that our goal in really in sight, I'm starting to think about these things. I've got all this power now, it won't be like before, where we had to go with the flow because we couldn't help it. Now that I have the strength to change things, I want to make sure I make the right choices."

You look up at the brilliant light of the tower, and the light beam that tears into the center of the eternal vortex.

"We'll make them together. Okay? Whatever it takes to get out of here and achieve our dreams."

"Okay. All the way. Till we get to see the world out there." He says.

And with that, you hit the road once more, plenty of thoughts racing through both your minds as you finish your journey home.

Tomorrow will be a new day.
