>Suggest that Seadramon stick with Liza for a bit. Some companionship will do her good. However, you can't fully trust either of them to stay out of trouble. Encouraging this could lead to unforeseen behavior, even if it helps Liza cope and stops her from being fully alone.

"Hey, just an idea- Maybe you could stay with her for a bit, Seadramon?"

"Huh?"

"As a favor to you? Sure. I've got nothing much going on."

"Hold on, I think- I think I'll be okay by myself."

"Come on, you told me earlier that you felt lost. Like you had nowhere to go now that you're by yourself. Seadramon popping up is a good omen."

"I just need time by myself. I want to see if there's anything I can do about this data, if there's anyone I can go to for a Digivice, something to get him back..."

"And isn't it better to have an ally for that?"

"Hey, if she doesn't want me along for the ride, I'm not fussed. Sewers are big, there's plenty to do."

"You probably won't get this chance again, Liza." You say, stepping closer to her.

"I don't know..."

"It's not like you're replacing Leomon or anything. You said you wanted to find a way to bring him back with the packet I gave you, but can you do that if you get eaten by a Digimon down here? Or podded by the bots? Just let Seadramon help you for a while."

She looks at the large serpent wistfully. It takes her several more long moments of hesitation, but she finally nods and continues walking.

"Okay. Thanks, Seadramon. I appreciate the help."

You finally come across the beacon. A quick scan of it reveals that it links itself to a maintenance booth by the foot of a train station. Thanks to the Encryption suite you got from Doc, you're able to fake your credentials and prevent them from logging your usage. You prepare to utilize it.

"I'll go ahead first, Liza. You two should work out details down here. Don't take big risks, okay? You need to stay alert."

They both nod.

"Don't worry, I'll take care of this one! Maybe having a human to help out will let me grow faster, huh?"

"Shame you can't leave the sewers looking like that, you'd get caught instantly."

"Can I... Can I get your contact? In case I-"

You swipe your contact details towards her without hesitation, then place one hand on the beacon.

"Good luck. With whatever you do."

"Thanks, Marnie, Phascomon. I don't think I'd have even made it this far without you two..."

"Least we could do." He replies, with an oddly strained tone.

The both of you activate the teleportation device and pop out of sight. The rush of junk data is replaced by the powerful roar of an approaching train, with the sounds of traffic audible in the background. You nearly collapse to the ground in relief. Finally, you're back on the surface.
