[There's a sad little noise]

I think I found out what my loss is.

I can't eat bread anymore. It's one of the worst things ever! Because bread is delicious and I really, really miss it.

[He was raised by a very kind boy!]

I'm Guilmon. Nice to meet you. [he'll giggle] Well, kinda.

[cyan_maid]

Guilmon...?

That is the most...interesting name I have heard since I came here!

[digitalhazard]

Uh-huh. Takato named me.

[cyan_maid]

[There's a pause.]

He's certainly...creative, when it comes to names.

[She's torn between wondering if someone might be trying to pull the wool over her eyes, and feeling bad that she's wondering that, because really, Guilmon doesn't sound like he's causing mischief on purpose.]

[digitalhazard]

I like my name.

[Guilmon doesn't lie, he's just... a very strange Digimon. Let's go with that.]

[cyan_maid]

I hope you would. You've got to live with it, after all.

[She's going to pry slowly to try and figure out if he's telling the truth. Direct confrontation about "lies" never ends well, in her experience.]

If you will pardon my curiosity, could I ask how old you are?

[digitalhazard]

Mrr, me? ... I think it's been a year? [It sure seemed like a year anyway.]

[cyan_maid]

[Whaaaat?!]

How can you only be a year old?!

[digitalhazard]

I dunno, that's just how it is. [There's a very "just how it goes"! tone to his voice]

[cyan_maid]

But how can that be right? No human can talk like that if they are only a year old...

[And then it hits her!]

Wait a minute! Guilmon, you're not human, are you?

[digitalhazard]

I'm not. I'm a Digimon.

[cyan_maid]

...Forgive me for being a bit rude, but what in landsakes is a Digimon?!

[digitalhazard]

It's a Digital Monster.

But don't worry, we're not all scary.

[cyan_maid]

A...digital monster.

What exactly makes you digital? You're not some kind of...I don't know, computer program, are you?

[digitalhazard]

I'm from the Digital World, kinda sorta.

So I guess that's what I am.

[cyan_maid]

I have never, ever heard of a place like that...

But I do know that people and...monsters, too, come here from all sorts of places. I suppose a digital world is not too far far-fetched a place.

[digitalhazard]

There's a lot of places in it. And there are a lot of people from a lot of different places here too.

[cyan_maid]

Yes, exactly. It can be absolutely mind-boggling.
