Stupid Touma.

He doesn't know what it's like. They don't know what it's like. None of them do...

They can be happy and normal and FREE whenever they want, they're not constantly fighting this stupid thing... Every waking moment, and even when I sleep...

Anyone who wants to complain and whine about what this virus has done to them... it'll all be over sooner rather than later, and I'll... still be...

...and no sooner do I get benched do they REPLACE me, and with what? Someone who, the MOMENT the virus takes effect, is afflicted with the sin of Wrath and has been locked away in the medical ward for nearly a WEEK now...

They don't know... they're lucky...

They don't have to deal with it...

Touma-san.

We need to talk.

[locked to Kouji]

...it almost happened again.

I was able to resist it - or rather, maybe it was just Hououmon's power, and... Lowemon was able to evolve normally, but...

I don't know how much longer I can hold this thing back, Kouji.

Commander Satsuma, Commander Daimon, Commander Yushima -

Have you seen what Taichi-san plans to do? After what I heard happened against Dagomon's forces, everything he's saying, the way he's talking...

...this is very worrying...

...sorry if I kind of up and vanished, guys. I couldn't find any of you (Junpei, Izumi, OR Chiaki) during the riot, and I sort of ran into a few of the others when they were on their way to rescue the prisoners the rioters had taken.

I couldn't just stand by, after everything I did to Hououmon did to help me... So BlackLeormon and I tried to help as best we could, though I'm not sure we made much of a difference...

...did you guys ever notice, back in our world, how Digimon levels didn't seem to really matter as much? Yeah, I guess I kind of took that for granted when Lowemon tried to fight a Perfect here. Doesn't... quite work as well. :\

I'm still in Tetha, for the moment, and everything seems to have calmed down... ...though something still feels weird here. I think it's time to leave...

I know I haven't said anything in awhile, but I figured it was best to allow myself and BlackLeormon to fully recover. There were a lot of things we had to sort out to get our heads straight, and I thank the rest of you for the encouragement you've given us both.

[locked to DATS; locked FROM everyone else, including Legendary Warriors]

To the people from DATS...

I know things are... kinda weird right now. But, um...

A couple of my friends have spoken to you about wanting to help, right? I'd... like to, as well, for the same reasons, but one slightly different one.

I want to do what I can to help this world, to stop these Demon Kings and anyone else who wants to bring harm to others, like this Kurata guy. But... I also can't fully trust myself, just yet. Even with Hououmon's assistance.

I know it's a lot to ask, but I'd like... there to be some way to do both this and, in case anything happens again... to be with those that have the means to stop me as soon as possible. It's either that, or I try to do this whole thing on my own... and I don't think that's possible. So... I want to help you.

Greetings.

I am the Warrior of Darkness. I have been known by many names throughout my time... AncientSphinxmon, Lowemon, KaiserLeomon... Duskmon. Velgmon. Currently, I am known as BlackLeormon.

Most everyone knows what happened the other day. I... regret this deeply, for all the pain that has been caused. To the life that was lost. To... Kouichi, for having to suffer because of my power once again...

I do not expect sympathy, of course. Far from it.

Hououmon has told you part of what has happened to Kouichi and myself. To elaborate upon that, though... you all deserve to know. The source of all this pain and sorrow, the one who has marked us with his accursed seal...

It was a being known as 'Daemon.'

[ooc - BlackLeormon's up and about again, and... back to normal, now, finally, thanks to Hououmon's Holy Ring. And, of course, the LAST time anyone heard from Daemon, he was forcing people into nightmares that showed their worlds being destroyed by Yggdrasil... so. Take it all as you will, folks.]

...I... I just woke up in this hospital room... I... still have this Digivice, I don't know where BlackLeormon is... the room is locked from the outside...

Why am I saying all this out loud..?

....I read everything...

Oh God. What have I done...?

...where... am I...?

I know this is the Digital World... our Digital World, but... this just doesn't seem right...

Lowemon - or, BlackLeormon now - has a body now... but...

I have such a headache... Kouji? Are you out there?

[ooc - Strikes UNREADABLE.]
