[The child just tilts her head, looking at Ichinose oddly.
"That's how you've lived your life, huh? If it's broken, it's not worth playing with.
Just like how you're broken. You didn't even cry over your parents. Why would anyone want to bother with you? No one will ever understand you, and let's face it—why would you be worth the effort? You're better off discarded."
The girl leans forward. "Or have you finally learned what a heart is?"
Garen speaks.
"You call for strangers to help you? Are you unable to help yourself?"
Lux will find that though her magic is being drained, it isn't fully gone. She might, at the very least, have enough to break free.
Lalli struggles, and he might get the sense he's... using some sort of power? Nothing appears to happen, though, and he might not even be sure of what power he's unleashing.
He tries to swim to the surface, but before he can reach it, the creature wraps its tail around him, pulling him further under.
The voice again speaks, to Yamato.
"Shouldn't you worry more for yourself? Imagine if you're trapped here... if you can't be saved, either. Everyone would have to leave without you, move on.
Gabumon forgot about you once, didn't he? Given enough time, so will the others. Taichi, Takeru... your friends and family—why would they bother to hold onto you?"
After a pause, it speaks again.
"But in honour of your devotion to those you love, you will be given a chance. Pain may awaken them from their nightmares. Stab them, injure them, and you will set them free."
Yamato will... awaken? He seems to be in that gas chamber again, with Lalli, Lux, and Ichinose injured and unconscious. Oddly, he's now holding a knife in his hand.
Finally, a few more things happen:
During all this, Ichinose will feel a sharp pain in her non-dominant hand. Lux will momentarily feel her breath knocked out of her, as if something blunt slammed into her chest.
