I kind of don't...know how she knows me. I asked her, but she wouldn't say.

I met someone here from a completely different timeline. So I'm guessing your--Tamer--Machi--might've met me in the future or something.

...Shit, thought I'd finally get her to talk to me...

You and that Moji kid? She was talkin' to him too, for a little. Fuckin' weird, but the lousy god 'a this place's done worse.

Wait.

There's no way she can know Moji. On my timeline, Moji was only a few minutes away from dying.

I looked at her conversation with 'im. She knew his name. She doesn't talk to new people, she had ta know him.

I am so confused. Luna said she thought that maybe--

...Shit. Wait. Alternate Earths.

Oh, shit.

Don't leave me hangin', kid. Why's my Tamer suddenly pokin' around the comms?

Okay. Here's the thing.

Apparently, where we come from, there are a lot of different versions of a single planet. That'd be Earth. I've met people from those different Earths. I never thought there were duplicates of those people, but I'm guessing she knows a Me who knows a Her. On her version of Earth. Same for Moji.

Yggdrasil. The shitty god of the Digital World. He's the one who snatches up Tamers and decides to bring 'em here. Then leaves 'em to fend for themselves, plopping in the worst places and not caring if they get offed.

...

You sure his name isn't Dung Beetle?

...Positive. Ygg-fuckin'-drasil.

[Thoughtful.] Yoko called me that once, though. Didn't say anything else about it. Annoying as hell.

Now that you mention it, I think Luna's--partner-person--said a name like that. Was kind of busy freaking out at the time, but...

She did? She must know him too. I bet she told you about the Game she played, right? See, there's this floating thing--this little shit called Dung Beetle, and it acts like a go-between for the people playing the Game and the...well, Game. He's a total asshole. Doesn't tell you what you need to know and lets you muck it out for yourself.

Poor girl. Didn't know she had to endure him too.

...Game...? What the fuck...? Kid, my Tamer hasn't told me a thing about her life before the Digital World. I know what I know about her because she either lets something slip or I dig around through her entries.

...Holy hell.

Okay, you need to know this. You really need to know this. Because I'm positive she's played the Game now and--you really need to know.

Where we come from, there's a battle between those Earths to see which ones are fit to survive. People get chosen to pilot robots and they duke it out, one-on-one. You die right after you pilot the robot. The loser's Earth vanishes and the winner's Earth stays around a little while longer.

I'm guessing she didn't pilot for her Earth, since she's not dead--but I'm positive she knew the people who did.

[Long pause.]

I guess this explains why her digi-soul looks like a fuckin' robot.

That's-- she showed up in a coma. Took care of her for...shit, over a year before she woke up, but I never thought she was mixed up in-- shit.
