Being a fugitive from the law certainly wasn't how Satsuma expected his life to turn out. He had once been a detective, working for the police. And yet, there he was, temporarily hiding out at the Daimon household, jumping up to look outside every time he heard a car pass by.

 

It was making him paranoid.

 

Masaru and the others had already gone to retrieve the Noguchis. Shirokawa and Kurosaki, meanwhile, had gone to the Japanese Alps to scout the area. It wasn't a good idea for such a large group of people to leave the same place all at once, so Satsuma and Kudamon were biding their time before moving out. They were the last ones left…

 

“You know…”

 

Satsuma blinked a bit, he and Kudamon both simultaneously looking to see Masaru's mother, Sayuri, standing behind them.

 

“I know it seems petty to say this now, but for years, I really tried to hate you.”

 

Satsuma looked away, back out the window. He had been honestly expecting something like that for a while.

 

“You and Yushima-san both. You appeared at our doorstep, and after that, because of that, my Suguru was gone… when Masaru joined DATS, I somehow knew you were apart of it. And again, that thought resurfaced.”

 

Satsuma bowed his head. “I'm sorr-“

 

“But that was a lie, I realized. Even when you tried to see if Chika was the same as Suguru and Masaru… I knew I couldn't hate you for it, because it wouldn't have made a difference. Masaru's a better person because of Agumon, and that would have happened regardless… but it's thanks to you he can still be with Agumon. And Suguru… he would have found and gone to that world all by himself if he could have. I know that too well. So I just wanted to tell you I'm sorry, even if I've never spoken those words to you…”

 

Satsuma finally looked back at her. “You would have every right to hate me for all of that. But… I thank you. Don't worry about Masaru, I think we all know he can take care of himself. But, regardless of that, even if it cost us our lives… We'll make certain to protect him. It's more important than anything else that those young people carry on.”

 

Kudamon nodded. “After all, if not for your son's strength spurring on everyone else, we might not have any hope at all by this point. And Professor Daimon-“

 

“He'll be back,” Sayuri said, firmly. “He and Masaru both will be back… soon. They wouldn't let us down. And I know you two won't, either.” She smiled. “Please be safe, Satsuma-san. And thank you for everything.”

 

Satsuma nodded, briefly touching the Digivice in his pocket.

 

He had sat back for too long. He would protect those whose safety he had been charged with.

 

It was time.
