Summary: While recovering, Kouichi contemplates the path his life has taken recently.
Disclaimer: Digimon copyright BANDAI and this derivative work was created without permission.


Even with his family -- and his brother! -- visiting, Kouichi had a lot of time recovering in the hospital to think.

-- If he hadn't met the dark Trailmon in the station, he never would have become Duskmon. He'd never have to live with the memories of fighting Kouji and friends, nearly losing his humanity.

-- If he hadn't met the dark Trailmon, he would have died on the operating table. That's not what his doctors said, but they speak to his mother about close calls and head injuries when they think he's asleep. It was Kouji and his friends that saved him, by some act of carrying the miracles of heroes into the real world.

-- If he hadn't seen his brother heading into the recesses of the train station, following a message from another world, or if Ophanimon hadn't called out to Kouji, or if Kouji hadn't charged his phone that day, then he wouldn't have fallen down the stairs and needed to worry about dying or some kind of journey in spirit instead of body.

But then, he never -- well, not now, at least -- gotten to speak to Kouji, to know him as a brother rather than a name and a missing spot in his heart. He would have never met his father, gotten to introduce Kouji to their mother.

The sadness ran with the joy, and, despite the pain, it all came together in a way that made healing, made life, possible.
