"I can't blame you for sentimentality, Nara'a, not without spontaneously- combusting out of sheer hypocrisy, at any rate." He laughed, a little, taking a drink. "It's good you keep in touch with them, at least. I'm sure they're proud of you, truly. Life with Estinien, at least, has taught me that... just because someone isn't the best at communicating love, doesn't mean it isn't there."
Gazimon frowned. "I... kinda get the stereotypin' thing. Not so much the way other digimon treat us, but... you look at most of the old stories and Virus-types're all bad guys. Maybe there's one or two who turned out alright, but even then they usually got somethin' wrong with 'em. And you almost friggin' never hear about anything like me. Gazimon don't tend to show up as anything other than faceless goons in the background... I used to think they'd gotten it wrong. That any day somebody was gonna show up all... 'Oh, sorry, Mister Gazimon, there's been a terrible mistake, got your paperwork mixed up with this Patamon's, you're free to go'. I know that's dumb, but there it is. Just 'cos people tell you 'oh hey, no worries, you ain't like that... don't mean it don't hurt they think that about other people like you."
