[ Ishtar would take whatever he could offer to her as words. She didn't want him to think too hard on it helping her piece things together. ]
...Robots that were suppose to help you?
[ She replied with a frown on her face as he said that. By the sound it the whole situation probably turned really sour fast. Of course, her hunch was right when Takeru told that the robots started to attack them and that they were seen as friends before they went berserk. That's really not something she'd like to hear especially for a child to have to go through that. Ishtar didn't really know what to say other keeping her brows furrowed. ]
That's bad. I can't believe they'd do that to people. Especially those that you know have some serious trust issues or trauma. I can't imagine them being okay with this kind of set up at all. Oh-- wh-- what? I don't think it's a good idea to pick any of those sides. They're both involved somehow and the last thing we need is people here dividing up in different factions or groups. That's just screwed up.
[ Yeah Ishtar won't be taking that lying down nope. ]
[He didn't want to remember how he had to fight in order to win. He knew he had to in the Digital World and fighting was an important thing. But fighting against his friends? That was another thing entirely. He didn't a repeat of what happened between his parents and how nobody got along. He couldn't stand losing anyone else that was close to him.
And especially not in a place like this]
Which is why I hope that everyone here will choose something else. I don't want to ever fight any of my friends again! It was horrible enough having to see my brother fight Taichi-san, I think it's just as worse here!
[Of course, he also had to fight Taichi's robot too. Not that it was a pleasant experience but it just proved his point]
What makes them think they can do that to everyone?!
[ That's definitely a good thought to have and Ishtar probably didn't want it anymore than he did when it came to fighting but they don't really have much of a choice but to fight in general. She'll have to work around that somehow. Of course fighting would only be a last resort and even that she didn't want to do. Ishtar wanted to ensure that everyone could be happy without fighting but obviously it's impractical and unrealistic. She was too idealistic for her own good sometimes. ]
Same. Let's hope that they have good enough hearts and brains to avoid these stupid pointless fights. There's nothing we can't talk about before actually taking action.
[ Fighting anything that looks like your friends and family isn't exactly pleasant. She would know. ]
[Of course, while fighting was a last resort, it didn't stop from using force. And the worse part was that he was trying to protect his best friend while also hurting his best friend as well. To know that he might have ended the life of a robot was giving him so much guilt and perhaps. a lot more than what a 7 year old should.]
Then can I ask you something? When you do have to fight, how do you not feel bad? And when you hurt someone really really badly?
[Because how else was he suppose to feel? It was more than what he could handle]
[ Pretty much. She wished he didn't have to make all those difficult decisions. Ishtar pets his head slightly before getting back up. ]
Yeah sure what do you wanna ask?
[ She blinks in confusion when he asked her about fighting and how did she not feel bad? In truth, she always felt horrible fighting in any way or form. It's not something she is proud of. ]
You just don't you know? It's not easy having to fight someone but there's no way you won't feel bad about it. Only people who truly are heartless don't feel bad. I feel bad when I fight but I have to take responsibility for the stuff that I do. Sometimes just not feeling bad isn't an option. You're carrying the weight of doing something to hurt someone else and sometimes it's either you do it or you die not doing it.
[ She's not even entirely sure what she's really saying anymore. ]
[While Takeru wasn't exactly sure what Ishtar was saying, he did understand the point. After all, if he didn't fight back, Hikari could have gotten badly hurt. He knew that deep down but it still didn't make it right.
Which was why he gave a nod]
I know, I had to do it or else that robot would have done something really bad. She said she was going to kill Hikari-chan and I don't know if she would really do it either. But I just know I couldn't stand by and do nothing.
But I still wish there was still a way we could take her out of doing that. Because I still think of her as a friend even if she didn't.
[Despite all this thinking, he knew there wasn't anything he could do. Which was why he gave a sigh] I just hope that I don't have to do that ever again.
[ It was really hard trying to explain things to Takeru because Ishtar didn't entirely know how to word things correctly for a child. She didn't have much of a filter in general so sounding like an adult was a bit of a trick for her. At least, he somewhat got it. ]
When they try to harm your friends and family, that's where you have to take action. I'm okay if it's directed towards me cuz you know I can handle it but if it's directed to anyone I care about, I gotta stop them. I think that's what you're saying too.
[ She replied patting him on the shoulders some. ]
I wish it were that easy as well. It's kind of hard to do things the nice way when everything around you wants to do it the hard way. I hope so too. If you get in a pinch, let me know, I'll save you.
[Don't worry, Ishtar. Takeru was trying his best to sound like an adult despite him being a child sometimes. As much as she was trying, Takeru will understand what she meant]
Mhmm, I am! Because if it's for me, I can take care of myself. But if it dor my friends, I don't know if they can handle it! And besides, I wouldn't be a very good friend if I didn't!
[He said with a sigh. But he does have to wonder how long it would be before he can handle Cerealia. It was starting to take a toll on the poor boy]
But don't worry, I will! And I got Patamon with me so I'll be okay!
[ He's a smart boy so she can't really argue with that. She trusts that he will be mature enough to handle it if he understands. If anything she'll be here for him whenever he needs her. ]
That's definitely a fact there. You're so mature, Takeru. I wish I was this mature when I was your age. It's kind of silly how I acted when I was younger.
[ Eventually, there will be a point where everyone will be able to handle it but it's different for every person. ]
Yes, that's good to hear. I'm glad to see you're doing well and I'm glad that I get to be here to see you again if anything. How is Patamon by the way? I haven't seen the little guy.
