[ It had worked. He'd woken up to an explosion of points, had requested something from the shop, and received it. Now Ken stands in front of an ICP, wrists loose at his sides. He's swallowing, nervous.
At his side, Wormmon looks up. ]
Don't worry. Even if it doesn't work, we're still in a good place.
I know. [ Ken makes up his mind, widens his stance. His elbow snaps up, revealing a black smartphone held in one hand, screen facing outward.
His voice rings out clear. ]
Digital Gate, Open!
[ Train - Kitchen ]
Ken-chan, when?
Almost.
[ Ken checks on the kettle of water heating up on a hot plate. Based on how long it's seemed since they ducked back into the train between greeting new arrivals, the chill of the fog having had negative effects on Wormmon.....
The kettle whistles. Ken removes it, then fills a cup near where Wormmon sits on the counter. Wormmon carries a packet over, rips it open with his mandibles, and drops in the powdery contents.
Together, he and Ken-chan use a spoon to dissolve the powder. A sweet aroma begins to waft through the air, heading out into the hallway. ]
Even instant cocoa is yummy. Thank you!
Careful sipping it.
[ They have many packets and nearly a whole kettle of water left. And they've just made the kitchen smell like chocolate.... ]
[ Train - SPA ]
[ The cocoa had been something Wormmon enjoys.
From the look on Ken's face as he beckons over the next person he sees, the spa is his. ]
Come and see this!
[ His eyes are alight in a way he's never demonstrated on the train before. And he gestures - to the sauna? ]
I'd figured an indoor relaxation area wouldn't be able to capture the wistful aesthetic and sense of history of an outdoor bath. But, as if expecting they'd need to compensate, they've embraced a minimalistic style that helps visitors focus on their sensations.
And the sauna--!! [ God, he's so excited. A kid on Christmas morning. ] Steam baths for relaxation date at least as far back as the Mayans (that's three thousand years, according to Harvard Health Publications.)
[ Yes. He says the parentheses. "Open parenthesis, close parenthesis." ]
The reduction of stress levels that accompany the expansion of blood vessels have a positive impact on cardiovascular health. What a thoughtful addition to the train---!!
[ Wormmon, meanwhile, is staring at the pool like he's worried it's going to jump up and drag him in. He's gone to the hot spring with Ken-chan. That had been fun. Is this similar....? ]
