*Sunlight fractures across the rolling waves. Rika is calf-deep in the foam, beckoning to her partner, but Renamon stands rigid on the shore, her golden fur bristling, blue eyes wide with dread. A little way down the beach, Takato and Guilmon have paused to watch, their expressions a mix of curiosity and gentle amusement.* Rika: "Renamon, come on. It's just water." Renamon: "I am scared. Are there sharks here? Have you seen any? Tell me truly." Takato: "Is she still on about that?" Guilmon: "On about what?" *(Her fear is not irrational; it is a tactical anxiety, a Digimon's ingrained weakness to Water-types manifesting as visceral panic.)*
