[It takes him a moment to sit back up again, somewhat dazed by the attack. It wasn't as if it was the worst thing he's ever been struck with, but boy, did that ever take him off-guard. He blinks for a second or two, trying to regain his senses, and looks over to the boy hovering nearby. If he had any doubts before, Takeru mentioning Patamon erased all of it. But why the heck did he look so different?

Yusuke waves a hand, brushing away Takeru's concern.]

Don't worry, kid, I'm fine. I was just stupid and got distracted.

[He shoots him a curious look, though, trying to puzzle things together in his head. Hikari said he was missing, so Yusuke assumed he was sent home, but... maybe they brought him back? But why?]

I'm more concerned about you though. Where the heck were you the past few days? Growthspurt-ville?
