...Has it been that long since he tried to scam people?
Well, seems like I finished my studies. Now either to get some of that herbal tea Alma promised, spend quality time with my siblings, and today, no matter what happens, will go, all, rig-
...*sigh*... What could it be now?
I'll just read it late-
Gaugh!
So...that's how you play, huh?
...fine! I don't even care about your stupid robot stuff! You're not who I'm after, and I can find other ways to be better than him...
I-Spark, I didn't deserve your help there. It's not like I said sorry, it's not like this we don't keep going through the whole "I say 'leave me alone' and then you come back like a day later" thing...
Like, I ain't even confused about this like you're a problem, but...why do you come back? Why do you keep coming back?
...
...Terry, I know you don't like us talking about then, but...your grandpa really didn't need to go as far as he did.
Like, maybe you were cheating that kid, maybe you did put the blame on me...
But that's all you did. The way the old man reacted, you'd think he just saw you...well, doing what the little bullet brat did just now.
I'll be real, I don't think you're perfect. But the way they treated you back then was going too far, and you've been stuck by yourself because of it. Even when the most you've done since is be upset about it. And who wouldn't?
Nobody's given you the chance to be better than you were before. And it hasn't been much, but you have been getting better since then. And as long as there's that bit of you that can change, I wanna be sure someone's there to lend a hand.

...I...I guess we should head home.
GET OUT OR I'LL PIN YOU TO THE GROUND AND LEAVE YOU TO BIT ROT!!
...she wasn't talking to you two. Just some Viruses. In any case...
Have you figured out the pattern yet?
THE PLACES THEY LEAP IN FROM...CITY AREA FOR SURE, NO OTHER MATCH!
Wonderful! We know where the root of this rotten problem lies.
(Man, after what happened with Gramps, it felt like it was every man for himself in this world...)
(Heck, I showed that enough with how much I was pushing SparkMan away...)
(...but he's really been seeing more in me? For so long?)
(And yet...what have I done for him?)
Wh...?
Alright! That should do it!
Hah! That was too easy!
...Way too easy. Something's not right here...
...Don't we normally get something from busting viruses? Like Zenny or something?
...Come to think of it, yeah... So is the battle not over yet?
That can't be right, though... There's not a virus in si-

Th-the hell...!? What even happened to them!?
...I'd, uh, like to assume that is the answer.

...Guess we've got no choice. One way or another, we have to take this thing DOWN.
