"Do you like me?" Her childhood friend froze for a moment. She didn't deny it right away, but she didn't admit it either. Shan Chenmei awkwardly picked at the paper in her hand and said with a wry smile, "Sorry, I shouldn't have said that..." "I do." She seemed to see Ichijoji as he had been when he was a Digimon Emperor, always displaying a resolute determination to get what he wanted. "I like you." * One summer, Ichijoji made a wish to a traveling deity. "I hope I can bring happiness to my childhood friend." * Shan Chenmei had always felt a gentle strength in her childhood friend. She loved spending time with Ichijoji. Whether they were sitting around daydreaming or doing something else, simply being by his side made her feel safe, as if she were wrapped in warmth. Later, she became so immersed in that warmth that she couldn't pull herself away. → Many personal interpretations and my own timeline. No Ken and Hikari pairing.
