"...and Koushiro, {in 'that' kind of 'world'}, would 'just' be a 'quiet' person who loves computers. Yes, Koushiro might remain *partly* 'expressionless', to a point... but Koushiro would still laugh at jokes that don't land - including Koushiro's own - and might blush just a bit in embarrassment. And then as time goes by... Koushiro would just gradually open up Koushiro's heart."
"...That's the kind of person Koushiro might become..."
- Taichi Yagami {"Incorrect Quote"}

“Why won’t you allow Tentomon to evolve?! Tell me why!”
Koushiro understood after Taichi explained himself, but he turned pale upon realizing that he had spoken to his senior {senpai} Taichi with such an insolent tone. Even {Koushiro} seemed surprised at what {Koushiro} had done.
“I’m so sorry, I didn’t mean—”
But Taichi said, “Don’t worry about it. In fact, it made me happy to hear you speak so casually to me. I felt like you’d finally opened up your heart to me.”
