## History

### *The Chaos Express: Salvaged Dreams*

"*Look, I understand what it’s like to be forced to say goodbye to something that you love. But if you choose to stay here in this forest, you will* die*. Do you understand that?*"
―The Mysterious Camper to Mx. Icarus *Salvaged Dreams*, Monochrome Blue Skyworld"

When Mx. Icarus finds themselves in the Forest of Despair, they encounter a "mysterious camper" who has chosen to camp inside the forest in a location that isn't too far away from the trail. After he spends some time talking to Mx. Icarus, he decides to leave the forest alongside them. When the two of them arrive at the trail, Mx. Icarus looks at the mysterious camper and feels as if they had seen his face somewhere before, but couldn't figure out where they had seen it. They ask the mysterious camper if they have forgotten what it means to have courage, which briefly confuses them. Mx. Icarus quickly apologizes and tells him that they confused him for someone else and how they looked a lot like them, with the only thing that they were missing being a pair of goggles. The camper then tells Mx. Icarus that he has spent too much thinking about courage really means to forget about it. Mx. Icarus then asks if he would leave the forest with them, and after spending a few seconds lost in thought, he accepts and begins to make their way to the forest's entrance with them.
Several months later, Mx. Icarus is mentioned to be thinking about them while holding her Digivice. She later decides to leave Skyworld and boards a train in order to find them.
Nepia, Ray, Dark Pit, and Lucine quickly form a search party and eventually find eventually them in Japan in Taichi's apartment. When Mx. Icarus decides to leave and return home, he gives them their phone number, allowing the two of them to stay in touch with each other.

## Quotes

"*It seems that you’ve strayed away from the trail. Do you need some help?*"
―The Mysterious Camper to Mx. Icarus *Salvaged Dreams*, "Monochrome Blue Skyworld"

**Mx. Icarus**: "*If they don’t like you camping here, then why do you choose to stay?*"

**Mysterious Camper**: "*Well, I actually like the peace and quiet this place has compared to the noisy city streets. Besides, I’m not really a people person. Then again, the people I tend to meet in this forest usually aren’t very talkative, either.*"

—The Mysterious Camper and Mx. Icarus *Salvaged Dreams*, "Monochrome Blue Skyworld"

"*[Mx.] Icarus looked back at the human who had helped [them] and felt as if [they] had seen a face like his somewhere before, but couldn’t exactly figure out* where*.*"
―Narrator *Salvaged Dreams*, "Monochrome Blue Skyworld"

**Mx. Icarus**: "*Will you leave this forest of despair with me?*"

**Narrator**: "*[They] looked back at the human, who appeared to be unsure. For a few moments, they appeared to be lost in thought, as if they were remembering someone that was important to them. But after waiting for their answer for a few seconds, [they] saw them slowly nod back and extend their hand towards [them].*"

**Mysterious Camper**: "*Let’s leave this dark place together.*"
