Notes: Happy Odaiba Day!!!!! Here it is, pals. The Digimon Buzzfeed Unsolved AU that nobody asked for. You can definitely enjoy this without knowing anything about Buzzfeed Unsolved. Also the shipping is so light that you can read it as Gen.

One of the great joys of the latter half of this year has been getting to play a whole lot of piano! (with apologies for the weird camera angle and so-so audio)
It's been a lovely year overall - lots of time spent with friends, family, and a goofy little kitty; amazing travel across three countries; and some big moments at work. I hope all of you have a 2024 that is better in every conceivable way!
