[So much is happening so fast- Takumi feels overwhelmed, but there's something he has to do. So after the meeting he heads into Watanuki's room]
I'm sorry for the intrusion...
[he takes Toby off his head, lightly kissing the spot right between the lenses before holding him to his chest]
You're gonna stay in here with Watanuki-san from now on, okay? It's... I might not be going with you after this.
[Toby squeaks in distress]
Shh... he's sleeping. And you were at the meeting. You know why So... I... just know I love you, more than anyone else. Do whatever Watanuki-san says and... and b-be good.
[He puts the digivice on the bed with the sleeping Witch, and puts the charger on the nearest clear surface.]
If you want to sing it should be okay. Just don't be too loud... And- Watanuki-san... thank you. If things go bad, and you need more to keep my Wish... Take whatever you need. My eyes, my memories. I don't care. Just please, save him. Save Nirrti, too.
[Jess this tag hurt my heart, how can you do this to me?
And while Takumi won't be able to see anything, once he leaves Watanuki will be able to pull Toby into his dream world (a long, dark void, marked only by the presence of a nearby sakura tree) for a short conversation at least. And during that conversation, he's going to have a fond smile on his face.]
[It takes a moment for Toby to realize what's happening- as an AI he doesn't need to dream, so he never has. And in here his mental image of himself is clear: a young boy, looking very similar to Takumi at that age, only with the ribbon like ears and fangs of a Tokomon. He looks around in wonder before noticing Watanuki there]
[Toby really is a child, isn't he? And fortunately, Watanuki is pretty good at understanding children's emotions. They're so open and free with them, he can easily figure out what they want.]
He told you to stay, but you're not happy about it, are you?
[Yeah, he starts crying softly. Then startles, surprised by the sensation- he knows what it is from Takumi's memories. The same way he knows what a hug is, and what Syaoran's food tastes like. But the echo of sensations are not the same things.]
B-but if I'm not in the digivice anymore how will I help..?
[The idea of just... doing things for himself outside singing is still... new]
[Aww, Toby. Watanuki is going to crouch down near him and offer out a hand, so Toby can hold it if he wants.]
There are a lot of things you can do. Besides, you're still technically in the digivice right now. This is all a dream, you're just imagining your body as it is now.
Dreams are funny things. In a dream, you are only as strong or as weak as your mind is. In a dream, anything is possible, but you have to be able to imagine it.
So this body here, this is your imagination at work.
[ He looks around, though other than Watanuki all there is to see is the tree. So he thinks of trees: he's seen the ones outside before too, and the ones in all the places Takumi has been.
Slowly a new tree pops into being. A sapling thats leaves sparkle with flowing data. Something he's never actually seen except in the smallest passing from Takumi's memories: a tree from the Digital World]

Your father cares a lot about you, doesn't he?
no subject
I think so...
[But he made him stay with Watanuki anyways]
no subject
He told you to stay, but you're not happy about it, are you?
no subject
Dad made me to help him and the Pieces in the Game! If... if I'm with you then... maybe he thinks I'm not useful anymore...

I don't think he would make that wish for someone he thought wasn't useful.

A dream... I don't think I've ever had one before...

[There's one positive thing at least!]
Dreams are funny things. In a dream, you are only as strong or as weak as your mind is. In a dream, anything is possible, but you have to be able to imagine it.

[He looks fascinated by the idea. He's never... made something before- even his current form was just taken from the data he had access to]
Could I make other things?
