"Well... he's not a weapon, he's a creature. His name is Hawkmon - he's what's called a Digimon, short for 'Digital Monster'." Miyako said. From her pocket, she fished out the D3 Digivice. "My friends have one, too. Just, well, not Hawkmon. They all have a different Digimon." Holding out the device, she continued. "I use this to help make my partner stronger. Mostly by making him evolve... well, rather 'change'... into a stronger beast."

This was probably gonna be a lot for Aerith to take in, but if she hasn't been broken by where they are now, talking about Digimon wouldn't.
