I can, but I can't at the same time. [ The boy will sigh trying to come up with a reasonable explanation. ]

You see, my partner was already... dead. He protected the world and ended up becoming a spirit of some sort until I found him surrounded by flames. We connected somehow in that fire and since then I've been using his form to help save the world. I'm his host so to speak.

So I could talk to him through my digivice, but that would guarantee only a vague answer like a shake of his head or something.

Yeah, crazy huh...
