THEIF

Takes place in the episode "Playing Games".

I don't want to understand this horror
There's a weight in your eyes that I can't admit

Yamato looks down at the critically injured Takeru in his arms. Puppetmon have striked T.K. with his Puppet Pommel when he was trying to escape. Matt shakes the dying T.K., hoping that he would revive his energy.

Everybody ends up here in bottles
But the name tags the last thing that you wanted

Guilt ran through Matt's veins, as tears formed at the corners of his eyes. T.K. was his responsibility and he failed. He was a failure. And he's about to lose the only person that keeps him alive. The only person who he truly cared about. Matt turned to Joe, who was trying his best to heal T.K's wounds. but with no luck, T.K. breathed his last breaths.

As the world explodes we fall out of it
But we can't let go because this
Will not go away

At that point in time, silence was brought over the digidestined. Everyone, speechless, hurt, yet afraid.
Liquid substances were in everyone's eyes.
Matt clenched his fist and brought it to his chest as he felt his own trembling heart pound louder and louder.
He tried to wipe away his tears but they can't stop flowing.
At that moment, the only thing on everyone's mind was T.K., and home.

There's a house built out in space...

Matt tilted his head up to the sky, trying to swallow his tears.
Matt realized that when he goes home, T.K. won't be there with him.
And it was all his fault, because he have failed him, and everyone else.
T.K. Matt thought. I'm sorry I let you down... I really am... And now you're gone..

I can't see that thief that lives inside of your head
But I can be some courage at the side of your bed
I don't know what's happening and I won't pretend
But I can be your....

Everyone looked at Matt, with sympathy in their eyes. As Matt let go of T.K.'s lifeless body and carefully placed it on the ground. Tai puts a hand on Matt's shoulder, and Gabumon looked at Matt with his red swollen eyes. Matt shrugged off Tai's hand but haven't moved from his current position.

Someone help us understand who ordered
This disgusting arrangement with time and the end

The digidestined dig their grave for T.K.. All except for Matt as he was frozen, sitting on the same spot he was in when T.K. died.

I don't want to hear who walked on water
Because the hallways are empty and the clock ticks

Gabumon managed to get Matt over to T.K.'s grave.
Uncontrollable streams of tears fell down everyone's faces, each person with their own prayers for T.K..

As the world explodes we fall out of it
But we can't let go because this
Will not go away
There's a house built out in space

They realized at that moment that their time is running out, and from that point on, thing will be different. They will change. Seven of them are left, and the world depended on them. T.K. depended on them.
Everyone stood up and realized it was time for them to move on.. Matt was the last one to stand up, with his dried up tears, and his bloodshot eyes. The digidestined looked down, everyone thinking the same thing.
"We all hope he'll be okay...."

I can't see that thief that lives inside of your head
But I can be some courage at the side of your bed
I don't know what's happening and I won't pretend
But I can be your....
