The Labyrinth of Lonely Souls

by reminiscent-afterthought

[AT] All three of them have lost someone precious. And so the labyrinth calls them - and offers them a shadow of a choice. They can find the voices lost to them and stay, or find a sort of peace and move on.

The Labyrinth of Lonely Souls
14. The First Fork II

Juri doesn't pick a passage from the fork. She just runs and winds up in one and she can't even be sure which. Not that it matters. Because Leomon can come back and that's all that matters.

They do that in the television show, she remembers. Though she never watched it much. She heard things from her classmates though. How digimon come back to life. There's even a place where it happens. The Primary Village.

Maybe that's where the passageways lead.

But some part of her reminds the rest that a village won't be found indoors, and it makes little sense for floors of tiles and stones to lead there.

But the rest of her doesn't care. She just runs and runs and runs until she can't run anymore, and then she trips and falls.

The flame had gone out before then, but the torch rolls away from her as well.

And there is only cold stone and darkness with her.
