Ch.3
My lover's gone,
I know that kiss will be my last
No more his song,
The tune upon his lips has past'
Memories were all Kari had left. The dark waters around her were slowly draining away everything. Everything she had ever learned or loved, was slowly evaporating. Leaving only the memories.
T.K.'s hand brushed her face, wiping away her tears.
I don't see why you're crying Kari. I'm fine, there's nothing wrong at all. Everything is perfect, because we're together.
Then he kissed her, melting her fears away like no one else could.
We'll never be apart. You know that Kari.
If only I knew... Kari whispered.
And those were the last words she heard him say.
...that he was wrong. Dead wrong.
He collapsed at home that night, and never regained consciousness,
Kari watched him fade. Her T.K., who was once so full of hope, was now a lifeless figure, living off machines.
The brain tumour...
No matter what the doctors said, they had still hoped that the T.K. they knew would come back to them.
But during those long hours Kari sat at his bedside, she could see his soul slipping away. All those long hours Kari spent watching him shrink into a skeleton, covered with wires, adrift on a cot, and filled with death. A silent death.
She had hoped his blue eyes would flicker open some day, and he would smile. But he never did. That fateful morning, he left, forever.
And I didn't even get to say good-bye.

Frantically, Tai paced the sidewalk. Does anyone, anyone, know where Kari is? His brown eyes searched the faces of the remaining digi-destined. They all looked away, or shook their heads sadly.
Tai blinked away tears. Oh, god. We've got to find her!
Or her body. All heads turned towards Matt, sitting on a park bench a short distance away.
What do you mean, Ishida? Tai demanded.
You saw her, didn't you? Matt said calmly, She was devastated, absolutely devastated.
You mean, Yolei's horror showed in her voice, She might have killed herself?
Matt replied, I've toyed with the idea once or twice.
Joe pushed his glasses up the bridge of his nose, What makes you think she did that, Matt?
It's simple, Matt shifted his position on the bench casually. Kari and T.K. had something special. A connection we may never understand. Because neither of them are here to explain it.
The light of understanding filled Izzy's eyes. So she may have, or will, commit suicide so they can be together again.
Cody, who had remained quiet until then, added his opinion. But that would make Kari a fallen angel. And fallen angels don't mix with pure ones.
