Spem Reduxit

Disclaimer: I don't own Digimon.

Author's Note: 'Spem Reduxit' means 'Hope
Restored' in Latin. (Takes place in between
01 and 02.)

-----------------------------------------

Why am I the chosen one? Me, Takeru. I have
that weird crest thing. 'Hope'. What is this?
Why 'hope'? Why not something cool, like 'God
of Death' or some neat, deep almost
unexplainable thing? Not hope. I don't even
know what hope is, I guess. This crest certainly
doesn't belong to me. Maybe Hikari should have
it instead. She's the most optimistic person I
know. But, then again, if we're going by levels
of optimism, then Yamato would have the Crest
of Sarcasm and Pessimism. Hehe. I amuse myself
sometimes. But, back to point of pondering, maybe
I should ask around about this 'hope' thing. Maybe
there's a reason I have it. I'll ask Koushiro,
he's real smart. Maybe he'll know. Maybe Yamato
will know. Or maybe it's unexplainable! But I
seriously don't understand why I, Takeru, am
chosen for 'hope'.
