Part Seventeen -B-

"Who's Mini-Me?" Matty asked, looking confused. He slowly shifted
towards me and grabbed my hand.

"He... he's a very good friend of mine, like Tai."
This seemed to assuage him.

"So, what's wrong, Angel?" Matty asked, looking impatient. I think
he really wanted to find Tai for me. For some reason, he had an
instinct to trust me. I'm glad that he did. But... how did Kou-kun
appear here?

"It's... like he disappeared. I felt all of him, his emotions, his
fears, everything. Then, just as quickly, it all vanished. There's
got to be a logical explanation!"

That's Kou-kun. Even as a dead ghost he's trying to rationalize the
world with logistics. "Uh, Kou-kun. There's not much logic in the
situation NOW. But he just, disappeared?"

"Yes."

"And, you can't feel him at all?"

This caused Kou-kun to get all indignant, "Like I could before?
Besides, I have no clue how it happened!"

"And I... I don't feel so well..." I said, sitting down. The world
started to... I don't know the best word for it, it SHIFTED, it
MORPHED. I couldn't only see what was in front of me, but also what
was behind that, and what was inside of THAT. And just as quickly...
it all ended.

"Matt!"


An-... dun dun duuunn! Freakyness!
