This part of Rika's and Takato's journey has ended but in five years they must face a nightmare that will cost one tamer his life.

Prolog

It's always the same way

They are hanging from a dead tree

I move towards them

But a hand grabs me

I turn but see a mirror

But I don't see me

The mirror shows a knife pointing

Out of my chest

Jagged

I die

Then

White

I fear sleep now

But that fear is never enough.

Now even as I tell you this

I think I'm dreaming

My name is Takato Matsuki. I am 17 years old. I live in a bakery with my father, and mother; who is now nine months pregnant with my new baby sisters and brother. She's having triplets. Yippee. I have a lot of friends like Kazu, Kenta, and Jeri. My best friend is Henry who has lately has taken up teasing me about the living hell I'm about to go through. I guess he speaks from experience, he has a little sister. My girlfriend is Rika. She can be kicking me across Japan one second then another she's jumping on me and…well I don't think I need to go into too many details. She is a strong person with a lot of inner demons so she put up lots of walls around herself but we've been taking them down together, one brick at a time. I suppose you are wondering why I recorded this and why you should be listening. Well just sit still and I'll tell you some more interesting things. I am a digimon tamer. So are my friends and girlfriend. But more importantly this is my last will and testament. So if you are watching this then I am already dead.
