"Ever hear such a wild cry?"
She was finally here.
He had watched for it, waited for one of them to show up. It had been a long time, a very long time.
Or had it been? He had no idea really. Time and space didn't exist in this place. That was something they didn't understand. If they had, would everyone be here now, being chased by his friend?
The Digimon sighed, the noise abnormally quiet. He didn't need to understand everything. It wasn't like he understood much of anything. He never had.
He did know... that she could change things, if she really tried. If she really held out her hand, Taiki would take it. But she had to mean it, as he had meant it back on that day.
Shoutmon wasn't sure they could do that at this point.
Oh eventually, they would be able to. They could find the answer someday. There was no doubt in his mind that that would come. Could they do it right now, when he needed them to, was something he worried about.
Because Taiki couldn't hear him, couldn't hear much of anyone. He could hear that lying bastard, but Shoutmon did his absolute damnedest to keep him away. He couldn't help it; Bagramon angered him. Okay, he pissed him off. Taking advantage of someone like that, out of fear, that wasn't the way a king did things. Unfortunately, trying to prove that resulted in him being here... inside the Dark Stone.
He wished his best friend would would make him feel a little less guilt.
"You shouldn't lie to him. You abandoned him because you forgot him. You must get it right."
Yes, they had abandoned Taiki in a way. They abandoned his heart, and he was trying to bring them back to it in any way he could.
it didn't make Bagramon's whispers any more right. And someday, he could kill the angel for making Taiki believe they were.
It would take time, and Shoutmon was anything but patient.
