Sixth Drawing [Video]

[Takato begins speaking shakily.  His face is still pale from some kind of shock.  In the area behind him, the figure of a large man-shaped creature with the head of a lion can barely be seen.]

Please, can someone tell me what is happening?  Is this a nightmare?  It isn't real, right?  It can't be real.

...Leomon-

It's... it's not. [He can barely speak himself. And still looks shook up.]

[Takato can barely think through the shock and grief. He'd forgotten. So much had happened after Leomon's death. Megidramon. Juri. Zhuqiaomon. The D-Reaper. He'd never had the time to grieve for Leomon.]

What is it?

A cruel trick. [Closes his eyes in order to keep his voice steady.]

Why would anyone do something like this?

[adaystartshere]

Can you touch him?

[dreamtamer]

...I didn't try.

[adaystartshere]

Maybe he is not real, one way or ther other.

[optimism paired with 'there is no reason for the corpse of someone who has been dead for ages to show up herre']

Maybe this is a dream. But if it is, it's a horrible one.

[Takato turns and glances back at the body.]

It's wrong, to bring back the dead like this.

[dubiousdoings]

Ignore it, Takato.

[dreamtamer]

I don't think I can.

[dubiousdoings]

You'll have to. They're just trying to get your goat.

[dreamtamer]

...But it's Leomon.

[verdantventure]

I-I don't think it's real but...It sure seems as though it is.

[dreamtamer]

Maybe it doesn't matter whether it's real or not. It's still painful.

[verdantventure]

I know...just. I wish it was less painful.
