Zetsu drew back, for a moment almost ready to slam the door shut on the monstrous beast and look elsewhere. But something caught his eye in the movements, how.... repetitive they seemed. Staring for a moment seemed to confirm this, and his eyes brightened momentarily, probing the beast to see the truth; he sighed in something like relief. "It's an illusion." He confirmed for Mio's sake, now stepping into the room without hesitation; weaker illusions held no power over you once you stopped believing in them, after all, and this one didn't seem particularly sophisticated.

He was proven right as he stepped straight through the dragon's flank as he approached the bed, spotting Jonouchi's duel disk as he emerged from the other side. So that was it... He removed the card from the tray and slid it back into place, watching the illusion disappear. Only then did he note the cards scattered on the floor; for a moment, Zetsu simply stared. "What....?" Jonouchi was a duelist, wasn't he? That had been his primary occupation, if he remembered right. Those cards, that machine.... hadn't those been his pride and joy here? To leave it on like that, and the cards scattered around so carelessly....

His eyes hardened, and he started looking around the room for clues. "Something happened to him." That he was certain of. This wouldn't be an accident or carelessness, not with Jonouchi.
