[The body - and it's still hard to think that word right now, but the body is spare feet away from him. Between the corpse and the lightning flash that just lit up the room, his heart is pounding hard in his chest.
And is that- Yes. Yes, it is. The absurdity of it almost pushes a laugh out of Daisuke, something edging on hysteria, but the inappropriateness of it holds him back. But there's no mistaking it - there's a deck of cards in his hand. And several of them are covered in what looks like dried blood.]

[A warm weight in his lap; he feels it when his legs shift. Looking down, he spots Chibimon laying on his thighs, unconscious but unharmed. Tension leaves his body, makes his limbs loose with relief.
Seeing Chibimon reminds Daisuke about the Jogress connection. Hard to describe, but he focuses his heart and- ah. There it is. Good. Far fainter than it should be, but he can still feel Ken... somewhere. Not here, obviously, but that's probably for the best.]
Ken... Hikari-chan... I need to find them.
[And suddenly, something creaks behind him. Daisuke whirls around, gripping the cards tight as if he can actually use them to defend himself. He spots double doors behind him, one of them slowly edging open.]
Someone is in here with him. But are they friend... or foe?]
