Lloyd Irving

[There's worry written on Lloyd's face when he turns the Dreamberry on, and his voice is hesitant, tight with the same emotion.]

Hey, this might seem like a weird question, but...

[His hands clench around a piece of paper, and for anyone who knows it, that's the arena visible in the background.]

Does anybody know if Zack Fair knew Zelos Wilder?

Damn it, I think Zelos is in a sleep coma again. He's not the only one, either. Colette's still asleep- [At least that's what he thinks. He's a little out of the loop, completely unaware that he'd been in a sleep coma, too.] -and Dino was in one, and Zack's friend, and other people. It's like they're contagious or something.

Is that what's really going on? Are people just getting sick with something we've never heard about?

[Man, now he really wishes Professor Raine was here. Even if she didn't know how to heal it, he knows she could figure out what it is. Then maybe they could figure out what to do from there.]

[He hasn't seen Dino in a while, so when Lloyd passes by the onsen during one of his many searches for the Otherworldly Gate, he decides to drop in and say hi to his friend. Of course, there's a chance that Dino might not be in, but there's no harm in checking since Lloyd happens to be here, right?

( ... )

[Some minutes later, Lloyd's panicked face appears on the screen.]

Something's wrong with Dino! He won't wake up!
