Longing [Solo]

The sun was hanging low in the sky as Kitsumaru stepped onto the platform. His eyes glistened as he held  back tears. Nostalgia was hanging heavily in the air. The Shibuya Station was  the last place he had seen  his  Digimon before  sending him back to the  Digital World  five years prior. The young man fought back  the churning in  his  stomach and proceeded along with something  clutched tightly in  his fist.

A security guard approached him and Kitsumaru grinned nervously.  "It's a bit late  to  be wandering the station.  What brings  you to this part of the terminal?" Kitsumaru kept grinning and said  shyly,  "I'm waiting on a friend of mine. I got  here a bit early so I figured  I would kill  some time by taking a walk until their train arrives. I'm sorry to cause you concern." The guard chuckled  and  replied, "It's no trouble at all.  I'm just giving you a hard time! Tell  your father I  said hello, Mr. Amane!" Kitsumaru gave another nervous laugh and gave a thumbs-up before the guard  continued off toward another platform. Kitsumaru sighed. He had  trouble keeping track of all  the people his  parents  knew but they sure had  no trouble recognizing him. Especially when  Kitsumaru was doing his best  to  go unnoticed.

Kitsumaru slipped away from  the main area quietly after sliding his D-3 past a suspicious-looking scanner device. It made  an  odd beeping noise before allowing him to pass. He moved quickly, hoping  nobody noticed him entering the seemingly-shut down platform, as he didn't feel  like answering any questions.  His  throat began  to tighten as he walked alongside  a familiar-looking train.  It looked  exactly as it had  five years prior. He gently placed his hand on the side of  the train and it  seemed  to  hum as he  slid his hand along it as he walked. This  was it.

"You're back," said a deep voice.

Kitsumaru was a bit startled. It had been a while since he had been  in  the presence of a Trailmon. It had been a while since he had been in the presence of  a Digimon in general. He nodded as if  the train could see him and said quietly, "Y-yes... I...I want to see him- my  Digimon... I want to see him again." The train hissed as it released steam, as if reacting to what he had just said. The door nearest Kitsumaru slid open. Kitsumaru felt as though this  were an invitation. He  gladly accepted. Kitsumaru stepped back upon the Trailmon and after a few short  moments everything went dark as the Trailmon departed.
