They're fine. We never had a chance of winning anyway unless they were really, really pathetic.

[He coughs out a laugh.]

So how was your first kill, Yugi? I am assuming this was your first.

[ feels nothing but guilty about that, but unlike none he wasn’t going to desert him. next time though, instead of trying to fight he’s just going to grab him and run. ]

[ . . . ! ]

[ flinches. ]

It... was, and that’s not what I intended. I didn’t want to kill you. [ takes his head in hand. ] Are you okay? Maybe I should have just... left you dead, horrible as that is to say.

[Super over dramatic to the point of it being very laughable.]

I was just betrayed by my own partner. No, I'm not okay. How am I supposed to go on?

[ stares. ]

[ sometimes he can't even with you, nine. ]

I guess karma's a bitch, as they say.

[Laughing, but mostly coughing. You revived him and now you are stuck in the room with him until the next round.]

Oh, what did I do, Yugi, to deserve such a betrayal?

[ mistakes were made. ]

[ except he'd rather have him alive than dead seeing as dead wasn't his intention. ]

You ditched me, Nine, if a fight with, what, five other people.

I didn't expect them to kill you. And it looks like they didn't.

Actually, which ones did attack you?

Because I ran, but [ sucks in a sharp breath. ] who knows, maybe you're right, and they wouldn't have done a damn thing.

None, but Duality stepped in that stupid bear trap, so I can speak for what might have happened had I stuck around.

What do you expect, Yugi? You put out a bear trap. A fuckin' bear trap.

[Now he's cough/laughing like an ass.]

It might not be such a good idea to laugh, Nine, unless you're trying to kill yourself.

[ he's already trying to forget about the bear trap, thanks. ]

Oh, Yugi-kun, if you didn't want me to annoy you, you shouldn't have revived me.

I don't mind... [ sighs. ] much.

Mind if I ask you something?

If I'm just the vessel for the Pharaoh until he finds his memories. but King's got his own body now, then that's got to mean that we found them, right?

[Ugh. Serious topic change, give him a minute for his brain to catch up.]

The Producers can pull those that have died here so they could have just brought back his dead corpse.

[ he can have all the minutes he likes. it's not like there's anything else doing in the scrapyard at the moment. ]

. . .

[ unsettling. ]

So if we go home, then he'll be dead again, right?

Don't go home then. But you have friends back there you care about, right? Ha! That's going to be a difficult choice for you.

Yeah... [ not something he wanted to think about in depth. thanks nine. ]

What about you? Given the option would you stay or would you go?

[Laughing sharply before answering.]

How pathetic that you need to even ask. You need to get your bond to be strong, Yugi. I'd go with Anubis.

[ ಠ╭╮ಠ ]

We're working on it.

[He's an ass. What did you expect? Hopefully not much.]

Tick. Tock. Who knows when graduation is going to be. You'd better be ready.

[ not anymore. ]

When the time comes I'll be ready to make my decision.

[ and he'll likely follow king. ]
