[ Seto's hands clench and unclench several times. Oh, he's tempted to lose control and lob a punch...but he's had this argument with himself before, in his own head. And looking back in the mirror, at just who he is when he's deepest in that safe and alone at the top mindset?

No, he's certain that he's chosen the right path. But...Stark...?]

I've already had this argument with myself. Let's go through it: bonds are weakness, winning's all that matters, isolating at the top's the only thing that's going to keep Mokuba safe, blah blah blah. That might work in Domino, it's even necessary with the target the wealth and power paints on you but if you haven't noticed, all that wealth and power you have means nothing here. Which means no target.

And I had a choice. I could fume in my corner about how superior I was and continue to make things unnecessarily difficult...or I could meet people from other worlds, who could expand my knowledge far beyond Earth. And I could be...happy, for the first time in years. Not about the situation, I still have to wrangle void travel to get back to Mokuba, but what I've gained from knowing my teammates is invaluable.

[ He turns to go, with a genuine little smile. ]

But if you're absolutely certain a loser like me has nothing to offer you, I'll leave you to it. I have to find my friends.

[ He emphasizes the last word deliberately. ]
