We met back in Domino. You were a lost spirit protecting Yugi at the time, and I was an asshole who saw him as being in my way. You forced me to rebuild myself, we dueled over and over, you forced me to work with you, I fought to be acknowledged by you...and then you left, because destiny said so or whatever.

[ A very pointed scoff. ]

But I couldn't accept it. That you didn't face me one last time, or even say goodbye. I was willing to chase you anywhere, even beyond death...but it took me a while to realize why.
