duel 11. video (cw: death or dying)

It's been a while since he's made a video post in which he looks actually serious, he doesn't look sad for a change, just thoughtful.

When he finally speaks he does it uncharacteristically (for him) quietly, even though, firm.


How do you deal with loss?

When people leave this place or, when you know you will never see someone you care for again?
When they pass away.
Do you try to forget about them... or... 「No, that thought actually hurts.

What is that helps you to move on?

If they do at all.

This has been in his mind ever since Maedhros and Celebrimbor were gone, and even way before. He didn't knew them personally, but he could see how much pain their departure had caused — only one person had made him feel that way, but it wasn't Yugi who left, it was him. Atem left them all and he cannot help but wonder, was he the cause of grief among his loved ones, the ones that survived him when he decided to give up his life, and then when he had to move on from the world of the living a second time?

He doesn't wish to think so highly of himself, but it's hard, specially when all his life the world did use to revolve around him. But he worries about those he left behind, they would be fine, wouldn't they? Heh, if only they knew he hasn't moved on at all, that he still talks to his partner in his head all the time... What a little hypocrite.

Mokuba is gone.

But Atem is sure he already knows. He doesn't expect a reply.

You mean the gods? I've certainly met easier ones. But alas, the petty and the high-handed will always be among us.

True. But I was born in a land of gods, and in my experience they never do.

Truly?

[The Elves and the Valar were long-time neighbors...until they weren't. It's a complicated relationship.]

The Valar are far from unfeeling, and they usually mean well. But they can struggle to understand the heart or desires of an Incarnate. Who could expect the Earth or the Sea to understand one of the Children fully, with all our innate contradictions?
