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.」

not everybody gets to be lucky.
she could desperately use some time in counseling, but she comes from a society where such a thing is unheard of.
she blinks at the camera to blink back tears and tries to maintain her smile]
No, I've never heard of such a thing. What is it?
private video
「There was nothing more relaxing than talking about the Goddess of Justice, Ma'at, and how everyone eventually would get their asses kicked by her and playing a little game. Kinda like counselling, just better.」
I did make one with, junk mostly, but it's playable. Less stressing than blackjack.
private video
[she would like the concept of a goddess of justice, though she'd be afraid of being judged for the way she turned a blind eye to the Lannisters' crimes]
Isn't that what we have to do with everything around here? Cobble things together out of pieces of this or that?
private video
「This is why it was very important to just, be good, as one possibly could. Don't kill people, don't wish them wrong, worship your cats. You know, the usual.」
Heh, right? ... ah... 「A bit of a sigh.」 Can't be helped.
「He is a little ashamed to say it, but he misses a little of the glamour from back home, the commodities, how easy it was everything.」
private video
[she was too blinded by here ambition to be queen back home. she regrets a lot about what she did in Westeros]
Unfortunately, it can't.
[he shouldn't be ashamed to admit that. she misses being queen, having others respond to her beck and call]
private video
「Assuming she wouldn't want to sail through the stupid islands and take forever to get there. He wishes they could move away from here already, even the ice planet sounds easier to deal with than this lost pieces of land on this cold salty soup.」
private video
[no, she doesn't want to sail though the islands any more than she absolutely has to. it's already inconvenient enough that her home and the island she lives on are on exact opposite sides]
private video
「Being cooped up at work all day cannot be good either! Hopefully it won't rain too much, the idea, truthfully, is to spend time with her, there also are no demons on sight!」
See you soon.
「And with that, he disconnects.」
private video
[she throws herself into whatever it is she's doing, whether it's sword training with Curufin or working at the Sewing Shop. and thank goodness for no demons, at least for a while!]
Yes, I'll see you soon.
