I think they're putting all of their hopes into you being a good little sacrificial lamb.

[puzzlingly]

Really? Is that what you think this is all about?
No one is making me do anything I don't want to.

Why are you telling me this now?
What is it to you?

[b_e_w_obsessiveskeptic]

I think stories passed down by word of mouth can become corrupted by those who have an agenda to push. The Ishtars have many reasons to lie so they can be 'free' from their duty.
But they're preying on you having no memory of anything necessary. Doesn't that set any kind of warning bells off?

Because you're so caught up in being self-righteous that you haven't the first clue how to look out for yourself

[puzzlingly]

「Why are you being like this?!
One shouldn't call it a long pause between texts, but there is a dely, all right.」

I trust them. I remember.
Unlike you.

「They are all he has left to rely on, any other link to his past is gone, it's nothing but dust.」

And you do?
I know my place in the world, Kaiba. If it doesn't align with your personal agenda... It's how things are.

[b_e_w_obsessiveskeptic]

[His lip peels back into a snarl as he reads the message. What an absolute idiot.]

You don't trust me or I don't remember?

[It's making his skin crawl.]

This has nothing to do with my personal agenda. You're buying into the promises of a woman who claimed to see the future and was proven wrong. She's a phoney. She caught you hook line and sinker and played you like a finely tuned instrument.

[puzzlingly]

At this point, does it matter?

I will ask you again. What is it to you?
You never believed in any of this to begin with.

[b_e_w_obsessiveskeptic]

Apparently not.

I will not watch you be led blindly by the nose to chase a fate being dictated to you. You who wields such power to be a tool for another is

it's unthinkable. You're not a pawn. You claim to be the pharaoh, so take control of your fate.

[puzzlingly]

That's why I am the Pharaoh and not you.

Let it go, Kaiba.

[b_e_w_obsessiveskeptic]

No.

Do you not care about what could happen to you?

[puzzlingly]

What is worrying you so much?

[b_e_w_obsessiveskeptic]

[Unlike Yugi's delay, there's a noticeable pause between the messages on Kaiba's end.]

You may have blind faith in them but I do not. I will be on the lookout for the cracks in their story if you will not.

[puzzlingly]

Why?

[b_e_w_obsessiveskeptic]

I've been used by another before. I've seen how exploitation works. People who do want you to be starstruck with them. Tell you the things you want to hear so you stay by their side, do what they want.

I don't know if I could stop you, or convince you. But at least /think/ about this.

[puzzlingly]

Let's say I do. Let's imagine for a moment I'm a little selfish and do what I want for a damn change.
What's next?

[b_e_w_obsessiveskeptic]

Whatever the hell you want. The world is your oyster, you're the champion of the most popular card game in the world. You own stocks in Industial Illusions. Give yourself a hickey with a fucking vacuum- I don't know.

The point is, go see the world. Do /something/. But do it because you want to and not because of some crackpot fortune teller batting her eyelashes at you. Do something for /you/.

[puzzlingly]

That's cute.
And you're going to give a new body too, or do you just want me to steal Yugi's life away so I do what I want?

[b_e_w_obsessiveskeptic]

That's not what I'm saying.

I know it's not fair on either of you. I know he wouldn't want you to just fade away either.

[puzzlingly]

FUCK YOU YOU DONT GET TO USE THAT ON ME

[b_e_w_obsessiveskeptic]

I'm right though aren't I?

No one wants you to fade away, but you're looking for a quick fix because you feel guilty. You're not some leech. Whatever you are, you need each other otherwise you'd be like Bakura by now.

[puzzlingly]

you dont get to satisfy you ego with this. YOU DONT!

YOU KNOW NOTHING! WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS!?

[b_e_w_obsessiveskeptic]

Maybe I don't know anything.

But I seem to be the only one that seems to notice how god damn unhappy you are.

[puzzlingly]

「And of course, no reply comes back.」
