You saw it?

Is everything all right?



[Sent: Jan 30: 1:02pm]

I'm sorry. I thought you'd want to see it.



[Sent: Jan 31: 4:36pm]

Even if you're mad, please just let me know if you're all right?

Where are you? Kaiba-kun's staff said you hadn't been in to work. I'm really worried. Are you all right?

No matter what, you're still my friend. Something like this... it doesn't change that. It never would.

[After a moment, his head lifts up a little. Not enough that he looks directly into the camera again, but... something seems to have struck a chord with him.]

[And it doesn't matter what you're made of. No matter what, you're still my friend.]

[It's... exactly what Yuusei would have said.]





[Slowly, Bruno lets his eyes drift shut contemplatively. Then for the first time, just a little bit... he smiles.]

... Thanks, Bakura.

[[There is a huge feeling of relief at that small smile. He reached him.

He nods slightly]]

When you get back, give me a call, okay? We'll go hang out.
