What else can I grasp from this?
What should I do?
Is it just self-pity.. knowing what's at stake?

Every single time,
I've acted as though I was seeking for clear answers
Chasing reasons and explanations.
But was I... really?

No, that wasn't what I wanted.
For some reason, I couldn't..
Or maybe I could have, but didn't.

"What am I really chasing?
What's the big deal?
What am I... running away from?" Yuza

For once again..
Lost in your thoughts
Not.. being able to say anything...

"Are you lost in your thoughts again?" Seto Kaiba asked.

"Yes... and confused," Yuza

I admitted

"It doesn't have to make sense right away.
You'll find your answers, just like you always do. You'll figure it out solving things on your own," Seto Kaiba

He reassured.

The tantalizing simplicity always eludes me,
Like trying to break free from a prison,
A struggle that feels almost impossible.
Like stumbling over a rock,
Desperate to move forward,
Ignoring the consequences

The harsh truths I try to avoid.
It's more than just piecing together fragments of reality.
It's about seeing the bigger picture.

"Is there something bigger worth it that's waiting?" Yuza

I wondered aloud.

"Maybe there is," Seto Kaiba replied.

"I hope it's something worth it. I want it to be... for all of us," Yuza

"There is. You just have to wait and see for yourself," Seto Kaiba

He said as his voice steady.

"Maybe... I will," Yuza

I said with a hint of resolve in my tone.

"You'll know once you find what you're looking for," Seto Kaiba

"What I want... is to protect us. You, me, and Mokuba.
And I believe... I might have a new role to play in all of this" Yuza

This isn't an endless obstacle course,
Yet here I stand, overwhelmed,
Feeling as if I'm being pushed from my own home.
Like a concrete floor straining not to crack,
Even as the worst looms on the horizon.

"This isn't the end you know.
It's too early now" Seto Kaiba

"You think there's something else out there, and I plan to find it myself," Yuza

"Yeah... but I can't say I know for sure.
I think I do, but then again... maybe I don't," Seto Kaiba

"Everything feels like a puzzle," Yuza

"Yes... it is," Seto Kaiba

But amidst it all,
A fire stirs within me,
Yearning for an escape,
To light up the darkness—
Not with fleeting sparks,
But with a lasting flame.
I want to be more.
More than the weight that presses me down.

"What do you have left?" Seto Kaiba

Here lies a choice.
A life... a future.
A game I can play on my own terms.
The choices I've made—
The choices we've made—
Have led me here.
But they won't define my path.
What I do next will.

What do I possess to begin anew?
What steps can I take?
How can I restore balance?

"A choice... that's what I have," Yuza

I refuse to hide any longer.
I will not turn my back on the future—
I will confront it.
I will strive to change it.

Could change offer something good?
Could it be more than just a fleeting escape from the storm?

I need a solution.

It feels like chasing a stray cat through flames,
The fire intensifying—
My life spiraling out of control.
Yet even in this storm,
Even on this dead-end road,
I'm starting to understand:
The road hasn't truly ended.

There's still a way forward.
I just have to find it.
Keep walking... keep pushing.
Maybe the road will choose me,
Lead me to the strength I need to embrace it.
To follow it.
Out of the storm,
Out of the shadows,
And into the light I've been searching for.

"Maybe... I can be the one," Yuza

I whispered.

As the weight of everything presses down,
Instead of sinking,
I take a deep breath and stand taller,
A fire igniting in my chest.
I will reclaim myself.
I will forge my own path.
I will discover what truly matters in the road ahead.
