The Story of My Life

44

It was one of those moments
One of those situations
Where you find yourself reflecting on the weight of your experiences
The tough situations you've endured the rough spots and the hardness of your life

Kaiba...
He has always been in a hard life
With rough spots scaring his back and body
Navigating the tight corners of his life
Where each moment felt like a fragile lifeline hanging between the beginnings and endings.

His life with Mokuba was riddled with turmoil
Shaped by memories he desperately wanted to forget.
The mansion they called home was a prison
Filled with shadows of past horrors experiences
He wishes to erase from his mind.

Kaiba didn't want to dwell on those memories.
He longed to let go and move forward

But.. the specter of his stepfather
Gozaburo Kaiba loomed large.
Gozaburo's relentless ego and insatiable ambition created a nightmare for both him and Mokuba.
They became the proverbial rat and mouse in a cruel game—
Kaiba trapped in an abusive cycle that left him devastated night after night
Shaking in his bed, haunted by the torment he suffered.

While for Mokuba.,
He had to come by to his big brother and always check on him
Just like how a protective little brother can be for their big brothers

No one should endure such pain—
Not even the sun or moon above us.
No one should

I felt a kinship with Kaiba and Mokuba
Understanding their struggles through the lens of my own issues.
My experiences were echoed in their own pain.

While I...
Abandonment and isolation had marked my life..
When my parents left
Forcing me to leave everything behind and move on.
Yet, unlike them, I had a choice to escape my past.
I didn't care much for it

But at what cost?
Why did life have to be so miserable for those who sought something more?
It seemed unfair
A cruel twist of fate that left us grappling with our burdens.

Why did it have to be this way for all of us? What was the root of our suffering?

Greed and a thirst for power often drove the narrative
Revealing a darkness that belied the superficial desires of those who thought they deserved everything.
They chased after wealth..
Yet.. often lost in the sight of the simple truths that defined life.

It wasn't just about money
It was about the connections we can share
The moments that can bring us to light that can amid the darkness.

In a world where greed could twist a person's true nature
It can become a clear transition that sometimes
You have to purge the darkness.
And let it free..

Life was about more than material gain
It was about the bonds we forged and the love we shared.
Those were the moments worth fighting for—the true essence of existence.

And in that understanding
I found my purpose..
To protect Kaiba and Mokuba from the horrors of their past.
They deserved better
A chance to break free from the chains that bound them in the deepest corners

And I... what do I have left now?
A responsibility that keeps me in shape hangs in the balance
A weight that can't be ignore.
It's a burden, yet also a purpose
A reason to push through whatever comes in my way.

Every each moment I spend with Kaiba and Mokuba
It was like a reinforce of a sense of duty.
I've made it my mission to shield them from the very forces that sought to break them.
I can't let the past dictate the future

And...
I refuse to allow Gozaburo's legacy of pain to taint their lives any longer.

But this is the path that wasn't as easy.
I feel the shadows of my own history creeping in
Reminding me of the pain
I thought I had left behind.
I worry that I'm not strong enough to bear in with this responsibility

What if things fail
Things might flailed out for what it's needed the most
Of what's the most it's needed in their lives

As long as I have them by my side
I know I can face whatever comes next.
And in that thought, I will find in my own resolvations
