In The Millennial World

Chapter 4: The Mystery Lies Ahead

Having to be in a place where you don't belong can be a rough thing to be wherever you're at in a strange place
It hadn't been a long journey, not in the way this journey has been expected
Being trapped on the other side of the world felt like an eternity.
Left onto the other side of the road, fallen aside into another world away from you
It was the kind of distance didn't needed to be measure itself in miles, but the aches of being too far from the place you called home.
Home doesn't mean a home
It's where it doesn't feel like the same place

Being where you don't belong, can be a water land waste filled
Maybe it wasn't truly a long journey...
It wasn't anything at all.
Just a stretch of space that keeps me separated from where I belonged.
And now, standing here where everything has changed, where everything feels unfamiliar
The difference just hits me in between ways like a steep quiet, heavy way.

It's was different.
And lonely.
To be where, in a tough road where to keep up
It feels strange, it doesn't mean anything

After Bakura's merciless act, after the way he tore me from my world and left me stranded here
I realized just how completely I'd been cut off.
Now... it's just only me, standing on the far side of time itself
Staring at a world that was never meant to be mine.
No one else is here with me.
No one else.. came..
No one... except the Pharaoh.
And.. this is where he belongs.
Not me.... no one.. but anybody else but someone else..

I'm the outsider.
A shadow cast into someone else's story.
A doll dangling on a string, pulled along by fate's cruel hands.
The Pharaoh is the only familiar presence I have,
my first anchor in this ancient place.
The one who stepped in when I was unconscious, all the way back on that day I dueled Kaiba...
The day I nearly obliterated myself.
That moment had felt like a storm, a clash between rivals, and a spark of pride and fury.

But afterward...
Afterwards.... came the guilt.
The weight of it settled deep, twisting inside that none of this was supposed to happened

Just only left here... being alone...
All that's left is nothing...

"If only... there were a way to find myself again," Yuza

I whispered into the empty air.
My fingers trembled as I pulled the small pendant charm from beneath my robes.
I opened it slowly, the metal worn smooth from years of being held too tightly.
Inside was the tiny photograph of Kaiba,
the one I'd kept ever since he'd given it to me.
A simple charm, but precious.

A reminder of home.
A reminder of him.
A reminder of everything I've been torn away from.

"If only you're there... please.. don't go away.." Yuza

My voice cracked, barely more than breath.
I closed the charm gently and pressed it against my chest, holding it as if it were the last piece of myself I had left.
No matter what happens, no matter what this world tries to take from me..
I won't let go, I'll still hold onto them strong
Even if my memories are starting to fade...
