HURT / COMFORT

Pharaoh!

[ It's probably pointless for him to throw his weight into a door that only exists within their shared mindscape. He could have just turned the handle or put his hand on the door and the ancient bolted door would have opened.

There's no time for that!

Their friends are in danger. Each name runs through his thoughts as he tilts his head back to look at the maze of stairs. He doesn't trust Malik's darker side to not take advantage of the situation and chaos. Mai and Joey are still in danger. Kaiba doesn't believe in magic to defend himself from it. Tea, Tristan and Duke are all there simply because they want to cheer them on. Then, there's Malik's sister, Odion, and somehow Luna and her friend got on board. There's too much at stake for either one of them to be down for the count.

Not that he regrets for a moment going along with the insane idea of throwing themselves into Ra's blast to protect Joey and Mai.

But, now there's a rising panic that something might have happened to his best friend. He was in control. It was a Shadow Game, right? What happens when someone takes a bolt of energy from a god?

Yugi picks the nearest door and throws it open in hopes of finding him. ]

Other Me?!

[ Despite the fear and panic in his voice? There's a mild determination. His friend had taken the bolt, but Yugi was going to make sure he was the one that shouldered the pain. It's fair--they're both in this together!

He's just not sure how long he's going to be able to handle it. It feels like his whole body is on fire. ]
