Summary: Some things just don't feel real; even when they are.
They called him heartless. They called him cruel and cold and selfish. Just because he decided to stay home instead of going with them to the service. Why would he want to go to that pathetic little service anyways? It was completely pointless.
But they didn't see it that way. They said it was to honor the one they had lost. They said it was their last chance to say goodbye to a good friend who had always been there for them. To a friend who had always been there for him.
They couldn't understand why he didn't seem to care about what had happened. He couldn't understand why they thought Ryou was gone forever just because of something that didn't even feel real. He couldn't understand why everyone was so upset; couldn't understand why everyone wanted to say goodbye.
He didn't want to say goodbye. He saw no reason to. It didn't feel real. So while everyone was at the church, saying their pointless goodbyes, he was alone in the house, sitting on the sofa and staring out the window. Waiting for Ryou to come home just like he promised he would.
Because Bakura was never one to believe things that weren't real.
