Addict.
Ryou's got an addiction. And someone else can see it...
Ryou Bakura has an addiction. I can see it. Oh, the boy doesn't know I can tell, but he's addicted. To who, I don't know, but I know. Yes, who. He's too good a person to get addicted to drugs. But he is addicted to someone. I can tell because I watch him as he sits in the back of my classroom, smiling to himself.

Recently, he started coming to class with bruises and a split lip, and still he smiled to himself. I'm beginning to worry about Ryou. This addiction of his looks painful.
---
This morning Ryou didn't come to class at all. Someone found him at home, still passed out in a puddle of his own blood. One of his friends, I believe. They're with him now in the hospital.
---
I always worry for my students, but especially for Ryou. He's always so frail. I hate being unable to help, not knowing. So I did the one thing I could do.
---
"Yugi."
"Sensei?"
"Ryou has an addiction."
---
And now he knows. Ryou Bakura has an addiction...
There. Enjoy?
