Pt Four
Yugi sighed. Then he sighed again. He had lost count of how many times he had sighed that day. But who really cared? Each sigh was a moment, a mere second of his wasted lifetime.
He downed another bottle. Then he closed his eyes. He wasn't sure whether or not he was going to wake up the next day, or even where he'd wake up, but he didn't mind. It didn't matter any more. He'd done what he had to. He had told Pegasus what they wanted him to. And for now he was going to sleep. Without being interrupted by the voices.
"Hear that, guys?" he asked sleepily. "Don't talk to me!" But he wasn't angry; in his voice was indignant affection.
He relaxed, and let himself sink into a state of dreaming.
"Goodnight, Yugi," the voice of his youth whispered. In his dream, he heard it, and he smiled peacefully. He snuggled further under the quilt, briefly protected from the harsh, cruel world. But he kept smiling.
The flowers arrived the next day.
