Epilogue Light more Cruel than Darkness
After long reflection, I realized what I must do about my other self. However, the nature of the doing involved more cruelty than I had ever used in my entire life heretofore.
To accomplish my ambition, he must come to trust me. Rather than be his slave, I would be his servant. I would not resist his will, even if he asked me again to be his pawn. No matter who it hurt, I would play the game, gambling with lives and sanity. Even Yugi's. Even my own. In this way, gaining Yami Bakura's confidence, whatever plans he kept as his alone would become mine. Knowing them, I could help him to faster realize them. Doing so would sharpen my cruelty until it could cut even him down.
Thereafter, I put my plan into action. In the space of about a month, I had hurt more people than I had in my entire life. When Yugi's puzzle was broken, I stole a piece and allowed my Yami to infest it with his energy. I broke my own arm at the order of Yami Bakura so that a man named Marik, with whom he was working, could get at Yugi. I even allowed three duelists to be swallowed in the darkness summoned from our graveside duel.
The sacrifices weren't for naught, however. As I did his bidding, my Yami entrusted me with several key facts regarding the Sen Nen Items and his lust for them. The one who possessed all seven items and three God Cards could control the world. When he told me, I carefully concealed my thoughts from him. My other self would gather these golden items and the three cards with my help. When that day at last came, I, endowed with powers consolidated in long isolation and harsh experience, would usurp him. The power he sought would become mine. Using this new power, I would seal him from my body forever and take all he had gained by using it. This perpetual torment would be an ample beginning for his punishment for having destroyed my old life.
Being stripped of truths that formed the basis of myself, though I was unaware of it, has changed me. I became another person, a stronger man for what I have survived.
Even now, I eagerly await the day that I will strike my heartless, greedy other self with justice. At times, an hour lasts for a millenium. Yet I possess the patience to wait until the time is right.
